The use of cell phones (mobile phones) that stick to the face can potentially cause acne and other skin problems on the face. This is due to dirt such as dust and other particles that many stick to the surface of the phone.
Dr Estee Williams, a cosmetic dermatologist and cosmetologist in New York, said the cell phone is also where many bacteria come together, although that's not the main cause of acne.
"If there is a lot of dirt buildup on the cell phone, it could theoretically clog your pores and clogging in the pores can trigger acne, not because of bacteria," says Estee. "It's because of the dirt on the phone," he added.
Dr Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, says that acne is essentially caused by genetics. However, he also agreed that the use of a phone that is constantly attached to the skin can be a factor in the increased risk of acne.
"The phone is held to the face so that the oil, dirt, and makeup can accumulate on the surface of the phone.If you hold the phone at a later time, then restore it to the face, this will contribute to causing inflammation and closure of the pores," he said.
Both Williams and Zeichner noted that if they found a patient who had acne on just one side of his face, one of these was due to the cell phone use habits in the patient.
If the pores are closed, the natural oils on the skin can not flow freely. To prevent that, they recommend cleaning the phone regularly with a safe material to avoid dirt and oil that can clog pores and bacteria.
However, for those already susceptible to acne, Zeichner stressed the importance of cleaning the skin with the right facial products. In addition, he also emphasized to meeka to switch to using earphones and bluetooth-based talk equipment rather than putting the phone directly on the face.
