AI Thread Summary
To address skin irritation, it's crucial to identify and avoid the underlying cause, such as allergies or chafing clothing. For broken skin, using Neosporin or a similar over-the-counter triple antibiotic can help prevent infection. If the irritation is inflamed or itchy, applying hydrocortisone cream may provide relief. For dry skin, a good moisturizer is often sufficient. If symptoms persist for several days, consulting a doctor is recommended. The discussion briefly shifts to a question about the use of stem cells from cloned embryos, indicating interest in advanced medical topics.

Okay I have one area with skin irritation...could somebody give advice on how to diminish/destroy the skin irritation? I've heard irritated skin on my hands before from for example washing my hands too much...but that's not a problem anymore...

neosporen- get it at your local walgreens.
 
Of course the most important thing is to try to identify the cause of the irritation and avoid it (are you allergic to something, or wearing clothing that is chafing, etc.).

If the skin is broken, yomamma's suggestion of using Neosporin, or any other similar over-the-counter triple antibiotic, will help prevent it from getting infected. If it's just inflamed or itchy, hydrocortisone cream will help. If it's just from dry skin, then a moisturizer might be all you need. If it doesn't get better in a few days, see a doctor.
 
okay,thanks.

BTW, um, can we/do we get stem cells from cloned embryos?

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
