I'm worried about my cousin who seems to have chronic bad breath. It's becoming quite noticeable and I'm not sure how he can fix it. Are there any medications or treatments you'd recommend for his problem? I'm really hoping for some guidance on how to tackle this issue.

View allI've been noticing these small lumps on my body for about 10 years now. Is there a specific type of doctor I should consult for this? I'm really curious about what kind of treatment options might be available. Any advice would be really appreciated.
The small lumps on your body could be lipomas, which are usually harmless fatty tumors under the skin. You can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, if the lipomas are causing symptoms or cosmetic concerns, they can be removed surgically. However, if the lumps are due to other causes, the treatment may vary. It is best to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've noticed a thin film of deposit building up near my gums, and my gums seem to be receding a lot compared to before. Even though I brush gently twice a day and use mouthwash, the deposits keep coming back, and now my gums are much lower than they used to be. I first saw this last year, but brushing used to help now it's not enough. I'm really worried I might lose my teeth. Is there anything I can do to stop this without needing surgery or procedures that could make my teeth more sensitive?
There are a number of factors that can cause your gums to recede, including: Periodontal diseases. These are bacterial gum infections that destroy gum tissue and supporting bone that hold your teeth in place. Gum disease is the main cause of gum recession

I've been really diligent about brushing my teeth twice a day and using a tongue scraper every day to clean off my tongue. But, the problem is that no matter what I do, the white stuff on my tongue comes back within a day. It's frustrating. Do you have any advice or recommendations for products that might actually help? The scraper isn't doing much and just ends up hurting my tongue.
Typically, growth plates in bones close after puberty, limiting significant height growth. However, some minor growth (about 1-2 cm or 0.4-0.8 in) is possible until age 25. To potentially maximize residual growth: 1. *Hormone regulation*: Ensure balanced hormone levels, particularly growth hormone and thyroid hormone. 2. *Nutrition and diet*: Focus on a balanced diet rich in: - Protein (essential for growth) - Calcium and vitamin D (crucial for bone health) - Zinc, magnesium, and other minerals 3. *Exercise regularly*: Incorporate exercises that promote bone density and growth, such as: - Stretching and flexibility exercises - Weight-bearing exercises (e.g., walking, jogging, cycling) - Resistance training (e.g., weightlifting) 4. *Get adequate sleep*: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to support growth hormone production. 5. *Manage stress*: High stress levels can negatively impact growth hormone production. Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation or yoga. 6. *Avoid smoking and excessive drinking*: These habits can harm overall health and potentially limit growth.
