Answer to Question 1

C
Avoiding direct sunlight will reduce the symptoms. Factors that cause facial flushing precipitate worsening. Tea, coffee, alcohol (especially wine), caffeine-containing foods, spicy foods, sun-light, and emotional stress cause flare-ups. Washing the face too frequently can lead to skin irri-tation and dry skin.

Answer to Question 2

D
Patting the skin dry will decrease irritation and will not break vesicles. Heat (both water and room temperatures) will exacerbate itching. Vesicles should not be covered with dressings.
