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.
