Questions

Treating Skin Fold SoresI am currently being treated for pneumonia with z-pack, albuterol inhaler, steroids, cough syrup, and Diflucan. My question is being on these meds, how am I developing a skin fold (underside of fat roll) sore? Shouldn't the steroids and diflucan be clearing it up if not completely?

Hair Dye Left Hair GreenishI am 52 yrs old. I was born with black hair and over the years I have been using ammonia free blonde to lighten my hair in preparation for grey. There is a nice grey colour, so I was a light colour. I dyed my hair another blonde and then put the grey through it and a green tinge came out.

Preventing Mold in the Bathroom ShowerCan you use a mold resistant paint on tile in a shower? I used it on the ceiling and it works, but the floor and bottom of the shower walls which are tile have a mold problem. There is no fan in this bathroom and the shower stays damp.

ASPCA Nail Trimming ServiceWhere can I take my dog to have his nails trimmed in the Bronx 10454?

Donating Fabric to CharityI live in Rhode Island and have hundreds of pounds of fabric in perfect condition. My mother collected it for the last 50 years. The pieces are at least a yard and up to 30. There are all types, mostly cotton. Any ideas of who could use it? They would need to pick it up in Cranston RI.
