Sure enough, Li Jianwei smiled bitterly, "You have thought of it, and others must have thought of it too. Not only did the young man have a checkup, but he also had a full body checkup. Whether it was blood or other things, everything was fine and there was nothing wrong with him at all."
p>

"What about the pulse and other diagnoses?"

"The pulse is thin and weak, the expression is tired, but there are no other symptoms."

"Qi deficiency? Blood deficiency? This is wrong. This should not be reflected on the skin, and may even turn into keratinization."

Li Jianwei agreed with Du Heng's point of view. While introducing, he was amazed, "This patient now not only has skin darkening and keratinization in the folds of his armpits and wrists, but also on his lower abdomen, under both ribs, and on the calf legs.

Keratinized skin is very hard and rough to the touch."

Du Heng followed Li Jianwei to the ward and saw the strange patient Li Jianwei mentioned.

At first glance, apart from being a little lethargic, the young man could not tell that he had any other problems.

Li Jianwei walked to the bed and began to tell Du Heng the same words. At the same time, he also pulled up the patient's sleeves and trouser legs. As he said, the exposed parts had indeed become keratinized.

Du Heng touched it and found that it was grainy and rough, which was completely consistent with the characteristics of skin keratinization. However, the appearance of these locations was a bit unexpected.

In addition to the common folds, areas such as the lower abdomen, under the ribs, and across the legs have also begun to appear. Even the back of the boy's hand has completely different senses from the palm of his hand.

After a pulse examination, the result was consistent with Li Jianwei's, namely a thin and weak pulse.

But this has nothing to do with skin keratinization.

Du Heng frowned slightly and asked the patient, "Do you have any bad feelings in these places, such as pain or itching?"

The young man was very comfortable lying on the hospital bed. He didn't look like he was sick at all. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "I've never had any pain. I just feel itchy sometimes."

"Is the itching serious?"

"It's not serious, it's just a slight itch. It goes away with a little rubbing and scratching."

"After scratching, have you seen any changes? For example, red spots and the like."

"There is no erythema, it's just the starting point of white skin, and there is nothing else."

White skin at the beginning? Just scratch it and it will be fine?

Du Heng himself was a little confused about what the hell the result was.

Judging from the pulse condition, it does not seem to be caused by imbalance of the five internal organs; judging from the results of the inquiry, it does not look like the reaction that fungal skin diseases should have.

Seeing Du Heng frowning, the patient's mother who accompanied him looked worried and quickly took out a thick stack of examination reports.

She didn't know why this older-looking doctor would bring a younger doctor here, but she wanted to find out what was wrong with her son now.

She doesn't care at all whether the doctor who comes is young or not. As long as she takes good care of her son, she doesn't care even if he is a primary school student.

Taking the inspection report from the family, Du Heng began to read page by page.

Only then did Du Heng discover that there were many examination items here, and there were even genetic testing reports. It can be seen that the patients came to see traditional Chinese medicine after the Western medicine did not show the results.

Therefore, these inspection reports in Du Heng's hands are of no use at all. They must be healthy and normal, otherwise it would not be Du Heng's turn to take a look.

Now he is expected to see things from these examination reports that other doctors have ignored and failed to see. Du Heng can only smile because that is unrealistic.

When he looked back at the patient again and looked at the keratinized skin, Du Heng felt a strange feeling in his heart. He seemed to have seen this kind of keratinized skin somewhere.

Where is it?

Du Heng reached out and touched his nose, "When did you discover this?"

The young man looked unconcerned and said casually, "I didn't notice it myself. My mother discovered it when I went home for the New Year."

The young man's mother also quickly continued, "When he came back from vacation, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so I thought about asking him to change his clothes, and I washed them for the Chinese New Year.

But as soon as he changed clothes, I saw these dark and hard skin. I took him to the hospital for examination at that time, but more than two months have passed, and we have transferred to several hospitals and done a lot of things.

The inspections were carried out, but in the end there were no results."

Du Heng's eyes were always fixed on the patient, and his face became weirder the more he looked at it. After the family member finished speaking, Du Heng asked, "Do you give the doctor these reports from the last examination every time you see him?"<

/p>

"Yes, these are all examinations done by big hospitals. I think he can definitely tell what it is."

Du Heng sighed, it seemed like this wasn't the first time this happened.

The doctor hasn't done the examination yet. He first sees the examination results and reports of other doctors, and then he has preconceived notions. If he is good at it, forget it. If he is not confident in himself, or there is a name of a well-known doctor in the industry, then

It’s difficult to make a judgment.

