Other factors -including diseases like psoriasis, thyroid disorders, alcohol and caffeine, medications (antihistamines, diuretics, and isotretinoin) and dehydration - can significantly alter the skin's function and appearance. Damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation may lead to deep wrinkles and loose, sagging skin. If not cared for, dry skin can progress to red, cracked and inflamed skin, and infection. Moisturizers help to keep water trapped in the skin. Oils prevent the evaporation of water from the skin's surface. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Avoid harsh, drying soaps. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on the skin, and apply moisturizer immediately. For very dry and scaly skin, creams containing lactic acid and/or urea may be beneficial. If dry skin progresses to dermatitis (red, itchy skin), corticosteroid-containing preparations may be helpful. If skin cracks open, wet astringent dressings may reduce secretions and prevent infection. Use a cool steam humidifier, and choose clothing made from cotton or silk that allows your skin to breathe.

Meeting as the Mason County Board of Health, commissioners discussed the fee schedule at an October meeting that also consid- ered a proposed plan for managing on-site sewage disposal systems. Debbie Riley of Mason County Public Health informed the com- missioners that fees for water and sewage services have not been raised since 2002 and that prices in general have risen by 17 per- cent since 2000. Most of the proposed fee hikes are 10 percent, though the fee schedule calls for annual fee hikes starting in 2009 of no more than 3.5 percent based on the Consum- er Price Index established each year for the greater Olympia area. "If the automatic fee adjustment would cause any fee to exceed the cost of providing services, that fee will only be increased to the dollar amount corresponding to the actu- al cost of" providing the services," Riley stated in a written report to the commissioners. If approved as is by the com- missioners, the new fee schedule would hold the line on lab fees for testing surface and drinking water tbr the presence of fecal coliform but would raise the permit for dig- ging a well from $50 to $75 and the plan review fee for small com- munity water systems from $175 to $195.
