Examine your raw skin and the affected area around it for a red, inflamed, or itchy rash. These marks scattered across your skin can indicate a bacterial or yeast infection. If you suspect a bacterial or yeast infection, see your doctor, who can diagnose the problem. They may suggest better hygiene to clear up the area and prevent future outbreaks. For more severe cases, the doctor will prescribe a prescription medication to soothe and heal the area. If you are taking antibiotics, this may cause a yeast infection that leads to raw skin. Notice if the areas of your skin that are raw are on your thighs, groin, underarms or nipples. These may be the result of friction from wearing tight clothing, shoes, or skin rubbing on skin. Soothe these areas with a thin layer of protective salve. This can also prevent future raw skin from friction. Review any products that touch your skin including your skincare, detergents, or topical medications. Gradually remove individual products from your routine until you figure out which one is causing the raw skin. Discontinue use of the product to see if your skin heals or calms down. See if your raw skin is on an area exposed to or touched by potential allergens such as plants, detergents, food, or animals. This can indicate an allergic reaction that may heal by discontinuing use or avoiding the allergen. Taking an oral over-the-counter antihistamine may relieve pain and inflammation and promote healing. An allergic rash can happen in conjunction with raw skin caused by irritants. Intertrigo is a rash that forms between folds of skin. Examine your raw skin for mirroring on either side, and notice if the skin also appears moist, thin, or like it has lost several layers, all of which can indicate intertrigo. Keep the area dry by exposing it to air or dabbing a towel on it to promote healing. Intertrigo rashes can present on parts of the body exposed to heat or moisture. You should stay cool and avoid sun exposure to prevent further irritation. Check your raw skin for scales or rough patches. If the raw skin is greasy skin and has yellowish scales, you may have seborrheic dermatitis. This may also be atopic dermatitis (eczema) in rare cases. See your doctor for a definitive diagnosis. Your doctor can suggest the most appropriate treatment, such as light therapy or antifungal medication, to soothe and heal your raw skin. This type of raw skin generally appears on the scalp, face, upper chest, and back. Avoid using petroleum jelly if you have seborrheic dermatitis, as it can worsen the condition. Stress can affect the body's immune system, which can create skin issues like acne and eczema.Reduce your stress level by eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. You can also make time for things you enjoy and participate in calming activities like yoga.

Candidates who are given an offer of employment will typically be required to move to Washington, DC, often with only a few weeks' notice. Candidates are permitted to decline only one job offer. If the candidate declines a second job offer or cannot meet the training requirements a second time, his name is removed from the hiring register. Certain prior obligations, such as overseas deployment in the military, are permitted as reasonable eligibility for job appointment deferment. However, deferments are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and are rarely granted, even for highly-qualified candidates. For this reason, anyone wishing to work for the Department of State should be prepared to relocate for training and assignment on short notice. All new Foreign Service Officers are required to complete the A-100 course, a six-week training and orientation program. During that time FSOs receive enhanced skills training to meet the needs of their Foreign Service appointment. The specialized training a new FSO receives is determined by that officer's work assignment. FSOs who do not speak a foreign language may be required to attend an additional six to nine months of foreign language training, depending on the officer's work assignment. The overall training process for new officers can take up to one year before the officer is assigned to his overseas post.
