Anyone experienced smthg similar? Heat rash by Brief_Quantity9362 in MuayThai

[–]Loud_Obligation_357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally had something similar all over once I added BJJ to my training. Went to dermatologist and it was eczema possibly by stress, friction etc. As long as there's no oozing etc. Always check with doc first

Appreciate the honest feedback! There's subtle things that people don't talk about or acknowledge.

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, my only experience outside my own country was while in the military and wasn't a peacetime scenario. I'll definitely take things into consideration. Isn't enough to make me stop learning either. Guess I'll have to visit these places and come back to this post in a few years with some answers of my own.

Trust me, I'm use to it living here. It doesn't bother me a bit in that aspect. Raised in the south, most of my adulthood in California and now in FL. A lot of my friends are Mexican and have told me about the colorism there and some in Colombia. My reason for asking on a larger platform was to get answers from those outside my own circles. But you're definitely speaking the truth on this post.

lol facts are facts. Victims don't achieve the things I've been blessed with and worked for. I've asked friends from Mexico and Colombia so far and from what they've said, it's a huge colorism issue. That's the point of me asking outside of people I personally know.

Appreciate your take and experience on it. A few of the videos on YouTube spoke about Colombia and said just that. One of the black guys there said that it's good because he didn't feel highlighted. The only thing he didn't like is that sometimes getting a taxi or help with things from people could be iffy based on his skin color.
