The idea that applying toothpaste to the breast skin could cause breast growth arose because modern toothpastes include ingredients which irritate the skin when used in this way. Substances such as menthol and fluoride not only cause irritation to the skin but can lead to inflammation and even swelling, which unfortunately can be mistaken for signs of breast growth. It would of course be very useful if a common household item such as toothpaste could really help promote breast growth, but unfortunately not only does toothpaste not contain any ingredient useful for breast development, applying it to the skin can actually cause damage to the skin if it is left there for a period of time, such as overnight. The skin can be severely irritated, but even worse it can also be dried out to such an extent that the place where the toothpaste was applied can look scarred as though a burn had been suffered there.
