Early Breast Development Caused by Contact with Estrogens: Prevention

- Birth control pills
- Estrogen sprays to reduce hot flashes during menopause
- Lavender oil and tea tree oil have weak estrogen in them
- Prevention: use and store these products carefully. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying.
