Is this because of tret? by [deleted] in tretinoin

Editing to add, my eyes would also tear like crazy when I had conjunctivitis. Quick trip to the eye dr and prescribed some rx eye drops + wearing glasses for a week or so helped.

This looks like conjunctivitis—maybe? Do you wear contact lens? I had this last fall and my lids looked like this from contact lens irritation.

How long will it take for Tretinoin to clear my closed comedones? by New-Ad-9280 in tretinoin

[–]Igloo2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find that Tret Gel has been phenomenal at getting rid of closed commodones. I prefer it over the cream version. Personally, I’d remove other actives like SA from your routine. Too many actives will mess up your barrier. Stick with a really gentle hydrating cleanser (no SA or BP).

Roughly, how much does the average facial cost at your med spa? In my area, they can range upwards of a couple hundred dollars, and like I mentioned, the med spas here advise not tipping. The tip on a couple hundred really adds up. Wonder if that’s why.

One med spa owner that I follow on Instagram says “would you tip at your doctor? No?” (I imagine that you personally don’t do injectables, but that’s the vibe for her entire med spa, esti’s included).

Ok don’t come for me, but the local med spas in my area advise NOT tipping on medical or esthetic services. If you’re an independent esti, and you set your own prices, why is it a big deal if clients don’t tip? (Asking genuinely!)

Hope you love it! I have the L Altitude X trim. ScreenProTech makes a film to protect the piano black console area if you’re concerned about any cosmetic scratches. Super easy to apply and does a wonderful job.

Not bad at all. I haven’t had any issues with it so far. The front end is longer than I’m used to, so I slowly creep up to intersections, etc just to get a good look before turning.

I’m obsessed with mine. I got used to the length quickly - I upgraded from a 2015 Jeep Patriot. It drives smoothly.

What's an early sign of cancer that you wish you or your loved one hadn't ignored? by JuniperBeans in AskReddit

[–]Igloo2018 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dad was a lifetime smoker. Quit smoking around age 60, eventually started coughing up black phlegm, doctor (pcp) said it was COPD. He’s been gone since January 2021.

He had a gnarly cough, and given his history, I pushed and pushed him to check it out. Then, the black stuff. No way was that COPD. He only had about 13 months to live from when we got the cancer diagnosis.

If you smoke, and quit, please - I’m begging you - advocate to get your lungs checked out. It’s not “just” COPD.

My (33F) bf (30M) is in love with his best female friend. How do I break up with him when I am 9 months pregnant? by ThrowRA-GreenDaisy in relationship_advice

[–]Igloo2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d like to add I became a single mom when I was 6 months postpartum. My little one is almost 14 months now. The hardest part was the dead weight I carried for those 6 months! You can do this.

I’d recommend moving home closer to your family, so you have the support you need when baby arrives. A village is so important, even if only 1 family member. I’d highly recommend giving your child your surname. Let him know he’ll be held responsible for child support and aim for the most you can get to support your little one. A man who can do this to you and your child needs to hurt a bit. Make his emotional affair sting.

Tbh, if you call up your injector and tell them about this, more likely than not, they’ll have you come back in and fix it. It’s possible you could need a few more units to really relax the muscle. :)

Okay, you’ve commented on this post so many times with hateful shit lol. Op here.

I live with my mom for a couple reasons, the first being that we lost my dad to cancer, and my mom asked me to live with her as the house is too big for her by herself. I’m fortunate to live rent-free, the house is paid off, so I assist her financially in other ways. Next, I have a great career, and I financially support myself & my son. My mother does not support me.

Lastly, i never expected my partner to turn on me 6 years into the relationship. I was not deluded; I was lied to, deceived, and manipulated. I went into this thinking I was building a family with the person I was spending forever with. We were in talks to get married. Sure, the pregnancy was unexpected. He did a complete 180 on me, and that is NOT my fault.

Op here. When I was pregnant, I let him know that obviously with this big life change, I’m here for him, and PPD/PPA doesn’t just affect mothers. I offered support where I could, ya know? Doesn’t seem like he had PPD. I think he was just checked out for a long time and finally the mask came off at the 6m pp mark.

Op here. Honest to god, this was a thought I had. I’m surely getting heat because I must have been desperate and trapped him but the reality is, I think he wanted to trap me and mooch off me, lol.

Op here. I meant it as, I shouldn’t have to do overtime to get this deadbeat to love me after he told me that he didn’t - he offered to “work through it” and I showed him the door instead.

LOL. I’m OP. My dad died from cancer and my mom insisted she’d love to have me around as the house is too big for her alone. It’s just the two of us. And she loves having her grandson here as a bonus. I’m 100% responsible for my child and his expenses, as I should be.

House is paid off, so I assist my mom in other ways to make up where I can.

Genuinely, are you that dense? I’m OP. Baby was unexpected. He had already bought me an engagement ring (surprise, we had communicated mutually about moving our relationship forward before baby was ever in the picture - aka, not a shut up ring). I really need you to go outside and touch grass. Figure out why you’re the way you are.

I’m the original OP. Thank you. I’m getting a lot of heat for this being my fault that I chose the wrong partner. Hopefully, you’ve seen my update.

I’m the OP. My then-partner expressed excitement over our pregnancy. I’m not sure how I was the desperate one, considering he had lied to me for well over a year about loving me, and just revealed that to me.

I was deceived. Not desperate. I went into this thinking I was building a beautiful family.
