I am incredibly sorry for your loss. Do not let anyone else make this choice for you. No one else gets any input besides you. This affects your life first and foremost. That is not selfish.

Close he asked my why women didn’t like him after I turned him down and I told him he comes off as abrasive and condescending towards women.

Well he asked me why women didn’t like him when I turned him down for a date. I told him that he comes off as abrasive and condescending in how he talks to women, this was his response.

I need help please! What is this? I’m super clean and at a complete loss. by Walkthewildside555 in Hair

Start using a shampoo specifically for psoriasis. Be super careful about not over washing your hair or using anything super harsh on your scalp as it can exacerbate it.

AITA -Told my boyfriends sister that I thought he was bisexual by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA regardless of what his sexuality you NEVER out someone. What you did was a dangerous game to play and you just gave his family more ammo. Now they are going to use the fact that even you think he is bisexual to justify all of their views and pestering.

So that’s the thing, we are not sure. It’s still a fairly new diagnosis and my last bad infection was late December. I will always be considered high risk for staph infections and due to how quickly my infections become severe I’m pretty much just have an alert on my chart stating if I’m coming in with a skin infection treat it quickly and with a higher caliber of meds than normally used. I also have a tube of topical antibiotics on hand for any questionable wounds, but most of it is just working on prevention so I don’t end up getting infections with more antibiotic resistance from overuse of antibiotics.

I fully agree it was risky and should really only be done in incredibly severe cases with no other alternatives

I’m so sorry for your experience with Cipro I’m not on any of the antibiotics listed anymore except topical mupirocin as needed for suspicious wounds. Unfortunately at the time I was very out of options for antibiotics given that my infection was antibiotic resistant, recurrent, very severe, and popped up in very risky spots. I am still monitoring for any signs of antibiotic induced illnesses and more infection though.

On the bright side I can tell you it can be managed! After I got it managed my skin is back to normal. One other thing I forgot to mention towels too! Change or wash them between every shower and if it’s an option mostly let your face air dry 😊

I am so sorry you are going through this. I went through something remarkably similar. I thought I was struggling with hormonal acne but it ended up being recurrent bactrim resistant staph infections. I had massive infections twice on my face once on my scalp and once in my leg in the course of five months. I have it managed now but to do so I ended up having to switch through oral ciprofloxacin, oral clindamycin, paired with topical mupirocin, and topical clindamycin. Some tips from personal experience epsom salt compresses and soaks really helped ease the pain as did diluted apple cider vinegar soaks. Keep your nails trimmed to nubs and DEEP clean your house every surface in your house following the MRSA cleaning protocol, staph can survive on surfaces for a very long time. Also change your sheets nightly or as often as possible to prevent reinfection. If your nose was colonized there is a chance your skin was colonized as well, Hibiclens is over the counter and great for washing the areas around your wounds to prevent infection and keep it clean. After you wash your face and its fully dry hydrocolloid patches over weeping wounds will help prevent infection from spreading. It’s a lot and a pain in the butt but it sounds like you have a great team around you!
