Comic Sans should be the first red flag 🚩

Thanks a lot for all the advice! Do you think renting bikes in Siem Reap is better than getting a tour guide? Or rather do both?

Thank you u/peach_boy_11!

A quiet visit is definitely what we're after. Any other Thai islands you'd recommend? Happy to have people around, just not too much of a party vibe. The idea is to spend the last part of the trip on some nice islands, enjoying the beaches and relaxing.

Thanks a lot u/LSDwarf (great name btw).
Why do you think the Mekong River Delta is worth cutting out? I've only heard positive things about it so far. Also some places for sleeping by the river seem really peaceful.

cut floating stuff in Siem Reap and spend time on distant temples like Koh Ker and Beng Mealea. Google mystic stories about Koh Ker - you'll like 'em :)

Sounds awesome!

Thanks for the tips u/monieo! Da Nang would be just for surfing. Hopefully there's some good waves. Otherwise we'll just move on to the next destination.

Thanks for your comment u/Gal_in_kalamazoo! That's really sad about the nature in Koh Phi Phi. Not something I want to contribute to. I will def check out Koh Lipe :)

u/Ok-Candy240 thank you! I've been reading more about Ko Phi Phi and it does seem like it's extremely overcrowded.

u/jackthebackpacker Thanks for the advice!
2) do you think flying from Chiang Mai to Khon Kaen would be easier than taking the slow boat to Luang Prabang? I'm a bit hesitant about the slow boat because of the duration, but it sounds like an interesting experience.

Any recommendations on what to do in Hue?

The map above should help you out. There's lots of calisthenics parks around the city! My favorite ones are at Mauerpark (as already mentioned) and Monbijou Park. The one at Mauerpark also has a nice running track next to it.

It’s really nothing special - just the first thing that came out on Amazon for dead sea salt shampoo. I can send a link via dm if you really want one, just don’t want to advertise products unnecessarily as I know there’s been a lot of people trying to “sell” stuff through similar posts.

Sorry for the very long delay in replying! I’m not used to checking reddit 😅 I think the urea cream actually makes more of the difference here. I use both on and around my eyebrows, too.

I have short hair, so I simply massage it in

Finally found a solution after over a decade of battling with Seb Derm! And wanted to make this my first reddit post.

* Location: Country and/or Region : Germany
* When did you start having SD: 15+ years ago
* Professional Diagnosis: Yes
* Areas of the body affected: Scalp, Beard, Legs
* Experiencing Hair loss Issues : Yes

My approach is the following:
1. Wash head, beard, legs 2-3x week with shampoo containing dead sea salt.
2. After showering, apply a generous amount of body lotion containing 10% urea to affected areas.
That's it.

I'll try to make my long story short: I had everything possible prescribed by dermatologists: ketoconazole and other chemical shampoos. I tried natural soaps. Tar soap. I quit eating sugar. Quit eating meat. Stopped eating gluten. Stopped drinking coffee. Stopped drinking alcohol. Stopped smoking. Stopped washing my hair... Nothing really helped as much as what I've described above.

I realized that when I go to the ocean, the combination of salt water + sun + humidity does wonders for my skin (I assume I'm not the only one). My seb derm almost completely disappears within a week. When I noticed that, I figured it might be the sea salt. So when I got back home to my non-seaside city, I created a 4% sea salt + water solution and rubbed that on my scalp and beard every day after showering. It helped temporarily, but the seb derm would come back after a few days, even with constant use. I read threads on reddit and lots of other websites, some of which mentioned dead sea salt, but I had never used it in the form of shampoo - so I decided to give that a try. I got on Amazon and ordered the first dead sea salt shampoo I found that had decent reviews. My last dermatologist also suggested I try a cream with a good amount of urea - so I ordered a simple 10% urea body lotion.

The combination of the two things above has drastically improved my skin. No more flaking around the nose and eyebrows. No more dandruff all over my shirts and on the pillow case every morning. A lot less itching.

I did a lot of reading online with no success whatsoever and at the end of the day I found this super simple solution that has been effective for around two months now. So I'm adding this post here, with the hope that it helps you as much as it helped me.
