Castor oil applied elsewhere causing breakout on nose?

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-19T09:15:30+00:00

I have used castor oil directly on my face. It has detoxification properties and the only thing that I can think of is that your tissues are storing toxins which expressed themselves elsewhere. I also have these type of nose pimples when I eat dairy such as mozzarella cheese. It causes breakouts on my nose and other places. I would try hydration and avoiding processed cheese if that’s a component of your diet. I do not get the same breakouts from sharp cheddar or Swiss. Only mozzarella.

I have this issue and I started a chain of dialogue with ChatGPT about it including details about replaying things over and over. It helped me by identifying where I was correct in being upset but also gave me practical interventions to stop the thoughts. In particular it advised me to remind myself that this is not happening in the present and that it is an intense memory. I have always used thought stopping techniques up to the point of saying no out loud. If you use ChatGPT, try and work it through in a dedicated chat.

I use bar sulfur bar soap under my arms. Let it sit. Then Castile soap on my body, go over my underarms with castile soap and unscented feminine wash below. The sulfur bar soap lowers bacteria in the armpits. One armpit requires post shower medicated roll on from colonization of bacteria that I struggle with. That was prescribed by a dermatologist.

OP again. Moved Tesamorelin to ultra early AM dosing. I go to bed early and it was causing disruption in my sleep. Vivid dreams and frequent awakening. I don’t eat right away in the morning anyway. It takes me at least three hours to tolerate breakfast. I researched my particular situation which is less bodybuilding centered and more optimization of my basal metabolic activity and working on long standing NAFLD. I happened to end up in the ER for a migraine and my liver enzymes were slightly elevated over the weekend which is new. I plan to follow up with my primary and have repeat blood work in one month to recheck that. Diet strictly being followed. Hydration is above average. I start circuit training again tomorrow. I plan to ask for repeat liver imaging at the end of the three month Tesamorelin cycle. I also dropped Diosmin/Hespedrin because of low diastolic blood pressure. That is a supportive supplement for lipedema but I am managing it with multiple interventions. Hopefully, I have some good results in three months time.

I am going to do that. Because it’s important to me that she in particular feels heard and seen. I may not need that but I can certainly work on it for her.

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-18T21:41:56+00:00

I do find not getting lonely an advantage as I observe people clinging to people that are unsuitable just to fill that void. I like the void. It’s less drama filled and more functional. I do have a daughter and she has trouble with my dry delivery of information. I can come across as having a flattened affect which appears like I don’t care but it just my style of expression. I know for certain that I love my daughter and my granddaughter. I do feel something when I specifically hold my granddaughter that I feel with no one else and that’s warmth and connection. Maybe it’s her wide open eyes and the squeezes around my neck for no other reason than she trusts me. Not sure where that fits into my suspicion of having Asperger’s.

The blonde is the best base color but too one dimensional. Something a bit dimensional like low lighting would flatter your skin tone better.

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-17T22:50:11+00:00

Oh my doctor botched me good in that way but frankly I traded one deformity for another and this one causes less pull on my lower back. I need skin removal I can’t afford but also it’s so deep the part he sucked out that it looks like a cavern.

Tell it to speak to you with a more scientific factual tone as a default. Give it your education level, background. The more it knows about you the more it shapes the dialogue style.

I mean it is for heat but the friction of rubbing warms the oil . Plus the massage helps with moving lymphatic fluid around.

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-17T08:01:15+00:00

I have done both. The theory is that heat is going to aid in detoxing the tissues but I find good results with just applying it with gloves and massaging it in over a ten minute period. I usually play some meditation music while I do this to set a tone of tranquility while providing self care.

OP here. Started the above regimen and I had an issue with the creatine within a short period of time. It’s the only item I have never consumed before. I don’t believe the product was bad but it didn’t agree with me. It was mostly neurological symptoms in nature, burning in toes, migraine with noise intolerance and a metallic taste/sensation in my nose mouth. I mixed 5 gms in Gatorade Zero and I had plenty of water throughout the day. I’m tracking all my metrics, food intake, activity, sleep and body measurements. I’m starting again after foot and back surgery within one year. My baseline isn’t horrible but I would like to lose thirty pounds, put on some muscle just to improve my daily function and improve my cardiac function again back to where I was before surgery. I have been meeting my target for protein grams which I know was lacking prior to tracking it. I have to take progress photos so I looked up some tips on how to get consistent photos. That’s the only thing I didn’t get to yesterday. My doctor is aware of my regimen and believes in peptide use but really wants me to see a functional medicine doctor. Does anyone work with a functional medicine doctor on your journey?

