article: You should start by checking for signs of infection. If the area is swollen, releasing pus or blood, or is very tender and painful, you should go immediately to your doctor or local health clinic. Skin cracks are very prone to infection and these infections require professional treatment. If you do not have health insurance (and you live in the US), go to the official listing of clinics for low income individuals. You should be able to find a clinic which will scale your bill to the amount of money you have available. Start treatment of basic cracks by soaking your skin. Sanitize a bowl, bucket, or tub and then fill it with warm (not hot) water. You'll then want to pour in a little apple cider vinegar to help disinfect your skin. Use about 1 cup per gallon of water. Disinfecting will help cut down on chances for the cracks to become infected. Using a clean washcloth, gently rub the affected area. This will remove dead skin cells and allows the products you'll place on your skin to absorb better. Be sure to be gentle and that the washcloth you use is clean. Once you've healed the cracks, you can use more aggressive forms of exfoliating but this should not be done more than once a week. Your skin is sensitive and needs to be treated carefully. Give your skin a final rinse and then apply a layer of moisturizer. You'll want to lock in the moisture that your skin received with the soak, or else you risk drying out your skin even more. We recommend a lanolin product but you'll find other recommendations in the next section. If you have time, such as if you can treat your skin overnight or on a weekend, wet dressings may help heal the skin and can at least provide you with greater comfort. Wet dressings consist of a moist layer of fabric covered by a dry layer. So, for example, let's say your feet are cracked. Wet a pair of socks and then wring them so they don't drip. Put those on and then cover with dry socks. Sleep like this overnight. It is important not to do this if you suspect the cracks are infected, since this can make the infection worse. For treatment during the day, fill the cracks with liquid or gel "bandage" product, or at least with an antibiotic product like Neosporin. You can then cover the area with a protective cotton surgical pad and wrap with gauze. This should reduce pain and speed up the healing process. Now you just have to be patient while the cracks heal. Be sure to keep the affected area clean and covered, to prevent further irritation. If the cracks are on your feet, wear socks which are clean and change them at least once (if not twice) a day until the cracks heal. If the cracks are on your hands, wear gloves when you're outside and for activities like washing dishes.

article: Let the doctor know that you suspect gastritis, and ask him to focus on an abdominal exam. Bring a prepared list of all the symptoms you’ve experience and show it to your doctor. He will look for “alarm symptoms” that suggest you need urgent care. The alarm symptoms you should make sure to tell the doctor about are:  Vomiting blood or bile Black tarry stool (melena) Appetite loss, anorexia, and weight loss (especially of six pounds or more) Anemia (this may cause you to be pale, tired, weak, or dizzy) A bulge you can feel in your abdomen Let the doctor know if you are over 55 years old, as well. Once the sample has been drawn, he will send it to the medical lab for analysis. The lab may run the following tests:  Complete Blood Count (CBC) to check for anemia  Amylase and Lipase to rule out pancreatic disease Liver function test and renal function test to assess for dehydration and for other causes of your symptoms if you’re vomiting Stool guaiac test for occult blood (not visible in the stool)  A urea breath test or stool/blood test to check for the bacteria Helicobacter Pylori " If the doctor is worried about the list of symptoms you've provided, he will likely order an endoscopy for you. He will insert a small camera attached to a long, flexible tube down your throat. The camera will reach far enough down to observe the esophagus, stomach, and part of the small intestine. If you tested negative for H. Pylori, but continue to have symptoms, you may choose to have an elective endoscopy.  You can ask for a sedative during the procedure to help you relax. While you may feel pressure, you won’t feel any pain. The doctor will look for ulcers, erosions, tumors, and other abnormalities. He can also take biopsies to be tested in the lab.

Wait about 2 hours for the dye to dry. Apply extra coatings of dye as needed. Sand the wood lightly with 320-grit sandpaper. Brush dewaxed shellac onto the dye to seal it into the wood. Wait 30 minutes for the shellac to dry."

These dyes are give oak a consistent base color that improves the final stain. All you have to do is stir the dye powder into a glass jar filled with water according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Mix the dye powder in 50% more water than the label recommends, since this thins the dye and prevents the wood from absorbing too much color.  For example, you might mix about 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of dye in 2 cups (470 mL) of hot water. Visit a home improvement store to find a variety of wood dye shades. For example, a honey amber dye works well on red oak, turning it a light brown color. Fill a spray bottle with room temperature water. Move the bottle along the wood as you spray water onto it. You want to lightly moisten it, not saturate it. The water fills the oak’s pores, causing it to dye more evenly.  You can also use a sponge to moisten the wood. While you can stain dry wood, this may lead to dark patches and streaks in the stain. Empty out the spray bottle, then load the thinned dye into it. Bring the nozzle close to the oak as you begin misting the dye onto it. Slowly move the bottle along the oak to cover it in a light, even layer of dye. You can also use clean rags or paper towels to wipe the dye onto the wood. The dye will begin soaking into the wood right away. After you are done misting dye, use clean rags or paper towels to wipe away the remaining dye. Remember to work along the oak's grain. Wiping smooths out the coating and removes excess dye that can make the wood too dark. You will need to wait for the oak to feel dry to the touch. If the dye isn’t dried properly, it may discolor the final stain. The dye may also darken during this time, so waiting can help you get an idea of how much more dye the wood needs. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for drying recommendations. You may need to repeat dyeing 2 or 3 times to get the color you desire. Remember to wait for the wood to dry every time you add another coating of dye. The oak should be a consistent color when you are finished. Each coating of dye deepens the oak’s coloring, so be cautious. Reversing a dark dye job is very difficult and you may need to start over on new wood if this happens. Sand along the wood’s grain, pressing down very lightly to avoid scratching the oak. This scuffs the oak so it is better able to absorb sealant. Wipe off the wood particles with a clean, dry tack cloth when you’re finished.   Use only fine-grit sandpaper. Anything coarser will damage the wood. Make sure you sand the entire area. Any areas that appear dull in light usually haven’t been sanded enough. You will need a can of clear shellac from a home improvement store. Look for the 2 pounds (0.91 kg) variety. Using a paint brush or clean rag, spread the shellac onto the oak, moving along the grain.  The 2 pounds (0.91 kg) label on the can of shellac means that 2 pounds (0.91 kg) of shellac flakes were dissolved in alcohol. You can use sanding sealer or varnish instead of shellac. The shellac should feel dry to the touch. Depending on how well-ventilated your workspace is, drying may take a little longer than this. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended drying time.
