73. I Want WHO-Approved Medicine, Please

I learnt that there are two types of acne cure; the one with salycylic acid mix, and another one with benzoyl peroxide mix.

Salycylic acid is a mixture of salt and alcohol. Salycylic acid can penetrate your face pores, breaking bonds between oil. Normal use of salycylic acid is between 2% - 3%. Some people use 17% - 27% mixture to cure warts. However, due to its side effect, the use of high concentration above 3% is not advised. It can cause your pores to expand with extensive use.

Benzoyl peroxide works to kill bacteria. It commonly acts as antiseptic and / or bleaching properties. WHO declared benzoyl peroxide as one essential medicine in health system. Side effect on skin includes irritation, dryness, and peeling. The maximum usage is around 10% concentration in a mixture. Use of small amount doesn't mean it is less potent.

Which do you use to cure acne?
I think I'd use one that has benzoyl peroxide. I guess I can bear dryness but I can't bear large pores.

72. Prickly Heat - Explained

Summer. Hot. Sweaty.

Some people might not stand the heat, and their body starts to show red rashes. It's itchy and uncomfortable. Why?

There are a number of reasons:

• When it happens to children, the organ that's producing sweat is not fully developed yet.
  This results in too much sweat to produce because of the heat, but nothing is doing the production. Therefore, the "raw sweat" leaks to the inner layer of the skin, and irritates the skin.
• In adult, sometimes the dead skin cells block skin pores, causing the sweat organ to fail removing sweat from the body. Consequently, the sweat leaks to the inner layer of the skin too, and irritates the skin. This is also related to the cause of acne (see here for checklist)
• Skin bacteria can also be the cause of the blockage of the skin pores, causing the sweat organ to again, fail removing sweat from the body. It's a common bacteria, the same skin bacteria that can cause acne (see here for checklist).

Advised Treatment:
Cool down your body immediately, to quickly stop sweating.
Use cooling powder, to soothe the skin.

71. A Better Way To Take A Shower

Steps to take a shower:

• Drink a glass of warm water to facilitate blood circulation throughout the body.
  This prevents you from getting dizzy, prevents you from experiencing sudden chill, and other unexpected condition.
  
  Most people will be alone in the shower, and if you're unsure of your condition, don't lock yourself in the shower. This way, when something happens, it's easier for others to get in and help you.


• Start by soaking your foot, followed by your calves, then your thighs, then your stomach, then your back, and finally your shoulder (and head).
  
  This is to help your body adjusts to the water temperature in the shower, especially when you shower with cold water.


• Use shampoo and/or soap to clean your body, starting from hair, face and shoulder, all the way down. Don't forget to massage your body a little bit to increase blood circulation and to check if there's any anomalies present.

70. How to Care for Your Breasts to Keep It Clean at All Times

I suggest to wipe your ni..les during shower. Massage them to check if there's any hard lumps, which may lead to tumour cells / cancer cells.

Clean the tip of your niles from any dirt / sweat residues. Sometimes you didn't realise the milk is leaking from your breasts and it dried up to form dirt.

You can see a super duper tiny hole in your niles if you have a clean niles. Some people can't see the holes but they're also clean nonetheless. Don't force the holes to show up, just clean them gently.

This is what I believe to be one of the ways to prevent getting breast cancer. Preventing is always a better and easier way to do, rather than healing a wound.
