Whether it's on your face or your legs (or elsewhere...), razor burn is downright unpleasant. Interested in finding out how you can stop razor burn in its tracks? I recently came across this article with some helpful tips on how to prevent it:

• Make sure you're using a clean, sharp razor. Ditch the one you picked up years ago, and only use a disposible one when it's absolutely necessary.
  
• Don't go against the grain -- shave in the same direction the hair is growing.
  
• Shave in or after the shower, and make sure the area you're shaving is thoroughly wet--dry hair is too difficult to shave
  
• Try using a shaving cream or oil -- soap and water shaves are too harsh.
• Don't shave run the razor over the same area over and over -- this will lead to irritation.
  
• Don't shave immediately after getting up -- the skin is too puffy to get a good shave. On the other hand, don't spend too long in the bath before shaving -- your skin gets too wrinkly
  

Of course, if you do get razor burn, it's not the end of the world. Apply an Aloe Vera lotion twice a day and your skin should be rash-free within a couple of days. Or, try using a tea bag, as Bethany suggested a while back.

Psoriasis is one of the most embarrassing diseases. Those fingers, toes and other body parts aren't generally welcome in public when nasty-looking skin irritations are hanging around. I've known certain people who were afraid to wear certain clothes based on the scales and hard skin that psoriasis results in (and shows off).

What to do? Topical treatments like Tinactin and other anti-fungal medications are used by athlete's foot sufferers, but these products do little to alleviate psoriasis problems, which sometimes have to be dealt with internally.

Enbrel, a psoriasis drug that triggers immune responses to dampens inflammatory issues, is a drug I've not researched but looks interesting. Does Enbrel wear off over time of have side effects like most other prescription drugs? A large-scale clinical trial looked at questions like this and provide some answers, some of which are listed here.
