Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your doctor before starting any diet. Download a tracking app to keep track of your carbohydrate intake. Connect with other people who are following the diet. Prep your meals

Answer: It is a good idea to talk to your doctor before starting any weight-loss program. This is especially important to do if you have a medical condition, such as diabetes or heart disease. Your doctor can tell you if following a low-carb diet is safe for you and they can also advise you about the best type of low-carb diet for your situation.   If you have diabetes, then cutting out carbs altogether might not be safe. Instead, your doctor might advise you to choose healthy carbs, such as whole grains and fruit. If you have high cholesterol, then eating foods that are high in saturated fat and cholesterol may increase your cholesterol even more. Instead, your doctor may advise you to choose lean proteins, such as skinless poultry, low-fat cottage cheese, and egg whites. If you need to stay under a certain number of carbs each day or balance your macros, then using a tracker app can be helpful. Download an app to use on your phone or tablet. Log all of your food into the app each day to keep track of your carbohydrate intake and other macronutrients, such as fat and protein. You can also use an app to plan meals, make grocery lists, and store recipes.  MyFitnessPal is a popular food tracking app that is available for free. If you prefer to write things down, then get a journal and write down everything you eat each day. Use food labels to find the nutritional information. You can also look up the carbohydrates, fat, protein, and calories in a nutrition guidebook or by searching online. Keep yourself on track by joining a network of people who are also following a low-carb diet. You can turn to them with questions about starting or sticking with your diet. Look for online communities for low-carb dieting, such as a Facebook group or sub-Reddit. Join the group and get involved.  Introduce yourself when you join the group and let people know you are just starting the diet. Ask group members for help when you struggle with the diet. For example, if you are craving sweets, ask what other group members have done to overcome these cravings. for the week to stay on track. Planning out your meals for the week and spending a few hours 1 day per week to do meal prep can help to set you up for success all week long. Choose a day when you have a few hours of free time and look up low-carb recipes and meal suggestions. Use this time to put together some or all of your meals for the week.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know when to see your doctor. Change the dressings as directed by your doctor. Take any antibiotics or steroids as prescribed. Massage the wound with a doctor-approved lotion. Wear any pressure garments as directed for severe burns.

Answer: Part of healing fast is being proactive and knowing when you need extra help. Reach out to your doctor if you develop a fever or if your wound begins to emit a foul odor. These can be signs of an infection. You should also seek medical attention if your wound becomes more red, painful, swollen, or is draining large amounts of liquid. It’s especially necessary to seek medical attention if the liquid that’s draining out isn’t clear. If you have a mild burn and self-applied dressings, you can check them every 2 days for soiling. If you have a more severe burn and doctor-applied dressings, then you’ll likely need to remove and replace them every 4-7 days. It’s important to keep your dressings as clean and dry as possible to speed up healing. If your doctor prescribes medications, then they are concerned about the possibility of additional illness or infection. If your burn gets infected, it will set back the healing process. That’s why it’s so important to take the full course of any antibiotics or steroids given to you. For example, your doctor might prescribe a common antibiotic, such as oxacillin, to counteract any infections. Or, they might give you steroid pills or a shot to shorten the total healing time. You’ll want to avoid applying most over-the-counter cosmetics or lotions to your burnt skin. However, your doctor may prescribe you a special lotion or suggest a particular brand that you may use to prevent scarring and lessen the itching. You’ll usually need to apply this lotion to your skin around 4 times a day. Move your fingers in a circular motion when applying the lotion to increase coverage and absorbency. With minor burns, wearing loose garments can prevent further irritation to the healing skin. But, with second- and third-degree burns, the healing process may be sped up by wearing a pressure garment. This garment will even out the pressure against your skin and encourage it to heal smoothly, instead of with bumps. Your physical or occupational therapist may order a special, fitted pressure garment for you.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply topical corticosteroids. Take antihistamines. Ask your dermatologist about phototherapy. Consider psychodermatology. Use immunosuppressants. Take oral antibiotics.

Answer:
Topical corticosteroids can come in a cream, lotion or ointment and are applied when you’re experiencing an eczema flare-up.  This medication can help reduce inflammation and irritation, and relieve the itching.  Hydrocortisone products are available as over-the-counter medications and are often used by people without eczema to reduce the symptoms of insect bites, poison ivy, and allergic reactions on the skin.  They are usually quite mild and may not work for all levels of eczema.  There are many side effects to using topical corticosteroids that should be discussed with your doctor before starting a treatment plan. Do not use steroid creams for too long as overuse of this medication can cause skin irritation and discoloration.  Prescription-strength systemic corticosteroids are also available from your doctor to help reduce inflammation and relieve itching.  Systemic corticosteroids are taken internally, but have more severe side effects than topical options. Antihistamines are over-the-counter allergy medications that can come in pill and liquid form.  Their main purpose is to help reduce the symptoms of allergies like hay fever and are mainly used by people who have seasonal allergies.  But they can also help relieve the itchiness of eczema breakouts. Some antihistamines, like Benadryl, can make you drowsy. This may be helpful if you hare having trouble sleeping due the itchiness of your eczema. Phototherapy is a treatment for eczema (and other skin conditions) using light.  Eczema treatments are usually done with narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) light.  Phototherapy has been known to reduce itchiness and inflammation, increase the production of vitamin D, and can even provide some antibacterial benefits.  Phototherapy is normally used if topical treatments haven’t been helpful, and works on about 60 – 70% of patients who have tried it. Phototherapy can take up to one to two months you experience an improvement in your symptoms. Risks include premature skin aging and predisposition to skin cancer due to UVB exposure. Psychodermatology is the treatment of skin diseases using psychological techniques.  Such techniques include: relaxation, biofeedback, hypnosis and meditation.  Since many skin conditions can be brought on by things like stress, being able to control your mind can actually have a positive impact on your eczema. Counseling may also be helpful for those who feel self-conscious when suffering flare-ups. The intricate details behind what causes eczema are not known.  But what is known is that the person’s immune system appears to be attacking itself, which is what causes the rashes, irritation and inflammation.  In order to stop these symptoms from occurring, one possible method to employ is immunosuppressants, which literally suppress the immune system and its associated reactions. Because an immunosuppressant is causing your immune system not to function at full capacity, there can be some serious negative side effects.  As such, most doctors and patients tend to use this as a last resort option for severe and chronic eczema. The itchiness caused by eczema can eventually lead you to scratch so much that you break the skin.  And unfortunately when you break the skin, you increase your risk of infection.  If one or more sites of eczema on your body have become infected, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics to help clear up the infection. Speak to your doctor about what topical treatments you can use on an infected area before applying anything.
