A member asked:

Can blowdrying your breasts and back cause cancer if the air is too hot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a problem: While not the best way to dry your breasts, the heat from the blow gun as long as you do not burn your skin, will not cause internal problems like breast cancer.
