INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Rinse away any dirt and debris that may be left on the skin, using a scrubber if necessary to make sure it is entirely clean. Place a zucchini on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into discs that are each about 12 inch (2.55.1cm) wide. Discard the two ends of each zucchini. Because they have such high moisture content, it's a good idea to salt the zucchini rounds to draw out some of the moisture. This will keep the final dish nice and crunchy. Lay the zucchini rounds onto a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle them with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes. Use a paper towel to wipe the moisture from each piece. Beat the egg and have it ready in a shallow bowl. Melt the butter and mix it with the bread crumbs into a separate bowl. Have your baking sheet ready nearby, so you can transfer the breaded rounds directly to it. Slice by slice, dip the zucchini pieces first in the beaten egg, then in the bread crumb bowl. Each side of the slices should be well coated in bread crumbs. Place the coated pieces in a single layer in the baking dish. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the zucchini for 20 minutes, or until the breading is deep golden brown. Remove the dish from the oven. They're delicious with marinara sauce or balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

SUMMARY: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Wash the zucchini. Cut the zucchini. Salt the zucchini. Set up the breading station. Bread the zucchini. Bake the zucchini. Serve the crunchy zucchini rounds.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Face washes and topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, or resorcinol acid are all effective acne-fighters and are available over-the-counter. You may find products targeted specifically at treating body acne, which may be more effective than products meant to be used on your face. Just make sure you don't forget and use the body product on the delicate skin of your face or the front of your neck. Retinoid creams can help to unclog your pores and eliminate acne on your neck, but you will need to get a prescription from your doctor or dermatologist. Your doctor may prescribe a prescription-strength topical antibiotic, such as clindamycin, to apply to your neck, which kills acne-causing bacteria. It may also reduce redness. You will need to apply it twice daily and combine it with benzoyl peroxide, as this prevents the bacteria from becoming immune to the antibiotic. Oral contraceptives can help to reduce acne in some women, but only if the acne is related to shifts in your hormones. Keep in mind that oral contraceptives have side effects and they should not be used if you are planning to become pregnant. If your dermatologist determines that the acne on the back of your neck is a nodular or cystic lesion, your doctor may decide to inject the lesion directly with a steroid. This can quickly reduce swelling and heal the acne. It may also reduce scarring. Side effects of this treatment include thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity to light, and may temporarily case the fat under your skin to atrophy, giving the area a "sunken" appearance. Isotretinoin is a strong medicine that should only be used if other methods of controlling acne fail to work. Isotretinoin can clear up severe acne in a couple of months, but it also has some severe risks including: Ulcerative colitis Liver damage Inflammatory bowel disease Depression Bone changes Severe birth defects Laser treatments can also help to get rid of acne by reducing the size of oil glands and making them less active as well. Some forms of laser therapy also use topical medicine to make the laser more effective. Keep in mind that you will need multiple treatments in order for laser therapy to work.
Summary:
Try over-the-counter treatments. Ask about retinoid creams. Discuss the use of antibiotics. Talk to your doctor about oral contraceptive pills if you are a woman. Consider steroid injections for cystic acne. Consider isotretinoin for severe acne. Look into laser treatments for acne.
