Due to the difficult economic conditions of the family, it is necessary to run meals every day, so their parents do not consider giving them the opportunity to go for medical examination and treatment. On sunny days, the black spots are more prominent, itchy. At times like that, I only know how to take the leaves of the forest to bathe the grandchildren to ease the itch.
