Question
A 13-year-old boy went for military training in the summer and came back with a white mark on his back the size of a 2-cent coin. It’s now been over two months. What could this be?
Answer
It’s important to maintain adequate hydration in your daily life. Also, keep the indoor air humidity controlled and ensure proper rest. If possible, consider using a nebulizer inhalation to help alleviate dryness of the respiratory tract mucosa. Additionally, avoid picking your nose as there might be bacteria on your fingers, which can hinder wound healing and increase the risk of infection. It’s recommended to consult an otolaryngology department in a regular hospital to check for other possible conditions.
