How long does advantage dog flea control take to absorb into the skin?

I put it on my dog%26#039;s neck about 2 hours ago, and it is still wet. Can it harm her? She is a puppy|||How it works


Use Advantage monthly to kill fleas within minutes. The active ingredient is imidacloprid, which acts on the nervous system of the flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. Advantage stops biting fleas in three to five minutes and starts to kill adult fleas within an hour after application.1 Within 12 hours of application, 98-100 percent of fleas are dead. This is important because flea bites can lead to skin infections, cause discomfort for your pet, lead to allergic skin reactions, and can even transmit other disease-causing organisms, including tapeworms.


You won%26#039;t need to use another flea control product. Advantage kills fleas before they lay eggs, so their life cycle is broken at multiple stages. It also kills flea larvae within 20 minutes of contact.1


IT DOES NOT GET INTO THE BLOOD STREAM....AND IT CAN BE BOUGHT OUTSIDE OF THE VETERINARIANS OFFICE.


Dont let her lick it. It will dry she will be fine.|||Since Advantage can only be purchased through a vet, your pup probably is fine. I used to give that kind of flea control to my Boxer and within a few minutes he was drooling and sluggish. I go the homeopathic route now.|||It takes 24 hours to spread throughout the entire skin and kill all the fleas. It should be dry before 24 hours. Hope you got it all on the skin, because if you just dropped it on the fur it won%26#039;t work.





If you put it on the back of the neck where she can%26#039;t lick it off, it%26#039;s won%26#039;t harm her. Frankly even if she did get it in her mouth it would be unlikely to do anything, it%26#039;s very safe stuff. Just wait for it to dry, don%26#039;t let any get accidentally wiped off!

It is very sad him passing away but with all the videos and footage you really appreciate how he changed colour over the years.

Michael Jackson two years after he was diagnosed with vitiligo universalis, pictured in the early stages of the disease. [14]Michael Jackson was diagnosed in 1986 with vitiligo and lupus; the latter was potentially lethal but was in remission in Jackson%26#039;s case.[15] In a 90-minute interview with Oprah Winfrey in February 1993, Jackson dismissed suggestions that he bleached his skin, admitting for the first time that he had the illness. The admission went on to promote awareness of vitiligo, a relatively unknown condition before then.[16][17][18][19] After his death, a friend claimed he started wearing his signature sequin glove to cover the vitiligo that had begun to appear.[|||The skin colour change was due to the skin condition he had, which was vitiligo.





Apparently, there were blothes of his skin that were tuning noticeably paler and michael decided to have it bleached so he wouldn%26#039;t have any blotches. Thats a theory, others say he purposely bleached his skin coz he didn%26#039;t want to be black. Im not sure what really went on regarding his skin colour change and i don%26#039;t think no will really ever understand.|||He had a skin condition that pigments the skin called Vitiligo.





He DIDNT bleach his skin, it wasn%26#039;t his choice, so dont believe the haters. The condition was on his dads side of the family and he was diagnosed with it.

How can I convince a skin specialist that a mole I have in the face should be removed?

Let me start by saying that I live in Portugal so the health system may be different of the USA%26#039;s.





I don%26#039;t want to pay rivers of money to remove a mole so, if my skin specialist agrees that the mole have to be removed, I can remove it in the hospital for free.


How can I do it?|||If the mole is asymmetric in shape, or raised or odd-colored, it raises a concern for skin cancer, and usually a dermatologist uses a mole-removing tool to shave off a mole and send it off to a lab for testing.





If your mole appears to be normal, then at least in US it%26#039;s a cosmetic procedure based on non-medical reason and you would incur a small fee. I know someone who had moles removed from her face and one from her shoulder (the one on shoulder appeared to be abnormal, so this one was sent off to a lab). The fee was less than $100 or something after insurance.

Anyone know any good ways to get rid of pimples under the skin?

i have them all over my cheeks, they aren%26#039;t red but look like little bumps, any good ways to get rid of them?|||Neutrogena 2 step acne system may help but if I were you, I would ask a skin doctor to get the most appropriate treatment.





All the best!
