Hobbies, favorite movies, books:

• “I enjoy traveling and planning routes independently, fulfilling childhood dreams, and visiting places associated with favorite books and films. In my free time, I grow cyclamens, listen to French musicals, and explore the history of the Far East. My favorite literature includes The Cycle of the Invisible by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt and the poetry of Kahlil Gibran.”

Doctor's advice:

• “Daily hygiene should become an independent skill for a child, under attentive parental supervision. Physiological characteristics are normal in childhood, and treatment is required only when a condition goes beyond these limits. A completed course of treatment and follow-up examination by a doctor are key to safety, effectiveness, and prevention of recurrence.”
