about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

ok so i had a bit of bad razer burn "down there", then it got really itchy and got even worse from me itching it. Then it got kinda irrtated from my sweat and stuff from my soccer preseason. What is the best way i can get rid of this rash? I have been putting baby powder on it, but i need something that will make it go away so i can shave again.

During the day, or when you might sweat, try using cornstarch, and not baby powder. Sometimes the scent in the powder makes a rash worse. At night apply a 1% hydrocortisone cream, and wear loose cotton pajamas, no nylon underpants. (keep the area as clean and dry as possible). Be sure to ask a doctor or a pharmacist if you have any doubt about using over the counter medications. If you notice an increase in symptoms, increased redness or swelling you may also wish to call the doctor because you could have a secondary skin infection.
