曼曼（音）是一个生活在中国中部省份湖北省汉口市的女孩，13岁的她容貌姣好。在成长的过程中，她一直是中等身高。但是在过去的两年里，曼曼一点也没长高。去医院检查身体之后，她被诊断为侏儒症。
Surprisingly, the cause of her growth change was cosmetic products.
出人意外的是，她身体出现问题的原因竟然是化妆品。
Manman’s mother is one of those trendy hot moms who pay a lot of attention to the looks. Ever since Manman was five, her mother started to put make up on her and dress her like a beautiful Barbie doll. However, Manman stopped growing since two years ago and her height remained at 1.4 meters (4.5 ft). After her mother took her to the hospital, Manman was later confirmed to have a case of dwarfism.
曼曼的妈妈很时髦，非常注重外表。自从5岁的时候，曼曼的妈妈就开始给她化妆，把她打扮地像是一个漂亮的芭比娃娃。然而两年前，曼曼不再长高，身高一直是1米4（4.5英尺）。妈妈把她带到医院检查，结果却被诊断为侏儒症。
“Manman’s bone age is 16 years old and her bone epiphyseal has closed already. She probably would never grow any taller anymore,” said the doctor. After communication with Manman and her mother, the doctor concluded because she has been wearing make up since an early age, consequently an over intake of oestrogen is the major cause of Manman’s dwarfism.
“曼曼的骨龄是16岁，骨骺已经愈合，以后可能再也不会长高了，”医生说。在与曼曼及其妈妈交流之后，医生推断曼曼患侏儒症的原因是很小的时候就开始化妆，导致雌激素的摄入量过多。
The acting physician would like to remind parents that children’s skin are still poor to function fully for the purpose of bodily defense, and is more sensitive than adults’. Using cosmetics at an early age can be very harmful for children in many ways. If a child grows less than 5 centimeters a year since the age 3 to puberty, parents should be alert of the situation and have the child checked at the hospital.
医生警告父母，孩子的皮肤层非常薄，无法充分发挥保护身体的功能，比成人的皮肤更加敏感。在很小的年龄就开始使用化妆品会对孩子造成很大的伤害。3岁至青春期期间，如果孩子每年长不够5厘米，父母就应该有所警惕，要带着孩子到医院去做检查。
