Makeup and CT Scans
Sometimes, makeup has tiny metal parts that you can't see but the scanner can.
Yes! Some makeups have metals which can mess with the scan pictures.
If the scan gets blurry, doctors might not see everything clearly.
On the day of your scan, it’s best to go clean-faced.
Lotions or creams can also affect your scan, so skip those too!
It’s better to avoid anything on your skin unless your doctor says it’s okay.
If you forget and wear makeup, tell your doctor. They’ll help you clean it off!
Wearing comfy clothes without zippers or metals is also a good idea!
