Does testing lipstick cause hepatitis B?

Patient's question:

I was testing lipsticks in a cosmetics store and was afraid of getting hepatitis B. My lips got chapped, but there was no bleeding. I have hepatitis B antibodies. I want to know if testing lipsticks can transmit hepatitis B?

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B is mainly spread through blood. In your case, it is generally considered that you would not be infected. It is recommended that you exercise regularly and have regular health check-ups at the hospital. For patients, if the condition of hepatitis C is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis C. In addition, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. If you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately.
