Industry Group Profile - Lead Exposure. Inorganic lead is a malleable, blue-gray, heavy metal that occurs naturally in the Earthâs crust. Lead was one of the first metals used by humans and consequently, the cause of the first recorded occupational disease (lead colic in a 4th century BC metal worker). In 2012, U.S. production of lead was estimated at 1.6 million metric tons; primarily from secondary refining of scrap metal.
Razor burn is a temporary skin irritation caused by shaving. Different people get razor burn for different reasons, but most of the time, it has to do with shaving too closely, too forcefully, or with a dull razor. It is usually identifiable by the itchy red bumps it leaves behind, and in most cases, only lasts for a few days.
Baking Soda. Another old-fashioned home treatment for razor burn is baking soda. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, baking soda has a soothing effect on the skin. Plus, it helps relieve itching and reduces redness. Mix one tablespoon of baking soda in one cup of water. Soak a cotton ball in this solution and apply it on the affected skin.
