As a male compatriot, I believe that many men don’t like to look in the mirror. Moreover, after the couple has lived together for a long time, many problems are simply ignored or simply ignored.

For example, the appearance of aging, living day by day, one day after getting up, they looked at each other and said: You are old, you have white hair, wrinkles, and lost teeth, and you can’t walk steadily anymore. . Why don't you notice that you are already old?

Yes, time is not forgiving, time makes people grow old! I can’t accept it!

This morning, 50-year-old Wang unexpectedly saw two yellow flat patches around his eyes in the mirror. He was shocked and thought they were some kind of tumors, so he hurried to the dermatology department of the hospital for treatment. Ask me: Does it have something to do with me getting old? Could it be some kind of malignant tumor? It's so strange that it suddenly grew out overnight, which is a bit scary.
