vasoconstictive medication and skin irritations can distort the result.

cosmetics.
Taking the forehead temperature provides a current measurement
of a person’s temperature. If you are uncertain about interpreting
the results or if the values are abnormal (e.g. fever), please consult
your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature
changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation,
severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse,
etc.
The temperature varies depending on the part of the body where the
measurement is taken. In a healthy person, the variance can be between
0.2 °C to 1.0 °C (0.4 °F to 1.8°F) in different parts of the body. This device
use infrared thermometer to measure forehead temperature.
