Bennu Gerede challenged doctors with a video where she applied a cream intended for the vaginal area first to her private region and then to her face. While Gerede said, 'I am sharing my own experience,' her post drew harsh reactions from many doctors, and some experts warned that this incorrect use could pose serious health risks.
Famous photographer and former Survivor contestant Bennu Gerede, after her statement "My dream is to die while making love," has come to the agenda with this new post. In the video she shared on her social media account, Gerede applied a cream used for the vaginal area first to her private area and then to her face, quickly becoming the center of controversy.
"I AM APPLYING IT TO MY FACE BY MY OWN CHOICE"
Commenting on the product she used in the video, Gerede stated that changes in estrogen levels have effects on the skin and mentioned that there are studies suggesting the cream may benefit the skin.
Gerede said, "I apply it to my face by my own choice. I am not a doctor, I am only sharing my own experiences."
BACKLASH FROM DOCTORS ONE AFTER ANOTHER
Gerede's post caused a significant uproar in the medical community. Many doctors pointed out that using hormone-containing products for different purposes without professional advice could carry serious risks.
While some doctors argued that the post could lead to misinformation, one expert reacted with the words, "What you are doing is a crime; your usage method is wrong. We will file a complaint against you."
"YOU ARE IGNORING THE RISK OF CANCER"
Another doctor reacting to the post stated that such content, which promises skin rejuvenation, overlooks long-term health risks.
The expert said, "You are disregarding the risk of cancer 5-6 years from now," while another doctor emphasized that promoting hormone-containing medications under the guise of "experience sharing" is not appropriate and carries various side effects.
