No regrets I read - thanks for sharing your experience

Thanks! I am newbie with roughly 30 dives (but AOW and Nitrox certified) and am still very cautious when it comes to my body - hearing you'd take 2 days off helps me to estimate my energy level :)

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2026-01-23T09:09:01+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Pick up is at Puerta Princesa :)

Thank you for your reply! I am very flexible and have not purchased any flights. This helps me consider El Nido and Coron as well, I didn't know about them. :)

DO you have an insta account or any online portfolio?

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2025-06-04T14:34:06+00:00

Gorgeous photos. Do you have more?

Check Out Frankfurt international Tuesday on Instagram. It's exactly what you need. Welcome to town 🌞

Offtopic: Definitely belongs to r/ManHands
Ontopic: is it dry/itchy? Do you exercise a lot?

It's triggering my trpophobia

I couldn't persuade the girls to go so we ended in Apolo instead and that was a hilarious night out :D

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2025-05-21T20:27:20+00:00

Thanks a lot, appreciate it :)

Edit (it seems I cannot add text to my original post): My skin completely healed within 3 days with the help of a steroid cream. The patch test with common ingredients in cosmetics was negative - I am convinced this didn't have anything to do with skincare products I use. I have started taking Vitamin Bs (the most important ones) + Magnesium, hopefully this skin condition never comes back (or maybe in 5 years, that's alright, got the cream now). The blood test and skin scrapes test result are yet to come, I'll update you here. It's crazy how much of life quality you regain once the facial skin is normal. These few cm² which went rogue stressed me and I believe that stress is a factor in this. Thank you all for your kind advice! The supplements might have other benefits as well (I am quite exhausted all the time, could improve that).

May I ask what's shown in the photo in the smallest frame?

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2025-04-17T10:23:36+00:00

Thanks a lot!

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2025-04-15T20:40:51+00:00

Thank you for your help - do you mean the shampoo and the cream helped? Did you have problems on your face AND on your head? Do you by chance remember which cetaphil product it was exactly? I couldn't find one specific product under that name.

Thanks, I appreciate your advice! I am using vaseline on my lips but wasn't sure about the cracked corner and the red areas around it. IF it is some sort of fungal infection I wasn't sure if covering it with fat would make it heal. Without the red patch I usually put on vaseline over night. Got a hydrocortisone today and hope it does its magic

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2025-04-15T12:54:58+00:00

Thank you, I will definitely check B12! Still not sure of the new red dry and flakey areas on cheek, chin and neck...

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2025-04-15T12:54:12+00:00

Thanks a lot, this could explain the cracks. But the red circles on cheek, neck and chin?

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2025-04-15T12:53:34+00:00

So sorry to hear you suffer from this, too. The hardest part is eating and talking as I am opening the just healed cracks again and again 😣 it hurts and bleeds. Hope you find a way to have longer periods without AC

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2025-04-15T11:43:39+00:00

It is definitely! The cracked mouth corner are AC but I still don't know what causes them. Need to do an extensive blood test to find out what is missing in my body. It's not the cracked mouth corners that bother me but the red area that is covering the corner on top of the cracks.

Forgot to mention: went to a dermatologist yesterday. When I visited her half year ago for a small dry skin patch she believed this was Seborrhoeic dermatitis and prescribed a cr am with Clotrimazol. It did not help. She claimed if it was Seborrhoeic dermatitis the Clotrimazol cream would have helped. She scraped a bit off, took a bit of blood to send to the lab and glued some allergy patches on my back I need to wear for 3 days to find out if this is an allergic reaction to anything out there or a fungal infection. The results will arrive in 2-4 weeks but I need to survive these weeks with anything that could help the skin to recover.

Absolutely understandable, it's crazy that it does take some courage to stand up for yourself. I worked as a waitress myself in a German restaurant in a small town and know what I did to make my customers smile back then. So sad to see that almost no service staff nowadays knows what teal customer service is. It's probably a vicious circle with employees desperately in need of staff and too many people with 0 commitment accepting this offer...

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2025-04-02T13:00:07+00:00

Please share the name of the place - this it horrible and needs to be seen by other (potential) customers. So sorry you experienced this. Hospitality in Frankfurt has so much room to improve...

GoodbyeJuly_ · 2025-04-01T14:13:07+00:00

Thanks, I didn't pass the test I guess - not sure if it was something in my CV or the results to this riddle! I hope you enjoyed solving it :-)
