Patient's question:
I went to a cosmetics store for a test today. When I used the high-end product, I felt it might transmit hepatitis B, but my lips were quite broken, with no blood penetration. I still felt very scared in my heart. I want to know if trying on lipstick can transmit hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
You have hepatitis B antibodies in your body, which means you have resistance to hepatitis B and will not be infected with it. However, other types of hepatitis can still be transmitted, especially hepatitis C, which is spread through blood. Since your lips have rust stains, there is a possibility of transmission, so it's important to pay attention to personal protection when you're out and avoid using public items casually. In addition to treating hepatitis C, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
