Contact dermatitis is a skin reaction to something that your skin has been in contact with. This means the distribution of the rash/reaction will be where your skin was in direct contact with the triggering substance or object. For instance, it may be where your skin brushed up against poison ivy, or where a certain triggering metal from a piece of jewelry was in contact with your skin. Signs and symptoms to be on the lookout for include: Reddening of the skin Bumps on the skin (most often red in color) Dry, cracked, or scaly skin Swelling over the affected area Painful, tender skin over the affected area Sometimes a burning sensation of the skin over the affected area Sometimes blisters that may ooze fluid and subsequently crust over (in more severe cases) There are two types of contact dermatitis, irritant and allergic, plus a number of different conditions that may resemble contact dermatitis. Irritant dermatitis is caused by something that physically, mechanically, or chemically, which disrupts the skin barrier. Allergic dermatitis is caused by something that triggers an auto-immune reaction. Allergic reactions do not show up immediately after exposure it may be 12 to 48 hours before you react, or it may take repeated exposures (sometimes over a period of years) for a rash to appear. There are many things that can cause a reaction, so it may be difficult at first to figure out what is causing the rash. If you look at the specific area of skin that is affected, you may be able to trace back the cause of your contact dermatitis. Think about objects or substances that have been in contact with the affected area of your body recently, that are unusual or "outside the norm" for you. It is possible that any of these things could be the offending agent. Note that contact dermatitis often gets worse with time that is, the more times you are exposed to the offending substance, the worse your rash/reaction will be. This is because it is an "adaptive immune response," meaning that your immune system stores the "memory" of the triggering agent and reacts more aggressively each time you are exposed to the triggering agent. It is especially important to see your doctor if the rash becomes very painful and uncomfortable, interfering with your daily routine and/or with your ability to sleep. Also, if the rash affects your face or genitals it is key to see a physician for evaluation and treatment. Finally, if your rash shows no improvement after two to three weeks following exposure to the triggering agent, seek medical help by booking an appointment with your family doctor.

summary: Recognize the signs and symptoms of contact dermatitis. Familiarize yourself with the different causes of contact dermatitis. Think back to recent exposures when attempting to diagnose the cause. See your doctor to confirm the diagnosis of contact dermatitis, and to receive treatment as needed.

There are not established legal requirements for being a surrogate, but most agencies have their own guidelines. In general, a woman must be between 21 and 45 years old, be in good physical health, have a stable family life, and have had a previous pregnancy that did not result in any complications in order to be considered a good candidate. Before you become pregnant, you should see your doctor to make sure that you are healthy enough. Your doctor may perform a physical exam, perform blood tests, and ask you about your personal and family history. If you have any chronic medical conditions or history that cause you to develop complications during pregnancy, your doctor will talk to you about the risks involved and what you can do to reduce them. If you are on birth control, be sure to ask your doctor how long you need to stop the medication before you try to become pregnant. You may need to get vaccinated for certain diseases that could be dangerous to an unborn child, including chickenpox and rubella. You should also consider getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV and chlamydia. These diseases can be harmful to an unborn baby, and may also result in pregnancy complications or fertility issues. If you are working with a surrogacy agency, these tests will likely be required. The intended parents may also be required to undergo certain screenings, including tests for diseases that may be transmitted to you or to the child during pregnancy, as well as psychological and genetic screenings. If you are using a surrogacy agency, you will be required to undergo a psychological evaluation to ensure that you do not have any underlying desire to keep the child. Even if you aren't required to talk to someone about these issues, it is a good idea to do so for your own emotional well-being. It is very important that you understand how difficult it might be for you to part with a child that you carried for nine months. Surrogacy is a controversial issue because some people do not believe that a surrogate mother can truly give informed consent to give the baby up before it is born. In order to provide the most benefit to the unborn child, you should start taking prenatal vitamins that contain folic acid before you start trying to get pregnant. Folic acid is most important to a fetus during the first few weeks of development, so if you wait until you know you are pregnant to start taking the supplements, you may have already missed the most crucial window.

summary: Find out if you are a good candidate for surrogacy. Have a preconception checkup. Have a psychological screening. Start taking prenatal vitamins.

Select a jar and fill it with one part half-and-half and one part creamer. How much you add depends on the size of the jar. Make sure to leave an inch of headspace at the top. For precise measurements, use a measuring cup. Measure out the cocoa and espresso powder. Add that to your half-and-half and creamer mixture. Close the lid tightly. Then, shake the jar for a few seconds. Keep shaking until everything is mixed evenly and the creamer is all the same color. You should let the creamer sit in the fridge for at least an hour before using it. It will last about as long as the expiration date of the milk and half-and-half. It's a good idea to write the approximate expiration date on the top of the mason jar with sharpie.
summary: Add equal parts half-and-half and creamer to a jar. Add your flavors. Shake to mix. Chill before using.
