Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use over-the-counter NSAIDs. Receive a cortisone injection. Consider surgery for especially bad cases.

Answer: Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are common, easily-available drugs sold without a prescription. These drugs, including the well-known painkillers ibuprofen and naproxen sodium, ease mild pain as well as reducing inflammation and swelling. For an inflammatory condition like trigger finger, NSAIDs are a perfect "first line of defense", providing quick relief from pain and reducing troublesome symptoms. However, NSAIDs are relatively mild drugs and won't help especially bad cases of trigger finger. Simply increasing the dosage of NSAIDs is ill-advised, as NSAID overdose can damage the liver and kidneys. If your trigger finger is persistent, don't rely on this treatment as a permanent fix. Long-term use of NSAIDs can also put you at risk for ulcers. Talk to your doctor before using them if you have a history of stomach ulcers. Cortisone is a natural hormone released by the body belonging to a class of molecules called steroids (note: these are not the same as the steroids that are sometimes used as illegal athletic aids). Cortisone has potent anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for treating trigger finger and other inflammatory disorders. Talk to your doctor about a cortisone injection if your trigger finger won't subside with rest and over-the-counter medication. Cortisone is given in the form of an injection directly into the affected area - in this case, the tendon sheath. Though this can be done in the doctor's office in a matter of minutes, you may need to return for a second injection if the first provides only partial relief. Finally, cortisone injections aren't as effective for people who have certain medical conditions (like diabetes). If your trigger finger still persists after lengthy rest, NSAID treatment, and multiple cortisone injections, surgery may be necessary. The surgical procedure that fixes trigger finger involves cutting the tendon sheath. When the sheath heals, it's looser and better-able to accommodate the nodule on the tendon. This surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis - in other words, you won't need to spend the night at the hospital. Usually, local, rather than general anesthesia is used for this surgery. This means that your hand will be numbed so that you don't feel any pain, but you'll stay awake.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep your fingernails trimmed short. Scratch or press around the area that is irritated but not on it. Rub the inside of a banana peel on an itchy surface. Use an ice cube or a cool, wet compress. Find a distraction. Pull a very soft cloth gently over the site.

Answer: Short fingernails make it more difficult to scratch. If you prefer to your nails long, wear gloves to avoid scratching, especially at night. The gate control theory of pain suggests that applying pressure and stimulation to another area can distract you from the itch and actually alleviate some of the pain. Snap a rubber band on your wrist when you feel the urge to scratch. Some people press an X into their skin near an itchy spot such as a mosquito bite. These are both examples of the gate control theory of pain at work to stop you from scratching. Compounds in the peel are known to decrease the itch. A melting ice cube on an itchy patch of skin can provide cooling relief. A cold, damp washcloth can also sooth the site. Take a clean washcloth and wet it in cold water. Wring out most of the water, leaving the cloth damp but not dripping. Gently apply the cloth to your itchy spot and allow it to rest there as it provides some relief. Applying a slice of cucumber or a cotton ball soaked in apple cider vinegar also has the same cooling effect. Getting your mind off the itch is sometimes all you need. Mothers of children with eczema well know the benefit of having toys, video games, TV, physical activity, and even tickling as a way to keep their kids from scratching. Squeeze a stress ball instead. If you like working with your fingers, try knitting or crocheting when you feel the urge to scratch. Keeping your hands busy is a good way to prevent scratching. Use a soft clean cloth to gently caress the itchy skin without irritating the site. You can also cover the area with a nonstick bandage instead of a soft cloth.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat a healthy diet. Drink water. Exercise regularly. Keep your skin clean and moisturized. Massage your skin.

Answer:
A well-balanced diet of whole foods, fresh fruits, and plentiful vegetables can do wonders for your skin. A healthy body means healthy skin! In turn, healthy skin is more likely to be free of blemishes, imperfections, uneven complexion issues, and red or dry patches. Eat fruits and vegetables of all colors to ensure you get a rich variety of vitamins and minerals. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin C, which can help make your skin paler. Vitamin C also promotes skin elasticity because it helps the body with collagen production. Consume foods and drinks that are high in antioxidants. This can help fight the signs of aging, including dull, discolored, and wrinkled skin. There is such a thing as too much water, but your skin and body still need to be hydrated for proper health. Drink when you are thirsty, especially if you are exercising. Hydrating your skin should help keep it from becoming dry and flaky, and it may even promote a "glowing" appearance. Cardiovascular exercise is great for your heart and lungs, and it also promotes circulation. Strong circulation is essential for healthy skin. Exercise also reduces stress, which can help alleviate conditions that cause redness (e.g. acne and eczema.) People who suffer from skin conditions like rosacea, psoriasis, or eczema should exercise in cool environments to avoid flare-ups. Moisturize before and after a workout to keep the skin happy. To take care of your skin: wash it daily with a gentle cleanser, exfoliate once or twice a week, and moisturize daily. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, which can leave your skin looking fresher and cleaner. Dirt can often contribute to darker-looking skin. Like exercise, a skin massage can promote healthy circulation. Before bed, take a few moments to massage lotion or aloe vera thoroughly into your skin.
