Can chewing gum cause someone to break out in a rash?

A couple of months ago I started to get rashes on my elbows and eyelids all of a sudden, they sort of look like psoriasis rashes or hives. I'd never been diagnosed with that or any other skin disorder, but a few months ago I started chewing a lot of gum to keep my breath fresh while I'm outside, and sometimes inside the house too. So I'm thinking I'll probably stop chewing gum for a while to see if that helps, but tell me what you think.

    Sounds like hives (psoriasis wouldn't come and go). If you are allergic to something in the gum, that could trigger hives.

    Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more https://tr.im/Wxmdm

    After I started training my dog, he became very attached to me and loves to stay by side as long as he can. But just going to them won't help. You have to practice what they teach you outside of the class and you need to keep up with it at least every now and then after the class ends otherwise they'll just go back to previous habits. This course is a really good place to go for dog obedience classes. It get's your dog around other people and dogs to socialize while getting the training you need. As for electric collars, I would say to not get one. In my experience, they're only a negative effect on your dog. I mean of course you're going to need to correct your dog, but being positive and encouraging your dog works a lot faster and easier.

    Every dog is different, so unless you have a german shepherd or a really smart dog, it might take a while to train her. You might get frustrated with her, but go easy. She's still a puppy and has a lot of energy. A backyard or somewhere to run will help her get rid of a lot of energy that might cause her to misbehave from boredom.
