Clean skin is healthy skin. If you have dry skin, use lotions and moisturizers frequently. Also, when bathing, use soaps suited to your skin type and warm water. Very hot water tends to dry out the skin even more. Keep an insect repellant available to help prevent insect bites.
Bites can sometimes cause skin infections and rashes.
If a skin infection does occur, consult a doctor to avoid the possibility of serious problems. Stay away from three-leaf plants that look like poison ivy or poison oak. Many people are very sensitive to the plants and break out in a severe rash. Sunburns occur when the skin is exposed to too much ultraviolet light, and can be very painful and harmful to the skin.
