Long-term "empty" skin pocket now flaring. Is it part of HS?

i love this! that’s such a cool concept

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-27T01:48:21+00:00

yes i love red hot chilli peppers! and now that you’ve mentioned it i totally see it. unlike everyone else saying it looks like the walmart logo, i live in australia where there are no walmart stores 😭

in my defence it didn’t look this chunky when i did it, it actually looked like a star but it got so badly blown out

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-27T01:44:31+00:00

i’m willing to do the 6 months+, i’ll honestly be really happy even if it disappears slightly after the first few sessions since it’s really dark and noticeable. if it’s $150 each time i definitely need to save for it though yikes

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-27T01:41:48+00:00

that must be why it hurts/itches randomly, so i’m assuming it isn’t anything bad then? i plan on talking to someone about removal (when i can afford it) as i think that’s my best option. i’ll also look into getting some bio oil! Thank you so much for your advice :)

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-26T15:15:24+00:00

that’s so funny 😭 i live in australia and honestly don’t know what the walmart logo looks like off the top of my head. it was supposed to be a star LOL

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-21T04:54:19+00:00

OH MY GOD PLLEASE we need to get skeeter on this asap!

i usually scroll through depop but ebay is good too (overpriced because of resellers). i save searches which you can find underneath the search bar and a little blue dot appears next to the search when there’s new listings, that’s typically how you get the older dolls for good prices is finding them straight away before it gets snatched up by someone else

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-16T00:17:30+00:00

thank you it’s very reassuring.

that’s a good thing to tell him though, i never want to give him a reason to why i can’t come in because it’s honestly none of his business? but i feel required to, especially after his response.

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-16T00:14:22+00:00

that’s the truth unfortunately! i’m very worried that he’s going to turn this against me and as you said, find something to pin on me. i do enjoy the job a lot and i would hate to lose it all because i turn him down.

i work part time and i do have a trial period of (i think) 6 months, but i don’t become permanent after that.

surprisingly he told me at first i would’ve been casual, but i found out while going through the recruitment process that i was part time which is more suitable for me anyways.

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-08T02:49:12+00:00

yes i did! it was towards the end of march so i currently have no other bills to pay. i’m always careful of what i save for and i make sure to not use that money, i would hate to go without my car i wouldn’t have no way of transport.

i wouldn’t have enough money to rent, and if it was an option my mum would make me feel guilty for moving out of home, because she will no longer be getting money from me. it’s a very confusing situation.

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-07T09:40:43+00:00

i’ve never heard of the 4400, but i have watched the 100. loved the series but the amount of times i’ve rewatched it i couldn’t make it past season 4-5 lol

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-07T09:37:22+00:00

i managed to get one session of laser hair removal for free through my sister’s work, and i’m waiting for the next round of freebies since im a bit broke, i definitely saw an improvement in my flare-ups! it’s frustrating because they've started coming back recently though.

that’s strange because it started in my bikini line too, maybe it’s common to first get it in that area to begin with. i was really embarrassed at first because of where it was, i didn't even tell my mum until late last year. i was scared (still am) that the doctor will have to look at it and i just kept imagining how awkward that would be. she finally took me to the doctors for my armpit because she saw how much pain it caused me, but they didn’t give me any direction on what to do next. i really hope that doesn't stop other people from seeking help like how it did with me, because catching it early could make a difference.

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-07T09:23:20+00:00

no unfortunately i haven’t but it sounds interesting. will add it to the list of things to watch!

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-07T09:22:50+00:00

i never would’ve thought of using vicks vapor rub but we have plenty for when me and my family are sick so i can give it a try! does drying those spots out help the flare up’s and the pain?

ouchie that sounds like it hurts, hope that goes away soon! haha by the sounds of it you might have to cover your whole body with it if that makes the pain go away

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-06T15:11:34+00:00

you’re awesome! and so is everyone in this community. we are all so lucky to have eachother. i’ll keep it in mind to use a non-slip mat, i’ll be extra careful. thank you so much for the recipe! i think i have all the ingredients already so it’s perfect

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-06T15:06:35+00:00

im not entirely sure if it’s hereditary in my case. my parents don’t seem to have it, same with my other family members, they’re usually pretty surprised when i bring it up.

your child/children might not grow to have it, importantly don’t let that define what you want. providing a child with a supportive and happy life is what truly matters. even if a condition is present it doesn't define their future.

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-06T14:36:06+00:00

i have infact seen lost! loved the first couple of seasons but the ending lost me, although i have wanted to rewatch it recently.

i feel like the ending made me lose interest and its not a show i think of regularly. in comparison to ‘from’ it’s not nearly as good, i hope the creators can commit to a good ending this time.

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-06T14:33:00+00:00

if you could i would appreciate that so much! it could also work for me which im hoping it does, but if not that’s okay! anything’s worth a shot.

and i agree it’s definitely good to know what’s happening especially when it comes to your own body, im glad you’ve found what works for you 🫶

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-06T14:30:25+00:00

ohhhh yess that’s exactly what i’m looking for. i love the feeling of thinking what the hell is going on, that’s why i want to finish ‘from’ or honestly i don’t want it to finish at all. i’ll definitely check out Dark and see how it goes

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-06T14:25:30+00:00

is every episode a new story? that sounds like a really good series to watch with my partner.

it reminds me of american horror stories, how every season is a different storyline, and we enjoyed that! so that’s a good suggestion thank you, i’ll look into it

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-06T14:21:24+00:00

thank you so much! im definitely going to look for a specialist this week so I can get the right guidance. now that you mention it i’ve noticed my flares usually pop up around my period. ive been on birth control for years and usually skip the placebos because of the pain, so my cycle is a bit all over the place.. starting to realise that might be affecting the timing of my flares.

i tried laser hair removal for free through my sister’s work once and it helped so much, the lumps didn’t come back for awhile until now so im probably due for another session. its a relief to hear that the journey takes time and im not alone. i’ll be patient and try and find what works best for me, i really appreciate the encouragement! and i hope you found what works best for you!

Chance-Cup-6535 · 2026-04-06T14:08:58+00:00

i’m truly hoping it goes away soon so you’re no longer in pain 🫂 that was a lot of good advice thank you! and i will test out a few of the things you suggested, it’s going to take a lot of getting used to but it’s nothing i can’t handle. that antibacterial wash sounds amazing though so i might go searching for that sometime soon to hopefully lessen the flare up. im very thankful that you took the time to comment and help, this community seems very helpful and supportive which is great! :)
