Can talcum powder be used on the genitals?

Talcum powder is a commonly used skin care product. It can be seen everywhere in life, especially in families with babies. It is a good product for baby skin care. However, many parents will not pay attention to get talcum powder on the genitals when using it. Since talcum powder is a chemical agent, it is inevitable that it will have an impact on the body. Let’s take a look at whether talcum powder can be used on the genitals?

You can apply talcum powder on a baby girl's butt, but be careful not to get it on the baby's private parts. Apply talcum powder on the baby's butt frequently to prevent it from getting red.

However, baby powder contains talc, which is an inorganic compound composed of magnesium oxide, silicon oxide and magnesium silicate in a "combined" form. Among them, magnesium silicate is what we often call asbestos, which is a substance that can easily induce cancer. The internal organs in the female pelvic cavity are connected to the outside world, especially the internal reproductive organs, which are directly connected to the outside world. The reproductive tract of female babies is short. Talcum powder applied to the vulva, inner thighs, lower abdomen, etc., and even dust particles in the environment, can enter the abdominal cavity through the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterine cavity and open fallopian tubes, and attach and accumulate on the surface of the fallopian tubes and ovaries, stimulating the proliferation of ovarian epithelial cells. This long-term, chronic and repeated stimulation can induce ovarian cancer. In addition, if the baby inhales too much powder particles in the air, it may cause diseases such as tracheitis and bronchitis.

So you have to be careful with the baby girl's private parts, especially avoid getting it above the vagina. When dust enters the reproductive system, the incidence of ovarian cancer in adulthood will increase fourfold. It can only protect the baby's skin when used under the condition of clean and dry skin. Talcum powder easily forms particles with the moisture that has not been absorbed in wrinkles, which in turn causes friction with the skin. It is recommended that you do not choose talcum powder for baby girls. Try not to apply it on the baby's lower body when using it. Change diapers frequently and wash with clean water after defecation and then absorb the moisture.
