Question
Is it true that cornstarch powder can cause other diseases? A two-year-old girl uses cornstarch powder after every bath, including in the intimate areas. Some people say that cornstarch powder might block the fallopian tubes or cause other diseases. Is this true? I am very worried. What should I do?
Answer
As long as the cornstarch powder is produced by a reputable manufacturer, there is usually no problem. Even if there is an issue, it is primarily skin-related. However, we do not recommend using cornstarch powder in intimate areas. We suggest you try to reduce its use and apply a moisturizer designed for infants after bathing. The intimate areas can simply be cleaned with warm water. These are our suggestions for this question, and we hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
