Avoid contact with clothing, cosmetics, deodorants, etc. that cause a rash. Washing thoroughly with soap and water may remove chemicals on the skin and is particularly important with materials like cement dust. Oily substances can be removed with rubbing alcohol, or by paint thinner followed with a soap and water rinse to prevent contact dermatitis from the cleaner itself. For rashes caused by poison ivy - Domeboro powder or tablets (available without prescription), hot water, and hydrocortisone cream to achieve relief from itching are recommended. If skin is dry, avoid drying soaps and apply a heavy cream to skin after bathing. Calamine and hydrocortisone may reduce itching." comments@healthcentral.com http://www.healthcentral.com/mhc/top/003220.cfm ****************************************************** Rash, Medicinenet.com:"The word "rash" means an outbreak of red bumps on the body.

It comes and goes quickly, and responds well to frequent diaper changes, airing out, and protective barriers. Irritant rash. This is most conspicuous on the exposed areas, such as the round part of the buttocks. It tends to spare skin folds and creases. It's generally the result of contact with stool enzymes or irritants such as harsh soaps, baby wipes, detergents, or topical medicines."

Symptoms There may be a little redness, but the area may become very sore and red, with red spots, blister and broken skin. Causes The cause of nappy rash is the skin being kept wet along with the chemical irritation of ammonia, produced by stale urine. This has the effect of breaking down the protective barrier normally formed by the skin, causing redness and rawness (inflammation) and allowing germs of various types to attack. The most common infection to complicate the ammonia-like irritation is thrush (candida). In this event, the rash often has clusters or red spots around the margins of the main red area. Other germs (bacteria) can also infect the area." http://www.medinfo.co.uk/conditions/nappyrash.html EM Rash:"The bullseye (EM, or Erythema Migrans) rash is an early symptom of Lyme disease. Lyme disease is caused by the bite of an infected tick. Proper treatment with antibiotics is mandatory. If untreated, Lyme disease may progress to a chronic stage that can be disabling and difficult to cure." http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/frankd/emrash.htm ****************************************************** ****************************************************** If your website is not listed here, we encourage you to submit it: Add Your Website/URL, please note, you do not have to install the nursingtop10.com linking code, to be listed.

After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses." Nurses Station P.O.
