Luo Hongbin, deputy director of the Department of Skin Plastic Surgery, Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, recently received a mother and son.

The soles of Xiaojun's feet are covered with many small pimples, each about the size of a soybean, with a few black spots on the surface and more than a dozen on each sole.

Speaking of swimming pools, in fact, in recent years, there have been many health problems in public swimming pools. Many parents will take their children to public swimming pools during holidays. The health department reminds that before entering the swimming place, it is necessary to check whether there is a public health permit, a health certificate for employees and an annual inspection certificate. At the same time, it is also necessary to observe whether the swimming pool publicizes the self-inspection of the PH value of the pool water and other related indicators. In fact, not only swimming pools, but also many public places have health hazards.

It is recommended that men be vaccinated, especially boys. On the one hand, it is to protect oneself from condyloma acuminatum of vulva; On the other hand, after adulthood, both men and women have been vaccinated and there will be no cross-infection. This also protects your future partner. Actually, the most important thing is to protect yourself. Many people infected with human papillomavirus have no symptoms. Obviously, they brought trouble to their girlfriend, and the woman was infected. She is also suspicious and destroys her feelings.

Postscript: After this incident, I believe that parents can pay special attention to health problems when enrolling their children in extra-curricular special training classes. It is best to make a field trip and make a decision after repeated certification.
