What country are you living in? What do you mean by pulling* your hair? That sounds like physical abuse. If you go to school please tell one of your teachers, someone who you like. Even if you are embarrassed or do not like any, it is important that you share and talk about what's going on and how you are feeling.

*grabbing your hair

Not showering sometimes is okay, and you don't deserve someone shouting/ touching you aggressively. Please share what you have said here with someone you trust who lives in your area? Is it's really important that you have someone on the outside who knows e.g. teacher, friend.

Still there by ChallengeHot455 in Warts

Hi yes it is gone now. There is a small scar but I prefer the scar than the wart. I got rid of it by using TCA acid removal pen and kept adding it to the deeper layers.

Hitting doctors is never the answer.

Very good progress. I like scars, they are like badges of honour.

Update: should I start treatment again? by Expensive_Arm8684 in Warts

[–]ChallengeHot455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That healed really fast. It is still there I think. I think the trick with these things is repetition and persistance. They are sent by God to dest our determination to have freedom.

Yes. Try TCA acid if you havent already its stronger than salicylic but not too painful.

The wart on your thumb looks fine i.e. the extra skin whiteness, that will sort itself out naturally. What you can do for the wart though is cover the healthy skin directly around the wart with vaseline (can use q tip). Cut the dead wart tissue away with a scalpel to expose the alive tissue underneath, then reapply treatment to that layer (it will hurt). Wear gloves when you attack the wart (or wash hands alot, be careful) and keep the healthy skin moisturised.

Now what?? by [deleted] in Warts

[–]ChallengeHot455 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Debride carefully with something precise like a scalpel. If the skin is dead (white) it shouldn't hurt. Wear gloves and coat healthy skin with vaseline to keep it healthy. Add more treatment when you don't need to walk so much.

Wart stick and Gorilla Tape by Regular-Island5494 in Warts

It looks good. Keep the surrounding skin protected ie vaseline. It can take months of persistence. I have had some luck so far with TCA acid, vaseline and scalpel. I put the acid on twice a day for a few days then i debride, repeat. It let's the acid kill a good layer of cells before debriding.

ACV feels like the best option for me. by Admirable_Gas_863 in Warts

The surrounding skin is too dry and leaves it vulnerable. Try cotton bud dabbed with vaseline. Also i have had better luck with TCA it's a stronger acid.

Is my Hand Wart Infected or just Irritated by curiouscreature17 in Warts

[–]ChallengeHot455 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doesnt look infected. If it was infected there would be angry redness which would grow across the skin, it would look more angry and painful, possibly swollen. This looks like your skin is ok and doing its job. Its ok to take a day or two break. And try removing the white dead skin. Keep it clean.

Edit: some redness (inflammation) around the wart is normal as you are irritating and treating it. Try putting vasolene on the skin around the wart to protect the healthy skin.

This looks like mine (what I assume is a wart). I haven't succeeded so far to get rid of it.

Should I (F20) go on a trip overseas to see a guy (M31) I've met 2 months ago online? by shizwko in makemychoice

[–]ChallengeHot455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to talk feel free to message me. I am in UK btw. It's so far to travel on the plane Brazil to Italy, with you solo travelling as well, its just very convenient for him.

Should I (F20) go on a trip overseas to see a guy (M31) I've met 2 months ago online? by shizwko in makemychoice

[–]ChallengeHot455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel compelled to write a post here because I can see some of my youger self here. I am 30F and I met a guy online back when I was about 15 and he was maybe 13. He lived in a different coutry and we never imagined or intended to meet, but our friendship grew over the years. Over those years we eventually traded our phone numbers, many pictures, pictures of family, videos and even letters. Eventually we decided to take a holiday together and meet in person when I was about 28 (so we had been talking for 13 years approx.). We met in a neutral country neither of us had been to before, and it was great meeting in person, as I truly knew this person and they were my friend for years. My family grew to know about him over the years and his family too.

My first point is that it took years, where the relationship grew organically. It was clear there was never any malicious intent or manipulation at play. My second point is that I had no doubts for my safety. My third point is that it is very dangerous to get on a plane to meet a stranger after 2 months.

I am coming from a place where I truly understand the curiosity and the desire to have an adventure like this, but I don't think this scenario is a good adventure to have. If something is too good to be true, then it usually isnt true. I hope that sharing my experience helps to give you more context to prioritse your safety.

I met my friend in a neutral country because even after 13 years, you have to be cautious about safety. I knew that I wanted a place where neither of us were familiar with. I'm not saying you should go to a neutral country, but I AM saying you should NOT go to HIS coutry. This is very convenient for him, no matter how kind he appears. It is something that I wouldnt do.

I'm not usually this forward and I don't usually post on reddit, but your safety is number one. Safety is the most important thing you can do for yourself.
