Problem: Article: The first thing you need to do is sterilize the scissors you will be using to snip off the skin tag. You can do this using a few different methods. The most thorough way is to use an autoclave (sterilization device) but you may not have one readily available and they can be expensive to buy. Cheaper alternatives include thoroughly cleaning the scissors with some rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball, or boiling the scissors in a pot of water for ten minutes. Wash your hands with an anti-bacterial soap and carefully place the sterilized scissors on a clean towel and leave to dry. Avoid touching the sterilized blade from this point on. This will extend the skin tag and give you more space to get the scissors as close to the base of the tag as possible. Before you do this, you can numb the area with a little ice to minimize pain, however removing the skin tag is no more painful than a pinch, so this is probably unnecessary. Position the scissors slowly and carefully to ensure that you will snip the skin tag as close to the base as possible, without cutting the surrounding skin. Once you are in position, snip quickly to minimize pain. It should feel like a quick pinch. Instead of using sterilized scissors, it is possible to use a nail clippers to remove the skin tag instead. The nail clippers may be easier to use if the skin tag is on the back of your neck, or anywhere hard to reach. Just be sure to sterilize the nail clippers using one of the methods outlined above before using. The base of the skin tag will probably bleed a little after cutting, but this is normal. Take care to disinfect the area before covering, as the last thing you want is to develop an infection. Use a little rubbing alcohol or iodine on a cotton ball to do this. Cover the area with a skin-colored band-aid and allow the skin tag at least 24 hours to heal. If any signs of infection should develop, such as swelling, tenderness, redness or oozing around the wound, consult your doctor immediately.
Summary: Sterilize your scissors. Pinch it with tweezers and pull taut. Take your sterilized scissors and snip off the skin tag. Clean the wound and cover with a band-aid.

Problem: Article: To reduce your risk of another miscarriage, you should eat a well balanced diet that contains the four food groups: fruits and vegetables, protein, dairy and grains. Make sure your daily diet consists of five portions of fresh or frozen fruit, six ounces or less of protein like meat, fish, eggs, soya, or tofu, three to four servings of fresh or frozen vegetables, six to eight servings of grains like bread, rice, pasta, and breakfast cereals, and two to three servings of dairy like yogurt and hard cheeses. It is also important that you maintain a healthy weight for your age and body type. Avoid being underweight or overweight. You can calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) using an online BMI calculator and determine how many calories per a day you should be consuming to maintain a healthy weight. When you are recovering from a miscarriage, it is important that you avoid intense exercise and focus on mild activity, like walking, yoga or meditation. Maintaining a daily exercise routine will keep you feeling healthy and energized. It can also ensure your body is at its best and ready to conceive again. Doing gentle exercise like yoga can also help you reduce any stress or anxiety you may be experiencing due to the miscarriage. Managing your stress is essential to remaining healthy and ready for pregnancy. Maintaining a well balanced diet and a healthy weight through exercise will provide your body with many essential nutrients and minerals. But prenatal vitamins and supplements like folic acid have been shown to reduce the risk of a miscarriage and having a baby that is premature or small for its gestational age. Talk to your doctor about taking folic acid supplements to help you recover from the miscarriage. Folic acid supplements can help to reduce the risk of neural tube defects like spina bifida, where your baby's spinal cord does not develop normally. Once you become pregnant, you will be prescribed folic acid supplements free of charge. Research has shown that drinking, smoking, and caffeine consumption can increase your risk of a miscarriage. Limit or cut out alcohol from your diet. Women who drink every day and or more than 14 units a week have a higher risk of miscarriage. Stick to one to two units of alcohol a week or stop drinking completely while you try to conceive. If your partner is a heavy drinker, this could reduce the quantity and quality of his sperm. Be safe and cut down on smoking or stop smoking while you try to conceive. Pregnant women are told to limit their caffeine intake to 200mg a day, or two mugs of coffee. Keep in mind caffeine can also be found in green tea, energy drinks, and some soft drinks. There may also be caffeine in certain cold and flu remedies and in chocolate. Try to cut down on caffeine, especially when you are trying to conceive. Unless your doctor recommends certain medications to treat an infection or other medical issue, you should avoid all medications and drugs when you are trying to get pregnant. Avoid over the counter medications, as well as herbal remedies. Herbal remedies are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so you should always check with your doctor before you take any herbal remedies or medications. If you are taking antibiotics for an infection, wait until you have completed the antibiotic course and the infection has cleared up to try to conceive. If you are taking medication for an ectopic pregnancy, wait three months after methotrexate treatment to try to get pregnant. If you are being treated for an illness or infection, wait until you have finished the medication course before you try to conceive.
Summary: Maintain a well balanced diet and a healthy weight. Exercise daily, but avoid strenuous activity. Take daily prenatal vitamins and folic acid supplements. Cut down on alcohol, caffeine and smoking. Avoid all medications and drugs, unless necessary.

Problem: Article: Though you can leave the plant in the same pot for many years, as long as you are not overwatering it, changing out the soil every two to four years will give you a chance to inspect the roots for any damage or rot. Additionally, giving the plant some fresh dry soil will make sure the plant continues to flourish. If you notice that a Jade plant you've had for many years is not doing well anymore, replanting it may help it spring back. If your plant is dusty, you can use a soft cloth to gently remove dust. Alternatively, if it is a rainy day, it is OK to place the plant outside, which will help rinse off the dust. Make sure, though, that if the leaves get wet, they are able to dry out completely. A plant with water left on the leaves may rot or grow mildew. It is not a common problem, but Jade plants can become infested with bugs. If you notice a problem with small mealybugs on your plant, use a bit of rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to gently wipe down the leaves of your plant. When looking for bugs, look for small, fluffy, white deposits on the leaves. These are a sign that there are bugs. Additionally, you can use a magnifying glass to identify red spiders, which are too small to see with the naked eye. Avoid using an insecticidal soap on your plant as this may damage the leaves.
Summary:
Change the soil every two to four years. Wipe down leaves to remove dust. Take care of any bug infestations.
