Bleaching and cancer

I want to know if it is true that bleaching can cause cancer.

Bleaching, specifically referring to the use of hair or skin bleaching products, does not directly increase the risk of developing cancer. However, it’s essential to be aware of the potential risks and side effects associated with these products, as some ingredients can be harmful or irritating to the skin and may have long-term health implications. While bleaching products themselves are not a direct cause of cancer, it’s crucial to use them with caution, follow recommended safety guidelines, and be aware of potential side effects. Always read product labels, avoid overuse, and consider the potential long-term effects on skin and hair health.
