Gingivitis during adolescence may also be due to the patient's negligence in oral hygiene, chronic staying up late, binge eating and drinking, or frequent consumption of spicy and irritating foods, leading to poor oral hygiene. However, some gingivitis in adolescence is also due to changes in the patient's internal sex hormones, which temporarily enhance the inflammation of the gums. Generally, some inflammation can subside on its own after adolescence, but typical gingival inflammation cannot completely heal. At this time, it is advised that patients pay attention to oral hygiene. They could consider dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, and combine this with some oral medications for treatment, which generally can lead to recovery. If patients often neglect their diet, it is recommended that they adjust to a healthy dietary lifestyle and undergo regular check-ups, which can generally lead to recovery.

How to treat acne scars and keloids

In general, acne patients do not easily develop scar nodules after proper treatment. The occurrence of scar nodules is mostly related to one's constitution, such as a scar-prone constitution. Some patients have larger, more severely infected acne, and improper treatment can lead to further infection, resulting in hypertrophic scarring after healing. Treating scar nodules can be quite troublesome; the most common approach is still local medication and injections, usually two to three sessions, after which the scar nodules gradually shrink, soften, and become smaller, but they do not completely disappear. If the hypertrophic scarring is not very prominent, one can visit the dermatology department of a reputable hospital and use fractional laser treatment for repair, but no matter which method is employed, it is not possible to perfectly resolve the issue.

What are the reasons for scanty menstrual flow during adolescence?

It is generally believed that a menstrual volume less than 30 milliliters, equivalent to menstrual disorders in Western medicine, is also known as scanty menstruation. Scanty menstruation during adolescence is quite common. Some is due to psychological stress, which can cause menstrual irregularities. It is also possible that due to mental setbacks or significant stress and other negative emotions, the menstrual cycle and the amount of menstruation can be affected. Too little menstrual flow may lead to infertility; people with scanty menstruation generally have poorer physical health, which can severely lead to difficulties in becoming pregnant. It is advised to adjust one's mindset in the future. Secondly, it is important to eat foods rich in iron and nourishing properties to ensure sufficient iron intake, to avoid iron deficiency anemia.

How to treat acne on the face?

Acne on the face, medically known as acne, is primarily related to vigorous sebaceous gland secretion, consumption of spicy and stimulating food, or frequently staying up late. There is also some relation to familial genetics. When this condition occurs, it is essential to treat it with standard medications. A combination of oral medications and topical treatments with blue and red light therapy generally yields good results. If the symptoms are mild, treatment can also include glycolic acid skin peeling. For cystic acne, one can visit a dermatology department at a standard hospital to undergo minor minimally invasive surgery to clean out the pus and blood locally, followed by oral medication treatment. It is important to regulate diet and lifestyle habits, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, refrain from staying up late, enhance physical exercise, and avoid the misuse of cosmetics on the face.

Can acne and pimples wear a mask?

The patient has acne and chooses to wear a mask, which does have a certain impact on the acne. The acne appears around the mouth area, and wearing a mask will cover the affected area. Although it can protect one's health, it may exacerbate the symptoms of acne. Active treatment for acne is necessary, involving proper hydration by drinking small amounts of water frequently and maintaining a light diet, including foods high in vitamins. When going out, it is crucial to wear a mask for personal safety, especially during the epidemic prevention phase. More attention should be paid to self-protection. After returning home, the acne-affected area should be promptly treated with medication, and cleanliness and hygiene should be maintained.

Can children's acne be cured?

Acne in children can be cured. However, if treated properly, but lifestyle factors such as sleep, diet, stress, bowel movements, and environment are neglected, acne may recur. Acne, medically referred to as acne vulgaris, is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicle sebaceous glands. It can affect appearance and can occur at all ages, though it is most common in adolescents. The development of acne is mainly related to several factors: androgens, increased sebum production, excessive keratinization at the opening of the hair follicle sebaceous glands, infection with Propionibacterium acnes, and subsequent inflammatory responses. Other contributing factors for some patients include genetics, immunity, endocrine disorders, emotions, stress, diet, and staying up late. In treating acne, the main principles are to reduce sebum, dissolve keratin, kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and regulate hormone levels, which can lead to healing. However, it is important to maintain a light diet daily, avoiding spicy, fried foods, hot pots, barbecues, and beverages, as well as preventing staying up late, as long-term lack of sleep can also cause recurrent acne outbreaks.
