Rumor Refutation：Can the use of skincare products cause milia?

 The use of skincare products does not cause milia. The cause of milia is tiny wounds on the skin, and during the skin's self-repair process, a small white cyst is formed. It could also be due to sebum being covered by keratin and not being able to normally excrete to the epidermis, thus accumulating and forming white particles within the skin.

What are the specific causes of milia on the face?

  • Eating Too Much Greasy Food

Consuming too much oily food in daily life, such as meat or other greasy foods and high-sugar foods, can lead to an excess of oil that forms sebum and is excreted from the face. Sometimes, this can clog pores and form milia.

  • Eye Fatigue and Dryness

The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the human body, measuring only about 0.06 millimeters. Coupled with the fatigue of women's eyes after a long day of work and life, and the frequent blinking of the eyes, the skin around the eyes becomes fatigued and dehydrated, which can also easily lead to the formation of milia.

  • Acne Mistaken for Milia

In some cases, acne on the face is mistaken for milia by many people. The simplest way to distinguish between them is that milia are much smaller than acne, basically only the size of a needlehead or smaller, while acne appears relatively larger.

How to Remove "Milia"?

  • Removing Milia with Massage Oil

Apply makeup remover oil and massage the affected area for at least 15 minutes to ensure sufficient massage time.

  • Using Vitamin E

After washing your face every night, evenly apply Vitamin E oil to the areas with milia. In about two weeks, the milia will dry up and can be easily peeled off, although this method may not be effective for everyone.

Rumor Refutation: Pay Attention to Dental Health NO.1

  Rumor 1: Orthodontic treatment should be done as early as possible, and the earlier the correction, the better the result. ✔/✗: Partially correct, partially incorrect. Orthodontic treatment should indeed be initiated early, but not necessarily as soon as possible. The period from 7 to 12 years old is a crucial stage for early intervention, during which the growth potential of teeth and jaws can be fully utilized to correct dental and jaw malformations. Therefore, all children should undergo an initial consultation with an orthodontist at age 7 to check for dental anomalies such as impacted teeth, supernumerary teeth, and congenitally missing teeth. For certain specific malformations, such as skeletal Class III malocclusion (anterior crossbite) and mesio-inclined lingual occlusion, orthodontic treatment may begin as early as age 5. However, in clinical practice, it is often observed that some 2-year-olds undergo orthodontic treatment, which falls into the category...

Rumor Refutation:Can an ordinary mask turned into an N95 mask by tying a knot?

  1.Wearing a medical mask with knots tied improves its sealing performance Following the method demonstrated in the video, the sealing performance of a common surgical mask can indeed be improved, preventing viruses from reaching the respiratory tract through gaps on both sides. Before conducting science popularization and promotion, the US CDC publicly released relevant experimental reports around February 2021. The report indicated that tying knots and then wearing the mask can enhance filtration efficiency. 2.Knots don't turn it into an N95; there are significant differences in all aspects. The differences between the medical surgical masks we usually use and N95 masks manifest in many ways: In terms of filtration efficiency: N95 masks are one of the nine particulate respirators certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The "N" stands for "not resistant to oil," and "95" indicates that the filtration effic...

Rumor Refutation: Pay Attention to Dental Health NO.2

  Rumor 1: There are many complications associated with orthodontic treatment, so it should be avoided if possible. ✔/✗: Incorrect statement. In reality, the sequelae associated with orthodontic treatment are far fewer than people often perceive. When appropriate appliances and forces are utilized for correction, and patients comply well with treatment, these supposed sequelae can be completely avoided. In the case of adult orthodontic treatment, there are indeed some special considerations. For instance, adult patients may already have periodontal disease or gingival recession, and in cases of malalignment, there may be insufficient bony support between teeth, which can lead to the emergence of "black triangle" spaces after correction. This phenomenon is relatively common in adult orthodontic treatment, but it is not a direct consequence of the treatment itself; rather, it is a natural occurrence during the improvement of tooth alignment. To minimize the oc...
