Any ways to help flare ups in the Summer?

I know summer makes HS worse and that's definitely the case for me.

Is there anyway I can make it easier or do things to lessen the flares? I can't do the medical steps right now, so at home is really my only option due to lack of insurance.

How to handle family being pushy about Jesus?

So I've been a convert for 5 years, going on six now. My family had all been extremely supportive but a few lately have been pushy in a disrespectful way. Which doesn't make sense, because I've been openly Jewish for 5 years and converted for 2 years before that.

Lately some family have been making comments like "why would you ignore Jesus when he's right there?" And things like "what about your eternal soul?" And even things like "I just don't understand how you could not believe in Jesus when he's the right way"

I don't want to bash on their religion, because I respect their Christianity, but I'm getting tired of the comments. I want to do this respectfully, but I'm at a loss of what to do.

Any advice from others who have dealt with this type of thing? Thank you!

Need some opinions and maybe advice on a non Jewish family members actions. Am I overreacting? Or am I justified?

Hey y'all, I need some advice. So, I'm the only Jewish person in my family.

I have one family member named David. He is NOT Jewish. But he constantly uses the Star of David on Facebook posts and even has a Star of David tattoo.

He has this obsession with the Star of David simply because HIS name is David. Everyone keeps telling me I'm overreacting and shouldn't be upset about him using it.

But also, none of them are Jewish. So I wanted some Jewish perspective on the situation. And some advice maybe? I'm not even sure at this point.

Thank you!

edit: thank you for your replies! what I've taken from the replies I've gotten are that it's annoying and he doesn't really understand why it's not the best. but that it's not exactly hurting anyone. so thank you for helping me!

also, I don't particularly like him because he's constantly crossing boundaries and basically asking why "I wouldn't believe in Jesus when Jesus is right there" knowing I'm Jewish while he wears the Star of David (which I now know is not intrinsically only a Jewish thing, so you know, I was educated thank you!)
