The specialist warns that self-medication is a serious and common mistake in skin care

Our skin is one of the most affected organs on a daily basis, due to confinement, stress and lack of physical activity.

For experts, skin care should be a priority, because it is the largest organ in the body, which is reflected when any change or disease occurs.

However, according to Dr. Mario Naranjo, a dermatologist, using cosmetics that have not been properly tested can cause skin changes and diseases, such as allergic reactions, dermatitis of the face and neck, urticaria and acne.

“Sometimes we feel a little grateful for our skin, because when we see certain signs and symptoms we can’t consult a dermatologist. We dermatologists do the right and timely treatments to protect this very visible organ so that it is healthy and in balance, as it should” he commented specialist.
