INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your dark spots persist for several months and home solutions are ineffective, consider seeking a medical solution. Call your primary care doctor and ask them to recommend a dermatologist. You can also find a dermatologist by using the search tool on the website of the American Academy of Dermatology: https://www.aad.org/find-a-derm Call your insurance provider to make sure any dermatological care you’ll need is covered. Ask them if specialist care needs prior approval and if they can provide you with in-network care providers. Tell your dermatologist about your shaving practices, skincare routine, and any products you use. If your underarms are affected, ask the dermatologist about switching your antiperspirant or deodorant. You should also be prepared to discuss your diet, sun exposure and sunscreen use, and any over the counter whitening products you’ve used. Even if you’re sure that your dark spots are the result of shaving, you should work with your doctor and dermatologist to rule out other causes. Getting a complete blood count and discussing your patient history will help your dermatologist make an accurate diagnosis.  Common causes of dark spots include ingrown hairs, minor and chronic bacterial infections, and hormonal and dietary imbalances. Your dermatologist will help you understand the best steps to take, whether it’s switching up your shaving routine or changing your diet. Be sure to discuss any existing medical conditions, as they’ll help your dermatologist choose the best course of action. Your dermatologist might prescribe a cream containing either hydroquinone, mequinol, or a retinoid. The type of prescription and its concentration will depend on your skin type. These medications are often classified by as cosmetic, so they may not be covered and can be very expensive. Ask your dermatologist about generic options and confirm your coverage with your insurer to avoid overpaying. Some over the counter treatments contain hydroquinone or retinol, but you should only use them after talking to your doctor or dermatologist. In particular, you should avoid over the counter medications that contain a concentration of hydroquinone higher than 2 percent. Non-prescription, high-concentration hydroquinones are associated with a number of adverse side effects.

SUMMARY: Get a referral to a dermatologist from your primary doctor. Discuss your skincare routines with your dermatologist. Rule out other medical causes. Ask your dermatologist about a depigmentation prescription. Avoid high-concentration over the counter medications.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Observe the wasps over a period of time to see if where they go into the ground. If the nest has too many entrances and exits, you may need to call an exterminator to remove it. Use any generic hand soap or dishwashing soap mixed with water. This process will kill bees currently inside the nest. Push the bowl a couple inches into the ground. Make sure that it is completely sealed. Remove the bowl carefully. The wasps should have either died from the soapy water or moved to another location because of lack of food.

SUMMARY: Identify all entrances and exits to an underground nest. Pour soapy water into the entrance of the nest. Put a large glass bowl over the entrance to the nest immediately afterward. Wait a few weeks.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take the fabric and fold it over the sides of the headliner. Use a pair of scissors to cut off the excess fabric. Leave a little bit so you can wrap it over the edge and attach it so the material is more secure on the panel.  Do another round of smoothing with your hands to get the material as flat and even as possible. Try to match the overlapping of the original headliner fabric, if possible. Spray the adhesive onto the edge of the panel and the 1 inch (2.5 cm) of fabric that’s left after you trimmed the material. Fold the fabric so it wraps over the side of the panel. Use your hands to smooth it out.  Don’t pull or stretch the fabric or it can form air pockets between the fabric and the board. The folded bit of fabric will allow the material to stay better attached to the board. Use a utility knife or razor blade to trim the fabric covering the holes where the accessories, such as a light or a mirror, were inserted. Cut the fabric so it’s flush against the edge and there isn’t any excess material hanging over the side. Trim any of the holes in the headliner board that are used to insert accessories so you can install it properly. Turn the panel and rotate it so you can fit it back inside the vehicle with the fabric side facing out. Move any trim or accessories that may be in the way so you can replace the panel back to its original position. Be careful not to bend or scrape the headliner. Replace the visors, lights, trim panels, grab handles, and any other accessories that you removed in order to pull out the panel. Make sure the screws or bolts are tight and secure so the new headliner is held firmly. The new headliner will be held secure by the accessories and trim.

SUMMARY:
Cut the headliner fabric so it hangs 1 inch (2.5 cm) over the edge. Glue the edges to the other side of the panel. Remove the fabric covering the holes for the accessories. Insert the panel into the vehicle. Reinstall the trim and accessories.
