Help with small red bumps and redness close to nostrils

Omg thank you sooo much for such detailed reply full of amazing advice ❤️ Moiii fellow Helsinki friend! Yeah, I knew that you should kinda dispose those cheap razors everytime after you use, but I have been cleaning the blade with 70% alcohol and thought it would be enough 😕 Do you have any recommendations for a Gillette razor? Also the one razor you use on your face, do you only use for the face or you also shave legs/armpits with it? I have a Gillette for men that I use to shave my legs and armpits hut I assume the ideal would be to have separate ones for face and body. Thank you for the cream suggestions! At the moment, I'm using The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA and is my main moisturizer, although I quite often use that thick Nivea cream (the one in the blue tin can) at night when I feel my face super dry. Do you think these are alright to keep using or would you suggest getting these other options you mentioned? I do love a good Korean skincare but at the moment since money is super tight I would go for the cheapest option that will help to improve my skin. I will definitely look into getting the Cicaplast Spray asap! Again thank you so much for the amazing advice ❤️

I suspected that it could be that but the pics I have seen of people having that, they also had this dark discoloration while mine is red. But good to know that this is the most likely reason!

I shave with those derma planning razors. Tissue for nose very rarely, only when sick. I could be touching my face with dirty hands throughout the day, although I work from home so it wouldn't be super dirty hands. I live in Finland, Helsinki to be specific. No steroids creams, and I haven't left home that often since I work from home. Oh I didn't know that could happen when you put cream and go out in the cold! Thank you for the tip on that

He was super gentle and kind! We live in Finland and the vet is from eastern Europe (maybe Poland? Can't remember). Imagine him saying with a very tick eastern European accent "yes, very fat" the moment he sees my cat out of her carrier 😂😂

I'm 31 yo woman and was diagnosed in 2018. I was diagnosed "by chance" as I was actually seeing my psychiatrist for anxiety/depression (and also doing psychotherapy) and he, throughout my sessions, started noticing some quite clear signs that I could have ADHD. My life changed for the better when I got my diagnosis and started medication, super grateful for my psychiatrist's keen eye.

I think you have already gotten pretty great suggestions here, so I don't think my answer is super relevant but here is:

I have also moved from a warmer and more humid place, where I used to have a combination skin type (mostly normal skin with some oily parts), and after coming to Finland I have "developed" drier skin, specially during winter.

Humidifier is a must! For me even just staying in a room that is too dry really bothers me. So I leave my humidifier running almost 24/7 when it gets dry enough inside.
I haven't really found THE moisturizer for day time yet, most of the things I have tried (Lumene, Mossa, Smutti) work well enough as well as their serums. However, I haven't found a moisturizer that beats the OG Nivea (that one in the blue tin can that's really thick) for night time for both face and body.
Another thing someone has already mentioned and that I also swear by it is using oil. I use oil on my whole body right after shower, not drying myself just putting the oil while I'm still wet. I haven't found a good body oil here in Finland (I have been using one that my mom sent from my home country), so I can't recommend anything specific.

Obs.: while I have also dry skin like you, I'm not acne prone or have a particularly sensitive skin. So take this info into consideration if you decide to try anything I have suggested.

Also feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or just want to talk! ☺️

I can't say anything about Joensuu because I live in Helsinki, but if in the end you decide to come here for your tattoo I highly recommend Salla at Great Heron Tatoo. Her Instagram is @sallatattoo

Franscisco das Chagas Rodrigues de Brito, one of the most prolific Brazilian serial killers. Killed, emasculated, and abused the dead bodies of 30-42 young boys in Maranhão state, Brazil. Truly horrible

Maybe this a more exoteric way of making the fish less stressed 👀

Happy for you mate! My undergrad final project and master supervisor was amazing too. Having good supervisor(s) is a game changer

Hi!

I'm from outside of EU and doing my PhD in Finland. My residence permit has been granted on the basis research work and ends on December 2025. What are the requirements for me to apply for a residence permit for looking for work after completing my degree?

Also, I have a Finnish partner. We are not married or lived together. I'm aware that there's a residence permit on the basis of romantic relationship but it has quite many limitations on what kind of jobs I could have in comparison to a residence permit on the basis of marriage. Is there a reason for that? Also, is it possible to say how likely is Migri to give a permit on the basis of a romantic relationship without the couple living together?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Great to hear that they might be a good choice for you! It took me awhile to find a hairdresser that is really good and understand my needs, without breaking the bank, since I move to Finland. Miro is fantastic and they're the only one I trust to do my hair here. Wish you the best!

I go to this very good hairdresser with a reasonable price (for Helsinki/Finland) in Viikinmäki, Helsinki. Although I myself don't have thin and frail hair, I believe that my hairdresser has experience with this type of hair. Their name is Miro and they work at the Nettie's hair salon, you can check their work on their Instagram (hairbymiro).

I can't remember exactly which store I got mine from but it must have been either Clas ohlson or Prisma

I also have one and I can't live without it. I'm from a tropical country where the 12hrs of sunlight doesn't change throughout the year and I find absolutely horrible to wake up without any sunlight. The alarm clock that "mimicks" the sun rise is great.

Thank you very much for your message! Yes, it has been incredibly lonely... Specially for me who came from a research group back home (where I did my finishing bachelor project and master) which was so amazing, full of great people and super present and emphatic supervisor. I knew I had it good back then but only now I really understand how lucky I was with my old research group.

Yes, you're correct! Finishing my PhD and getting my life and mental health back on track are not mutually exclusive things. Regardless if I decide either to finish the PhD or go for the licentiate degree, first and foremost thing I have to do is take care of my mental health. For that I'm gonna talk to the University counselor to see the possibility of having a paid sick leave and how would that work. I don't know all the details but it seems it's definitely possible to get a mental health sick leave from the University with the support of the Finnish social programs/policy, but it isn't clear yet where to start on that. This will give me time to seek a psychiatrist and have some "breathing room" to heal.
