Problem: Article: If basic self-care measures are insufficient to get your rash under control, your doctor may suggest an over-the-counter or prescription steroid cream. In the United States, Hydrocortisone cream is available over-the-counter in a strength of 1%; however, prescription steroid creams are available at higher strengths, and are thus more effective. Note that steroid creams are most effective when you cover the area of the rash after applying the cream. This ensures that the cream remains on the location of interest, and is able to have an effective medicinal effect. Examples of coverings you can use over top of the steroid cream include a plastic wrap, petroleum jelly, or a dressing such as Telfa. There are creams and ointments available that can directly target your immune system and help to repair your damaged (and irritated) skin. Examples include Tacrolimus/Protopic and Pimecrolimus/Elidel (both are calcineurin inhibitors). These are not available over-the-counter, and must be prescribed by your physician. These are rarely given except for in very severe cases of contact dermatitis, as there is an FDA warning about a possible link between these immune-stimulating creams and ointments and certain types of cancer. In the most severe cases of contact dermatitis cases that do not resolve with a combination of self-care methods and steroid creams your doctor may advise a short course of oral corticosteroids. It is not advisable to take oral corticosteroids for long periods of time due to the numerous side effects; however, used over the course of a few days, they may greatly help to get your rash under control. An example of an oral corticosteroid is Prednisone. As your rash/reaction heals following exposure to the triggering substance, it is key to keep an eye on it and to monitor for any signs of possible complications such as an infection. If your rash does become infected, your doctor will need to prescribe you a course of antibiotics to help combat the infection. It is important that you finish the full course of antibiotics, and do not miss any of the pills, even if your symptoms begin to resolve within a few days (as failure to do so could lead to the infection returning). Signs that your rash may be infected include: You develop a fever Pus begins to ooze from your rash You develop fluid-filled blisters (as these may contain infectious material) Your skin becomes warm and red
Summary: Opt for a steroid cream. Try medications that directly target your immune system. Use oral corticosteroids for very severe cases. Ask your doctor for antibiotics if your rash has become infected.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sick of painstakingly flossing with your bare hands? A helpful tool called a floss threader can make it easier to get the floss behind your braces. The threader looks similar to a small plastic needle, and it can be used to floss. It's the same way you would thread a sewing needle. Insert the plastic needle under the archwire of your braces and pull the floss through. Now that it's in position, grab the floss in your hands and floss down between the teeth. Pull the floss out and repeat with the same threader. The threader is useful for making it easier to get the floss into the correct position without scraping up your fingers. Be careful when you apply the pressure to get in between your teeth go gently with a back and forth movement.

SUMMARY: Try using a floss threader. Thread a piece of floss into the eye of the threader. Use the floss as you normally would.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Viruses often use your phone or tablet's data plan while running in the background. This may cause sudden spikes in data usage. Check your billing statement for abnormal charges from increased data usage. Some viruses may make purchases or download apps without your knowledge. If you see an app icon on the home screen or in the app drawer that you don't recall downloading, it could be the work of a virus. Even if the app looks legitimate, use caution if you don't remember downloading it. If an app that never caused any problems in the past begins crashing frequently, a virus could be the reason. Pop-ups might not seem out of the ordinary while browsing the web. However, when you're suddenly inundated by pop-ups, your Galaxy may have an infection. Whatever you do, do not tap on any links in pop-up ads. This could make things worse. Since viruses run constantly in the background, your Galaxy may need more frequent charging. If you use used to charge the Galaxy every 2 or 3 days but suddenly have to charge every day, a virus could be the culprit. Your Galaxy comes with its own security application, but you can use any you prefer. See Running a Security Scan to check your phone or tablet for viruses.
Summary:
Check for increased data usage. Analyze your bank account for unexplained charges. Look for apps you didn't download. Watch for frequently crashing apps. Pay attention to pop-up ads. Monitor your battery usage. Run a security scan.
