Your dog is always scratching and biting at its back and it has lost a lot of hair because of this flea powder doesnt help you dont have the money to see a vet what might help with the itch?

Your dog may be allergic to the flea powder , or have mange.If it's contact dermatitis from the flea powder, buy a box[ not microwave ] of oatmeal. Put a handful of oatmeal in the foot[ from the knee down ] of some old cut-off pantyhose. Tie a knot in the top. Oatmeal is hard on drains. Wash dog with this oatmeal treatment. Wash the dog gently every couple days for a week to ten days. If the dog is still scratching and losing hair , then it must be seen by a vet. Sarcoptic mange is caused by a parasitic mite and can make the dog very ill .
There is also demodectic mange , which is sometimes more responsive to treatment , but I believe there needs to be a microscopic exam of a skin scraping for an absolutely positive diagnosis.

Flea preparations also dry out the skin and fur, which can make them very itchy. Feed him some canned salmon. That will help put the oils back into his skin.

Should I take Elimite cream even if im not sure that I have scabies?

It's best to consult a healthcare professional before using Elimite cream if you're unsure about having scabies. They can accurately diagnose your condition and recommend appropriate treatment. Using the cream without a confirmed diagnosis may not be necessary and could lead to unnecessary side effects. Always prioritize getting a proper assessment for any skin concerns.

Can allowing children to throw pennies in the pool cause chemical balance problems in a chlorine pool like affecting the PH and causing metal stains?

If your pool is properly water balanced and has a pH near 7.5 (certainly greater than 7.2), then it is unlikely that the copper pennies will be a problem with either water balance or stains. Remember that the heat exchanger in a gas pool heater is probably copper and water flows through it whenever the pump is running (even when the heater is turned off). Also, consider that many homes use copper water pipes.

Metals will corrode (oxidize) in acidic conditions with the presence of dissolved oxygen though the actual factors are quite complex. Nevertheless, you should probably scoop out the pennies from the pool after your kids have had their fun, mostly for safety and aesthetic reasons.

Too many pennies(say a gallon of them or so) may cause green water if improper water balance but copper is a natural germ killer so no it can only be a benefit unless they get into your pump.

ANSWER::

Remember that water is a solvent and can dissolve many things. Even if you have a "perfectly balanced" pool ( and realistically nobody does) those pennies will stain the pool -- they are not solid copper and have a mixture of other elements in them.

Is a large painful bump above my temple on my head serious?

this is a fairly broad question, so firstly if you have hit your head recently then you really should go to a doctor. If you're talking about a, painful when pressed, red lump/spot near your hair line on your temples then I think it may be linked to a skin problem called Kerotin Pilaris. It is a build up of kerotin around your hair follicle. It presents itself as small red spots on the tops of your arms or legs and may be linked to this problem too. There are chemical exfolliating creams you can use that have worked well for my arms but I would suggest trying the creams and usual exfolliating creams and let the lumps pass. The is no cure for KP unfortunately, but there are ways to make it better.

Is scabies the same as hpv?

No, scabies is caused by a microscopic parasitic organism called the scabies mite. The bumps and itching associated with it are the result of the parasite burrowing underneath the top layers of the skin.

HPV is a virus which causes a vaguely similar looking kind of bump called a wart, and is also thought to be a cause of some kinds of cancer.
