Answer
Soothe and heal the sores on your skin for more comfort and fewer infections. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may help you prevent or treat skin ulcers:
Seek support from C
Take 1,000 mg of vitamin C every day to speed healing
Go for the protein
Help prevent and heal skin ulcers by eating a diet high in protein and adequate in calories
Think zinc
Under the supervision of a doctor, take at least 50 mg of a zinc supplement, plus 1 to 3 mg of copper, each day to facilitate tissue growth
Try on natural topicals
Use ointments containing zinc, aloe, or gotu kola extract to help heal skin ulcers
Get a checkup
Visit your healthcare provider to find out if your skin ulcers are caused by a treatable medical condition
These recommendations are not comprehensive and are not intended to replace the advice of your doctor or pharmacist. Continue reading the full skin ulcers article for more in-depth, fully-referenced information on medicines, vitamins, herbs, and dietary and lifestyle changes that may be helpful.
Skin ulcers are open sores that are often accompanied by the sloughing-off of inflamed tissue.
Skin ulcers can be caused by a variety of events, such as trauma, exposure to heat or cold, problems with blood circulation, or irritation from exposure to corrosive material. Pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus ulcers or bedsores, are skin ulcers that develop on areas of the body where the blood supply has been reduced because of prolonged pressure; these may occur in people confined to bed or a chair, or in those who must wear a hard brace or plaster cast. Skin ulcers may become infected, with serious health consequences. Other health conditions that can cause skin ulcers include mouth ulcers (canker sores), chronic venous insufficiency, diabetes, infection, and peripheral vascular disease.

$6.50/ plus commission for a part-time job ?
Kee
so am still in high school. senior.'09 yay!!..lol sorry...and i been offered this job...but is that good. its working with jewelry at a dept. store. to sell it. is that good..or bad ?
Answer
That's pretty low, but lots of people in high school and college get paid minimum wage. Working at a common place like that will pay you low (other examples would be common clothing stores and the job is horrible). What you should do is get a job where you earn lots of tips-waitress, bartender, beverage cart person on a golf course-you might not get paid super well (they usually get paid about $2.50 an hour), but you earn lots of tips and probably bring home around at least $80 in tips every night, depending on where you're working. You'll make more than your friends that way. Also, you could try more upscale places, like really nice department stores (Nordstrom) or a skin care/make-up place. I just got a job at an environmentally friendly skin care place and make more than most people my age probably, they're willing to hire people if you have good people skills and are ready to learn. You could even do a place like Clinique or Revlon, the little places in department stores...you'd also learn a lot about skin care and probably get a wonderful discount. Good luck! :)

homeopathic dog care?

Answer
If your dog is having skin problems you can try changing his dog food to something holistic. Stay away from fillers like corn, they cause a lot of skin and coat problems. Pet People and Pet Supplies Plus have a wide variety of holistic foods. They cost more, but your dog will eat much less because the food doesn't contain fillers. Before I switched to a holistic food, my dogs went through a 40 lb bag in 2 weeks, now they go through a 30 lb bag in 4 weeks. They're healthier than ever! They eat Pinnacle which has 4 different flavors so you're supposed to rotate them. My dogs love it and because all 4 blends have the same base formula, no tummy aches when switching flavors.
You could also try dinovite. www.dinovite.com - I've heard a LOT of great things about this product, you just sprinkle it on the dogs food and it helps with skin, coat and digestive problems etc. I was going to try this, but the switch in dog food did the trick. My dogs shed less, the puppy went from runny poop 8 times a day (many times on the carpet) to solid poop 2 to 3 times a day (outside). Plus, holistic foods are usually all stages of life foods, meaning any dog can eat it, puppy to senior, even working dogs. If you have a toy dog, you might want to check with your vet because some of these foods can make them gain weight if you don't know what you're doing. My dogs are all between 30 and 50 lbs and they're all in the best shape of their lives.
Innova is another good brand, so is Canidae. My dogs didn't do so well on Canidae and one of them didn't like the flavor of Innova, but it's supposed to be the most superior product.
I get my Pinnacle for $45 to $50 a bag depending on the flavor, and like I said it lasts an entire month sp I'm actually spending far less then I was with Iams because they eat half the food they needed to before.

MerryBerry
I am starting my own skin care company and I was wondering if any of you might know what the average discount in percentage is for selling products to stores when they buy wholesale/bulk. Plus if you have any tips for how to work with beauty supply stores, all help is appreciated. Thank you!
Answer
Most of them give a 10% discount.. Otherwise, when its more, you have to buy more than say $50 and you'll get 25% off on the products you buy..

How do I get rid of mosquito bites fast?
Jenna Turn
Ok so I just got in from weeding in the garden and realized I had a lot of mosquito bites. I counted and there is 50 plus bites on just my legs. How do I get rid of them fast? Btw I don't have any bananas so I can't use the banana method :( please help!!! And please no medication creams or anything like that. Sometype of home remedy please!!!!
Answer
Treating the Mosquito Bite
Mosquito bite treatment starts with cleaning the area and addressing the reaction as soon as you realize you've been bitten. A simple mild soap and warm water wash is the first place to start; pat dry with a soft towel and resist the urge to rub. Scratching and rubbing will actually prolong the mosquito bite itch instead of offering (temporary) relief. You also run the risk of introducing dirt and bacteria into the open area and developing an infection.
If the urge to scratch is too overwhelming (particularly if you have been bitten several times or have a more extreme reaction), there are several mosquito bite remedies from your medicine cabinet - and your pantry - to ease the annoyance.
To make your own mosquito bite home remedy, use two parts baking soda to one part water. Mix together until it reaches the consistency of a sticky paste and apply directly onto the bite. As it dries, it will alleviate the sting and bring some relief to the itching and swelling. This is a great treatment for those with sensitive skin and for small children because the ingredients are mild and won't cause irritation. Just wash it off after the urge to scratch has gone away (remember - soap, water, and pat dry) and reapply if the symptoms flare up again.
For a quick fix - particularly when you're out of the house and unable to reach a first aid kit or get to the kitchen - ice wrapped in a towel or an ice pack will ease a mosquito bite's swelling. Even a cold can of soda or bottled water can do in a pinch.
Aloe Vera gel is nature's perfect gift for treating mosquito bites. The coolness eases symptoms and forms a protective layer after application to reduce the risk of infection. Reapplication will be necessary. It's good to do another soap and water wash every few hours.
From the medicine cabinet, calamine lotion or a topical anesthetic (containing pramoxine) are effective mosquito bite treatments. One percent hydro-cortisone cream alleviates itching, as well. If applications to the surface of the skin don't take care of the symptoms immediately, try taking an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen or naproxen. This will help to reduce the swelling of the bites. For more severe cases, an antihistamine such as Benedryl will also help, but check with your doctor before administering the medication for this reason.
If the mosquito bite does not respond to topical treatments and the skin around the area becomes warm, red and swollen, the bite may be infected. Call a medical practitioner in this case; a stronger treatment may be necessary.
Unfortunately, beyond the irritation of bites, mosquitoes also carry diseases, picking up and passing them from person to person. West Nile, encephalitis, and others have been reported around the United States. If you begin to experience headaches, fever, vomiting, chills, or muscle aches, you may have contracted something more than a bump from that mosquito bite. Contact your physician immediately if any of these symptoms develop.
