Stay Safe! 🚧
Flash floods in San Antonio can develop in minutes—especially after heavy rain.

• Turn around, don’t drown—never drive through flooded roads
• Avoid low water crossings and underpasses
• Move to higher ground if water starts rising
• Keep alerts on via National Weather Service or local apps
• Have an emergency kit ready (water, meds, flashlight)

Flash floods are fast and unpredictable—don't take a chance!

Eczema isn’t just “dry skin.”

✨ What it can look like:
• Dry, scaly, or cracked skin
• Red or darker patches (depending on skin tone)
• Intense itching (often worse at night)

🔥 Common triggers:
• Weather changes (especially dry or cold air)
• Stress
• Fragrances, soaps, and detergents
• Allergens (such as dust)

💡 What actually helps:
• Consistent moisturizing (think thick creams/ointments, not lotions)
• Gentle, fragrance-free skincare
• Short, lukewarm showers

Eczema is not contagious

If your skin is constantly flaring, itching, or not responding to over-the-counter care, it’s worth getting a personalized plan.