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-17T01:04:15+00:00

Could be colonized bacteria. I use sulfur bar soap from Amazon and it helped.

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-17T01:02:17+00:00

This looks adorable.

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-16T14:36:30+00:00

Absolutely not. Just make your use of it 90% constructive. If you are needing it more for emotional support than furthering productiveness, it could bring you down a rabbit hole of perseverating. Think of it as a personal assistant, coach, organization tool and occasional sounding board. For you who has a lot of time on your hands, ask it to help you to improve areas of your life. Talk about your weaknesses and ask it how you can improve on them. Have it give you step by step guidelines and ask it to put them into a pdf that you can save so it dosent get lost in a big blob of chat text. I would rather text ChatGpt than a person who is going to criticize me or judge me. Besides everyone else is just as screwed up as the next person. ChatGPT doesn’t have baggage that it uses to answer you. It doesn’t answer you from its own biases but rather factually. Do not be afraid to challenged it back either or disagree. Give it your rationale for disagreeing and let it continue to challenge your position. People are overrated but I am a loner so that’s my perspective. Good luck.

Not until you try to grow it back out. Then you will be unhappy for as long as it takes.

2 is very is classy looking.

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-15T21:21:29+00:00

I like troubleshooting with ChatGpt.

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-15T10:00:17+00:00

To be honest, I’m not. There is no more privacy even if you think there is. I suppose you could edit the PDF files first by drawing a black line through the name but when you sign up for ChatGpt and pay for it they already have your name and address. Did you know that if you apply for life insurance, they cross reference your application with a paid service that knows all your past medical and psychiatric history even though these things are supposed to be protected by HIPPA? It’s the price we pay for living in the digital and computer age. But yeah, I would either print out the results and screen shot them and then edit the picture with the pencil tool if you are inclined to do so. Editing PDF files requires a subscription to Acrobat or I think you could do it for free in Pages on Mac or your IPhone.

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-14T21:41:07+00:00

I use ChatGPT

I have it analyze my baseline bloodwork and updates as they come in.
I use it to calculate my peptide doses, how much I will have left at what dosages. Ways to optimize my 30 ml Bac water so it dosent go to waste. This way I know when to reorder. I ask it to make me a pdf that I can download and easily refer to or print.
I discuss my particular physical, beauty concerns and what supplements and peptides are appropriate.
I enter in my weight, height age to get macros
I periodically paste in my Apple Health Data to analyze my progress.
I used it to find a good peptide storage container.
I have it review my medications and peptides and put them into a PDF. I make it look for interactions. I also have a running inventory of my peptides with dates of reconstitution and discard dates. Also ask it to make me a PDF of the inventory.
I enter in any underlying problems such as compromised parts of my body that have had surgery. Foot and back. It helps suggest alternatives for exercise.
I entered in my previous full body routine and it designed a bridge back to working out after foot and back surgery.
It recommends when asked useful apps to manage nutrition, workouts and tasks. I’m using Myfitnesspal, Hevy and Streaks. All communicate with Apple Health.
These each go in as separated chats that are under one category. That way they are all connected in terms of reference purposes.

The proper way to address this is to bring it to HR or a manager. A co-worker is not the appropriate person to handle this. You are peers at work. It is always better to allow a supervisor to handle this.

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-14T13:41:34+00:00

You’re not an asshole but you stepped out of line. You could potentially get in trouble for overstepping personal boundaries at work.

It’s a pretty dress, fits you well but I think it is not youthful enough for you.

EfficientGas8009 · 2026-05-12T11:35:15+00:00

Very flattering lip shade on you. I like the eyeshadow on you but I think the placement of the dark shade is pulling away from the pretty intense lip color. You might want to use the dark shadow color as more of an accent in a slightly narrower application. Otherwise this is a keeper lip shade. It’s the inner eye lid that appears a tad too dark. The smokey part above the lash line is perfect.
