Q: Unlike bacterial infections, which take place in open, dry places on the body, fungi prefer warm, damp, dark areas of skin. Fungal skin infections are nearly as common as bacterial infections, and are more likely to cause symptoms of itching or sloughing skin. The most common forms of infection include: Athlete's foot occurs exclusively on the feet. Athlete's foot results in painfully itchy, cracked, and blistered skin on the feet. Ringworm, not caused by a worm, can occur anywhere on the body. Ringworm produces one or more small, round, itchy marks, often less than 12 inch (1.3cm) in diameter. Jock itch occurs in the groin and on the buttocks. As the name suggests, jock itch is itchy and can cause a ring-shaped rash, similar to ringworm. Like bacterial infections, most fungal skin infections are treated by medicated cream. However, many antifungal creams do not need a prescription and can be bought over the counter at your local drug store. Ask your doctor for their recommendation regarding which cream will be most effective. For example, ringworm is commonly treated with over-the-counter topical creams like Lamisil, Mycelex, Lotrimin, or Micatin. For stronger-dosage medicated creams, your doctor will need to write you a prescription. Be sure to follow the directions as they're printed on the tube of cream itself; most need to be applied 2 or 3 times per day. For example, severe cases of jock itch or athlete's foot typically require a prescription medicated topical cream (including naftifine or ketoconazole) or oral antifungal medication (including itraconazole and terbinafine).
A: Inspect fungal infections in warm, dark areas of skin. Ask your doctor about over-the-counter medicated cream. Ask your doctor about a prescription cream or oral antifungal medication.

Q: Bleached hair is fragile and damaged hair, even if it is in the best condition it can be. Take care of your hair, don't shampoo it if it feels dry, and don't go overboard on the brushing, straightening, and curling. Most of the time, let your hair air dry. If you must blow-dry your hair, be sure to use the coolest setting. Avoid applying heat or otherwise manipulating your natural hair texture as much as possible, as this can cause your hair to break off you could end up with chunks of hair sticking out from your head that are only 12 inches (2.55.1cm) long. If you simply must straighten your hair, you can achieve a straightening effect with a blow dryer and a round brush do this as an alternative to using a straightener. If done properly, this technique should eliminate the need to use a straightening iron. Comb your hair with a wide-tooth comb. Bleached hair is porous and can be easily discolored by water. Priming your hair before you wash can help repel the water and protect your color. Pre-wash primers can be purchased at salons, beauty supply shops, drugstores, and online. Shampoo strips your hair of its natural oils, and your bleached hair will likely need all the oil it can get. If you regularly work out/sweat or use a lot of products in your hair, you can likely bump this up to twice a week. You can also substitute dry shampoo for a wash. When you dry your hair, gently pat and squeeze it with a towel don't rub the towel over your hair. Purple shampoos and conditioners specifically made for gray hair can help keep it toned and reduce the chances of some of your strands fading to yellow/blonde. If these aren't available to you, at least buy shampoos and conditioners that are designed for color-treated hair. It's best to use professional shampoos and conditioners rather than drug store brands. Ask your stylist to recommend products formulated for gray or bleached hair. Purchase a good deep-conditioning treatment from a salon or a beauty supplies shop. Avoid drugstore brands as these may only coat your hair, leaving it feeling waxy and weighed down. Ask your stylist to recommend a professional deep conditioning treatment. A good hair oil will keep your hair looking softer and less frizzy. Some people swear by extra virgin coconut oil to reduce frizz and help condition their hair. You may not be able to avoid hairdryers, straighteners, and curling irons completely, which is fine! Just be sure to use a good heat protectant on your hair before using heat-styling tools. These come in sprays, creams, and mousses, and are available at your local beauty supplies shop or salon. To keep your hair as healthy as possible, use only styling products that will moisturize your hair. Avoid anything that provides lift or volume, as this will dry out your hair.
A: Be very gentle with your hair. Treat your hair with a pre-wash primer to protect the color. Limit washing your hair to once or twice weekly. Use good-quality purple shampoo and conditioner. Deep condition your hair at least once a week. Limit your use of heat-styling tools to protect your hair.

Q: Tires and mattresses work best because they absorb some of the shock from the floor when you're wrestling. Lay the tires or mattresses on the ground inside the frame so they're in a flat, even layer that stretches across the whole floor space. You can find cheap, old mattresses at your local thrift store. Reach out to your local junkyard to see if they have old tires you can use for your ring. Use only tires or only mattresses for your ring. Use plywood sheets that are at least 1 inch (2.5cm) thick. The size and number of sheets you'll need depends on how large your ring is. If your ring is small enough, you may be able to use 1 large plywood sheet. When you have the plywood sheets cut to size, drill or hammer them into the pieces of wood running between the posts. Padding the floor of your wrestling ring will soften the impact when you're wrestling on it. Use thin mattress padding that's about 1 inch (2.5cm) thick. The tarp will protect the padding and plywood from bad weather, and it will make your ring look more professional. After you lay the tarp on the floor, pull it as tight as possible and drill or hammer it into the sides of the frame.
A: Line the bottom of your wrestling ring frame with tires or mattresses. Cover the square frame of your ring with sheets of plywood to make a floor. Cover the plywood floor with mattress padding. Lay a tarp over the floor and fasten it to the sides of the frame.

Q: Before you begin cleaning a sticky keyboard you will need to shut down your computer. Once your computer is shut down, make sure its power sources are disconnected. For example, if your desktop is plugged into an outlet, you will need to unplug it. If you are using a desktop computer you might have a keyboard that connects to the computer through a USB or PS/2 port. If this is the case, you will need to unplug the keyboard from the USB or PS/2 port prior to cleaning. Tilt the keyboard upside down. Use your hands to gently shake out any loose debris. You should not attempt to shake loose debris from a laptop keyboard. The shaking could potentially damage the computer. If you have a laptop computer, or if there is residual debris in a standard keyboard that cannot be removed by shaking, you should use a can of compressed air. Spray the compressed air in between the keys and in all the keyboard's crevices to remove loose debris.
A:
Turn your computer off. Unplug the keyboard from the computer. Shake out the loose debris. Use compressed air to remove loose debris.
