Good evening doctors. i apologize if this is a silly question....is it ok to use and to apply deodorant before having a fasting blood test? will the chemicals in the deodorant affect the blood test results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. These do not penetrate your skin surface deep enough to enter the bloodstream and alter any test.
