A member asked:
Good morning doctors. is your temperature different (lower) when it is taken from a forehead scanner or from your inside wrist rather than from an oral thermometer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In some yes. Would likely depend on room temperature. Good science project. Temperature of skin depends on blood flow. Cold makes vessels constrict.
