Tips to combat mild to moderate acne breakouts
1. Wash face twice a day with cleanser that contains salicylic acid to
unclog the pores.
2. Rub affected area with benzoyl-peroxide treatment eliminate bacteria
and reduce inflammation.
3. See Parkview if acne fails to improve. Prescription treatment offers
more potent ingredients like retinoids to unclug pores and oral
antibiotics to reduce inflammation.
4. Use a moisturizer that is noncomedofgenic, or doesn't clog pores,
include sun protection. Some ingredients in acne medications may
increase a person sensitivity to the sun.
5. For body acne, wear loose-fitting clothing of cotton or a
moisture-wicking fabric. Tight Spandex and Lycra can exacerbate
clogged pores. Shower right after workouts.

What works for mosquito bites:
1. Ice
2. Anti-itching lotions. Creams containing 1% hydrocortisone reduce
inflammation. Products that contain camphor and menthol, such as
Sama, also help. To boost the effect, store the lotions in the
refrigerator. (note: Calamine lotion dries out the affected area and
therefore is not recommended.
3. Benadryl
4. Therapick
5. Toothpaste. It helps but only if it contains menthol.
