Your doctor will examine your skin for wheals and flare to determine which substances you are allergic to. They will have the training necessary to determine when your skin is irritated and when you are having an allergic reaction due to the substance. If you have very large wheals due to an allergen, you may have a high level of sensitivity to a substance or food. Your doctor will let you know which substances you tested positive for in terms of an allergy. It is possible for an allergy test to be inaccurate the first time around, causing a false positive or a false negative. If you want to be sure you are allergic to certain substances, you may ask your doctor to administer another round of skin tests. Usually if you test positive for an allergy to a substance more than once, it means you are allergic to it. Once you determine what substances you are allergic to, you should do your best to avoid interacting with them. This may mean cutting certain foods out of your diet or switching your skin care products so you do not expose your skin to allergens. Your doctor should tell you how severe your allergies are to certain substances so you do not put your health at risk. For example, if you have a mild allergy to cats, your doctor may recommend you stay away from cats and take allergy medication before you interact with cats. Or if you have a severe allergy to peanuts, your doctor may suggest you avoid eating peanuts and confirm foods do not have peanuts before you eat them. For some allergens, you may have a very minor reaction, such as a rash or skin irritation. But if you continue to expose yourself to the allergen, your reactions may get worse over time. Try to avoid being around any allergens so you stay healthy.

summary: Allow your doctor to interpret the results of the test. Get a second test done if you want to be sure of your allergies. Adjust your diet or lifestyle to avoid contact with allergens.

One of the most obvious signs of pain is limping. Limping occurs when it hurts to put weight on a leg. If a leg is causing pain, they are less likely to use it, and sometimes may rely on the other three legs. Dogs in pain will also typically move around less. Aside from limping, you may see other mobility changes. For example, your dog may have trouble getting up or down. It might also move around more slowly than usual, or show a reluctance to do certain activities. Hesitance to go up or down stairs, run, or jump can be a sign of pain. Note the position that your dog holds its head or tail. Any change from normal posture, such as a hanging or tucked tail in a dog that normally has an active tail, can be evidence of pain. If your dog is holding a leg differently than it normally does, it could be a sign that it is in pain. Pain may also cause your dog to stand with its back arched or to be very stiff when standing or moving. If your dog is in pain, you may see an increase in their respiratory rate or heavy panting. A dog that pants persistently, especially in cool weather, may be in pain. Your dog's eyes can tell you a lot about any pain it might be experiencing. If there is pain in the eye area, you may see squinting, redness, cloudiness, or a discharge. Your dog also may be rubbing at the area that hurts. If your dog rubs around its eyes frequently, this could be a sign of discomfort in this area. The eyes can also give you a clue about pain in other areas. Squinting can be a sign of pain in the eye area, but some dogs will also squint when they are experiencing pain elsewhere. Dilated pupils can also be a sign that your dog is in pain.

summary: Watch for limping. Keep an eye out for other mobility issues. Observe changes in posture. Take note of your dog's breathing. Check your dog's eyes.

Making your own sugar wax is simple but yet a true art. Get your things together and become self-reliant. 2 cups (400 g) white sugar 1/4 cup (30 mL) lemon juice, orange juice (squeezed), or vinegar 1/4 cup (180 mL) water Waxing strips (from the store or a piece of cotton fabric/t-shirt) Use a large stainless steel pan. If you use an old, decaying pan, some of it may end up swimming in your wax. Get them to a boil and reduce to medium. Stir occasionally. Watch the pot! Undercooking is reparable; overcooking is not. If it starts boiling again, lower the heat. The wax should slowly turn from translucent to a honey brown. When you reach this point, take it off the heat immediately. This part is a true science; it can take anywhere from 6-20 minutes. Take a butter knife and see how thick it is (don't touch it!). If it seems to thickly move and stick as it goes, it's ready. Try dropping it in a glass of water. If it immediately forms a bead and doesn't trail, you're good. If it's runny and not at all wax-like, pitch it in the trash (not the sink) and start over. ...But not too much. Let it cool to the point where it's hot but doesn't burn you. You may have to learn this the hard way. If it cools too much, it will lose its stick. However, it can be reheated. If you've poured it into a microwaveable container, nuke it till it's malleable again. You should start with a clean base. Apply baby/talcum powder to the area. Make sure every last bit is dry! As you go, you may need to reheat your wax or apply more powder. Apply more powder if you experience more pain or start to sweat. The level of pain depends on you. For some women, it's not a problem. Don't let this deter you. This can be done with a butter knife. If it's too hot, wait a bit. If it's too cold, it won't tear off the hair 100% and will need to be reheated. Apply in the direction of the hair. Try to have about 1/4 - 1/2 an inch (.63 - 1.2 cm) before you go about waxing; the concoction needs something to adhere to; however, too long and it makes things difficult. Place a mirror between your legs to get a good look at your undersides. Start nearest your navel. Rub the strips into the wax a bit to ensure a clean removal. You can use waxing strips from the store or cut up an old cotton t-shirt. Sugar wax is water-soluble and your strips can be used more than once, if cleaned immediately and thoroughly. Cut your strips in 1-2 in (2.5-5 cm) strips. The smaller ones can be used for clean-up or hard to reach places. Do one or two at a time to keep it manageable. The last thing you want is a bunch of cotton strips stuck down there. Leave the strip on the area for around 30 seconds, depending on its size. Rip it off (quickly!) in the opposite direction of hair growth. The quicker the better; you'll experience less pain if you go faster. Repeat this until all the hair is gone. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to apply an oil or lotion to calm the area. Use tweezers to grab any strays. Of course, clean up any mess you've made, too! Wax can get a bit difficult to deal with when hardened and the sugar may attract ants if left out for an extended period of time.
summary: Gather your materials. Combine the ingredients in a saucepan over high heat. Pour into a clean container when brown. Let it cool. Prime your skin. Apply the wax. Place a strip on the covered area and let dry. Remove quickly. Clean the area when completed.
