Hindustan Time Cafe

Hindustan time cafe is doing story about how fashion can be harmful for our body. Following are the things we need inputs on.

• Heavy earrings

1. Heavy earrings over time will lead to ear lobe sagging and also elongation of the ear piercing. In some cases the thin skin below the piercing is not able to support and the hole can split too. Wearing heavy earrings will cause ageing of the ear with thinning and sagging.

The split hole will need to be be stitched up. If the hole is getting longer, it can be either stitched or given support non surgically with the help of dermal fillers. Dermal fillers placed under the piercing and around can give support to the thin skin and holds up the earring much better.

Ears that have been stretched with thinner sagging lobes can also be injected with dermal filler or can be surgically repaired and lifted

• Toxic fabrics such as polyesters, nylon and rayon

1. synthetic manmade fabrics such as polyester, nylon and rayon are made with toxic chemicals which have been shown to be in highest concentration in these fabrics. Apart from the compounds found in them that are harmful they are also fabrics that don’t let your skin breath. They don’t let sweat evaporate and this causes accumulation of bacteria that can lead to odour and other diseases.

Need doctor’s opinion on how the above 2 can be harmful for our bodies
