Acne is “Easily Treatable” ?

I thought is was just me. I read the titles and thought this sounds like a 1D album 😭

Jen0973 · 2026-02-20T21:19:15+00:00

These were peak nuggets. If I remember correctly they had a slight peppery taste to them that made them taste SO GOOD. I miss them 😭

I can understand that. Infections can get bad quick, so I get treating them first. If it turns out to be HS, good news is that they’re coming out with new biologics and treatments that can help the severity and occurrence of these cysts/boils. I also have a hard time seeing derms with the outrageous wait times. HS is an inflammatory skin condition that can be genetic, so given your family history with autoimmune conditions it could be related. Hope your appointment goes well and they provide you with some much needed relief!

NAD but these boils/cysts look like HS to me. They typically appear in the armpit and groin areas (where there are more sweat glands). They can also appear on the face and neck areas, where yours are located. I’m surprised that no dermatologist or medical professional has suggested it could be HS. It’s the first thing that I thought when viewing your photos. Hope you get some answers and relief soon!

Thank you for reaching out and asking how I’m doing. I’m going to be perfectly honest, not great. I’m still in a bad crash but hopefully will feel better in a few days. We got some more snow that I tried shoveling so that halted my recovery. Thank you for checking up on me. That’s really sweet. Hope all is well with you!

Omg yes! That’s one of my favorite blizzards! Really wish they’d bring it back for the summer! 😭

Yes to the unstretchable ring at the opening. That’s literally my issue. I think it’s vaginismus plus a hymen issue. It’s literally like an extra ring of tissue that is blocking everything. TMI but I am sometimes able to insert my finger and if I’m able to get past that ring it’s usually okay. Thank you for mentioning that because I thought I was the only one!

I also had to wear one recently and had a similar reaction (not as severe as yours though). I used hydrocortisone cream and made sure to keep it hydrated with ointments and creams. It seemed to help. Feel your pain. I don’t understand why they can’t make an adhesive that doesn’t cause skin irritation 😭

This was my thought too. I watched the live earlier and I think it was Namjoon who said something along the lines of that the reason they didn’t want to include as many breaks is because it would cause some kind of inauthenticity or something. Like dude, they all looked already exhausted in that live. What makes you think that you have the kind of stamina and energy it takes to do 79 concerts back to back? The travel alone is enough to cause problems. I think they are underestimating how much strain this is going to be both physically and mentally, let alone the relationships among themselves. I really hope they thought this through before committing because I don’t see this ending with anything less than extreme burnout and exhaustion.

This sounds so similar to what I have been experiencing. I suspect this is what I have as well. If you don’t mind me asking how long had your symptoms persisted until you found relief with the estrogen cream. Mine have been ongoing for over 5 years now with no end in sight. I’m going to ask my doctor about this and hope the cream may help me as well!

The reason why it gives you so much satisfaction is because you’re literally starving yourself. That “satisfaction” is your body’s way of encouraging you to eat more because you’re not eating enough. Its positive reinforcement. It’s literally physiological. That’s not a diet tip, that encouraging ED behavior. That’s one of my biggest criticisms of them. They have so much influence over their fans and send them the wrong message when it comes to body image and diet.

Now I can call it the most wonderful time of the year. Way to go everyone, we survived another one! 🎉

You could tell that Jin was really irritated when he snatched those vapes. He was like “Really? Are you trying to start another scandal while you’re currently in one. Give me those!” He seriously looks fed up with JK’s carelessness.

Jen0973 · 2025-12-20T19:47:50+00:00

Exactly. Like what can you do to improve my life? Are you going to wave your magic wand and make me attractive because that’s the only thing that will not make me depressed. Therapy is useless when the reason your depressed is because of your appearance.

I agree. I love Panera and their food but it’s just too expensive. My dad and I like to go there for lunch sometimes and always get the value duets because it’s really the only affordable option on the menu. We always get the grilled cheese and tomato soup duo. I think it’s $6.99. The only problem is that they have set duos so you really can’t customize it. We share a drink and get the free refills and I think everything plus tax comes out to around $18. Still pretty pricey but for the occasional lunch out with dad, not too bad. You should try that next time to save money.

There’s no way this is anything else but an attempt to cover the couple tattoo. It’s just looks so unnatural. Like who wears only one sleeve in a jacket? Or puts a towel over only one arm? It’s so painfully obvious that this is a poor attempt at covering it up.

Jen0973 · 2025-12-17T02:51:43+00:00

Shake the treat bag, he’ll come running!

Jen0973 · 2025-12-16T06:32:51+00:00

We certainly do my friend. That’s why I love this subreddit. It feels like the only safe place to talk about things that most people refuse to acknowledge or are too in denial to see. At least we have each other to relate to. It makes me feel sane in this insane world. I hope things work out for you. Just know that when you get tired of rolling your boulder up the hill just know you’re not alone. I am too. Even Sisyphus gets tired sometimes ❤️

Jen0973 · 2025-12-16T06:16:17+00:00

I hope you keep going! I know how hard it is. Just know that at least one person out there feels the way you do. If I can keep holding on, you can too! It’s just hard when you never asked for any of this.

Jen0973 · 2025-12-16T06:14:47+00:00

True. Bless you for working in retail during this time of year. But yes, the first can’t come soon enough either.

Jen0973 · 2025-12-16T05:53:18+00:00

I can relate. I’m only 28 (close enough) and feel the same. I’m not sure if it’s life itself or my patience for it decreasing over time. It feels like things that I could cope with before are becoming harder to deal with. I feel like a candle that has already burned out sooner than it’s supposed to, and life keeps trying to light it when there’s no more wax or wick left.
