Take care of your skin and hair in monsoon

Image
Most of us love monsoon, don't we? It's windy outside, greenery on trees, and you're at your home sipping the ever so soothing ginger tea. Yes, everything seems great in this season, but there are a few we have to take care of in the monsoon.  People start having some skin and hair related problems that can make us worried. The reason for these problems is (in most cases) fungus. We become susceptible to fungal infections in this season, and you already know the reason for this. Now, let's take a look at how we can combat these problems - In this season, we get rashes and bumps after coming in contact with rainwater.  To stop letting this happen, we should always try to dry ourselves quickly and put on a preferred moisturizer. Also, wash your face often if it's prone to pimple breakouts. Some people find their skin to be itchy and sticky. This problem makes them feel uncomfortable, which results in frustration.  To get rid of the stickiness, try to exfoliate your sk...

For a few days, my friend Arunas's son had a fever. In urgency, she went to the doctor and came to know that her son was suffering from Malaria.   Aruna took all the medicines prescribed by the doctor and came back home. After coming back home, she realized that she forgot to tell the doctor that her son would vomit few hours after eating. Like Aruna, we too often forget to tell some points to the doctor, and other times, we don't understand what the doctor tells us. Now, whenever you go to a doctor, keep these points in mind - 1. If you tend to forget important points regarding your problem to the doctor, then note them down on a piece of paper. 2.

If you are making appointments with the doctor regularly, remember to tell the doctor if the medicine prescribed to you has benefited you or not. Also, don't forget to state if you have seen any side effects from his prescribed drugs. 4. T...
