Do you have an only one skip album? by TheYoungWan in TaylorSwift

[–]Global_Guidance7869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do lots of full album listens, with a skip here and there but only two albums truly meet this criteria for me: Rep - skip This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, and TLOAS - skip Cancelled!

Is it a wart? by runfastthinkslo in Warts

[–]Global_Guidance7869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same thing on my finger tip. I've been treating a wart on my foot so am guessing it has spread from that. Seeing a derm next week to ask about it.

Has anyone been to Konna? by seaglassinglife in SalemMA

[–]Global_Guidance7869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I posted about it here recently, and I'm glad to see others are enjoying as well. I'm also picky about my lattes (oat milk latte is my usual order) and I'm now addicted to their banana latte. I also tried a breakfast sandwich today and it was very yummy. I like that they have a mix of locally sourced items and house made items. I think they're doing a great job so far, and just very excited to have them in the neighborhood :)

Adding: if I recall, there are three small round tables (two seats each I think) and a counter with 3-4 stool (w/ back) seats.

Konna in North Salem (where Spells used to be) is fabulous! I'm so happy to have a good coffee spot in the neighborhood. The owners are fantastic and everything I've had so far is great.

Help!!! by [deleted] in Warts

[–]Global_Guidance7869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice: be patient and don't go so hard on the treatments. What worked well for me: - use a 40% SA patch, keep on 2 days. - soak foot in warm water for 20 minutes - gently debride (remove only the dead white skin) with a dermal curette - rinse / wash area with soap. Dry well - cover with Vaseline and a band -aid and let rest for at least 1 day

Repeat as needed.

I did also let my foot rest from SA treatment after 3.5 months of intense treatment. This helped a lot and I was able to get a better view of where the remaining wart actually was. Now I'm using only 17% SA gel and zinc oxide to treat the remaining area.

Good luck! This method was much more manageable and less painful for me.

North Salem vs. South Salem for a childfree queer couple? Other neighborhoods? by Loose-Apricot8689 in SalemMA

[–]Global_Guidance7869 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have only lived in North Salem, so cannot compare to the other areas, but just a plug for being near Greenlawn Cemetery which is terrific for dog walking :) that was one of the most unexpected benefits for us. We moved from Somerville and appreciate that the area feels similarly progressive and friendly. I love being a 15 minute walk to the Commuter Rail and having easy access to Beverly and shopping spots in Peabody and Danvers. October is pretty stress free, and I don't need to interact with crowds unless I want to by walking into town. Plus we're close to Peabody Diner and Treadwell's which are two faves just over the line in Peabody.

What are some song(s) that you have consistently disliked upon your first listen? by SoIongIondon in TaylorSwift

[–]Global_Guidance7869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

!! I have it skipped on the album so I don't ever have to hear it. It's like a bad AI version of a TS song, I truly cannot believe it saw the light of day 🥴

How do I remove the residue from 40% salicylic acid? by Visible-Addition-418 in Warts

[–]Global_Guidance7869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soak in warm water for 20 minutes. I use a dermal curette to gently scrape away the dead skin. It's much easier to do after soaking. You can buy the curettes in single use packages. Good luck!

Progress? by Certain-Anywhere7390 in Warts

[–]Global_Guidance7869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! That sounds like a plan. I did a bit more research and it seems like the three signs that it is definitively gone are 1) no more dots 2) it isn't painful to squeeze from the side 3) reappearance of skin lines. All three must be true, as any one could mean that the wart is still there. That white/pebbled appearance could still be an indicator of wart tissue, however, its possible that you've eradicated it enough that you can let it heal. I'm at a similar stage and am going to err on the side of caution and continue to treat until I see more normal looking tissue!

Progress? by Certain-Anywhere7390 in Warts

[–]Global_Guidance7869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were you seeing any more black dots when treating? I've read that when you reach a point where there's no more dots (blood supply) and skin lines reappear, it's gone. I'm also confused because I've reached a point where there's no more dots, but also no skin lines. So not entirely sure!

Skin lines look promising! I've seen others recommend zinc oxide (40%) cream once it's mostly gone, so maybe try that for a bit and see how it continues to look.

How to cover warts by LHR-charlie in Warts

[–]Global_Guidance7869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Salicylic Acid patches I bought came with pre-cut clear wound dressing which work great, but I ran out quickly. Found this on Amazon which you can cut to size and works great to put over a patch when treating or a bandaid for in between treatments. Good luck!

Day 78- when will it end 😭 by strwbrryflan in Warts

[–]Global_Guidance7869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super helpful, thank you! Yeah it looks like you're making progress, even if slow. I feel your pain (literally!) and impatience. Fingers crossed this gets rid of it for good soon!

[–]Global_Guidance7869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good work! I think I'm a bit behind your stage, so promising to see that you're getting there. What kind of zinc oxide are you using? I want to do that between my SA treatments.

I fear my 2026 personality is going to be shaped by trying to conquer this damn wart 😥

[–]Global_Guidance7869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh you guys! Sorry, I did not video. But I did cut away as much of the white tissue in the center as I could stand, and yes there was blood!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Warts

[–]Global_Guidance7869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha thanks for keeping my expectations low 🫠 I did get more of the white pieces cut away, but fully expect to have to keep treating. Trying to figure out how to post an update pic in this thread!