This is why many doctors will not look at the patient’s previous test reports or the reasons for the case. It’s too confusing.

Du Heng took a deep breath and turned to ask the patient's mother, "Has the patient taken a bath during this time?"

The patient's mother shook her head and said, "He is quite averse to taking a bath. I didn't dare to let him take a bath. I thought it was a skin disease and it would be better not to see the water."

Du Heng was helpless.

At the same time, he also remembered where he had seen this patient's condition.

He saw it from his nephew Du Yi, who was playing crazy and not taking a shower. It was very similar to the skin that got chapped, except that the patient's skin was darker and harder.

Du Heng turned to the nurse in charge of the ward and said, "Trouble, go get alcohol and cotton swabs."

The nurse agreed and then left the ward with a hint of doubt.

Li Jianwei looked at Du Heng with the same confusion, and said thoughtfully, "You want to wipe his body with a cotton swab? Do you suspect it's not a skin disease?"

"Yes."

"Impossible, the patient has had blood drawn before, and the blood would be wiped with a cotton swab."

Du Heng smiled, then reached out and touched the keratinized area again, "I'm afraid that a slight wipe with alcohol won't be enough to make it fade."

Li Jianwei was stunned.

Just as he was about to speak, the nurse came in with a tray. Then he saw Du Heng put a little alcohol in front of his face and began to wipe it on his arm.

After wiping it twice, it was true as he said, there was no color change at all.

Li Jianwei felt that Du Heng was finally going to make a mistake this time, but Du Heng picked up the cotton swab, changed his position, and began to wipe the patient's abdomen.

This time, Du Heng spent a relatively long time wiping.

Then, gradually, the originally dark skin on the belly was revealed - flesh color.

After seeing the fading, Du Heng threw the cotton swab into the small jar on the tray, and looked at the patient's family members speechlessly, "See, this is not a skin disease, it's just dirt caused by not bathing for a long time."<

/p>

"Dirt?"

The patient's mother looked at Du Heng in disbelief. She couldn't believe that they spent two months and ten thousand dollars just because her son didn't take a bath?

Du Heng looked at the disbelieving look in the patient's mother's eyes and could only point to the discolored belly again, "See for yourself, the facts are before your eyes."

The patient's mother didn't believe it, but the patient on the bed still looked indifferent, as if he was ill and it had no impact on him at all.

"Pfft."

The nurse behind her couldn't hold it back and laughed softly. She couldn't figure out how lazy a person must be in modern society to develop dirt and horniness. The important thing is that this is a college student.

Li Jianwei glared at the nurse and whispered, "Why are you laughing? Get out quickly."

He was afraid that the nurse's laughter would arouse the resentment and dissatisfaction of the family members. If family members complained, the little nurse would be paralyzed for a while.

But Li Jianwei is obviously overly worried about this.

The patient's mother couldn't care less about the little nurse's smile. She laughed and cried at her son, slapped him twice, and then lay on the bedside and started howling.

Howl what an immoral thing this immoral thing did!

When Li Jianwei saw this situation, he pulled Du Heng, thinking that since everything was fine, he could just leave and ask the doctor below to come and handle the procedures for the half-man.

But Du Heng stood there, stunned and motionless.

Li Jianwei glanced at Du Heng's expression, frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Du Heng nodded and whispered to Li Jianwei, "There's something wrong with this guy. He's too lazy."

After hearing what Du Heng said, Li Jianwei immediately knew what Du Heng was talking about.

Lazy sounds like a derogatory word, but sometimes it is a disease in the eyes of Chinese medicine doctors.

If a person has been lazy since childhood, there are three situations.

The first type is brought from the mother's womb and is due to nature.

The second type is that parents are not well educated and are affected by the family environment.

But the third type is that there are problems with the body, such as Qi deficiency, blood deficiency, dampness, stagnation of liver Qi, etc., which will make people feel weak, unwilling to move, and lazy.

The first two are neither innate factors nor acquired. But the third type must be paid attention to. Especially if this person used to be quite diligent and suddenly becomes lazy, this should be paid more attention to.

Once this situation is allowed to develop freely, it will generally lead to two serious results, either a complete imbalance of the five internal organs, serious physical damage, and premature death.

Either it affects the mind and eventually turns into mental illness.

The most typical example is Wang Shizhen's wife, who was so weak that she couldn't recover even after a breath, and she became mentally ill.
