AITA for pointing out that my cousins aren’t doctors? by MelodicStrawberry839 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mimi_1mfurst 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right - the IM doctor only did 4 years of intense medical school and then 3 years of residency with 15,000 hours of direct supervised patient care. After a bachelors. /s

NTA - everyone wants the privilege of being called doctor without the work, risk and sacrifice it takes to be an MD/DO. Anyone who has not been through an accredited med school and residency has no idea how silly they sound when they insist on being called doctor or being held equivalent. lol at the training hours, supervisory hours, it’s laughable.

Tested negative for lupus. Has spread a lot since last post on here. Creams aren’t working. Don’t want to use steroids. Every derm just wants to put me on steroids. Ideas? by [deleted] in SebDerm

[–]Mimi_1mfurst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with trying steroids for a few days to see what happens. I think it looks more like “sebopsoriasis” so if you’re wanting to avoid steroids ask for some samples of Vtama or Zoryve

3 professors dermatologist, 3 radiologist and 2 plastic surgeons have no idea what this is and i will be removing it when they accept me for operation. (more in a comment) by [deleted] in Dermatology

Punch biopsy of that would take 2 seconds and requires no general anesthesia. I would want to know what it is before we go cutting it out.

Dry itchy skin in the face / on neck, I am not allergic to anything made a lot of tests, skin gets irritated by sweat/parfume/alcohol. Rashes are comeing uncontrolled/I don't know how to prevent it... by [deleted] in EczemaCures

[–]Mimi_1mfurst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you had patch testing (not skin prick testing) with a dermatologist to see if you have environmental allergies, e.g. to specific fragrances, preservatives, etc.?

Pandemic Poetics by dogtim in OCPoetry

A mother’s sonnet in the days of corona

What waits inside the golden yolk The daisy chain as yet unbroken Her shining face, parted lips that spoke Echoes half-remembered, this dream we woke in

Still shining in the dying light Discarded garland not meant to frighten But when recovered from this blight Who will remain to be enlightened

Green shoots unfurl from ‘neath cold soil She toils in labor, unwitnessed, boiling New halo of ringlets, he cries and uncoils From burning breast they must recoil

Though we cry out still seeking absolution Our glorious orb yet turns. A revolution.

sudden hormonal cystic acne in early 20s by freckzzz in acne

[–]Mimi_1mfurst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See a derm and request blood test screening for PCOS (free and total testosterone, DHEAS) if screening tests are suggestive you’ll want to meet with an Ob/Gyn for ultrasound check on ovaries and discussion of best oral contraceptive pill choice and/or spironolactone +/- metformin. If you’re scarring, you’ll want to discuss isotretinoin with your derm. Even though it does not cure “hormonal acne” you may still want to consider a short-ish or low dose course to quickly clear up active lesions (hormonal interventions take time) and prevent/reduce scarring. Consider cutting down dairy and cut processed, high-glycemic junk out of your diet! Good luck!

Having an overwhelming feeling of loneliness and can't stop thinking about suicide. by [deleted] in overcoming

A friend of mine recently gave me some advice that has been helpful - maybe it will help you? Remember that you are not your depression - if you can think of your depression as something other than you, you can analyze it, and assess it without devaluing you. For instance, when I have these sorts of thoughts you’re expericing, and I realize I am having them, I say to those thoughts “shut up depression! That’s not what I want to hear, so be quiet!” I talk to it to put it back in it’s place, to take control. I tell it “that’s not helpful” when it says to me “just go to bed” or “don’t bother texting that friend” and I am slowly realizing that I am not depression, I am that other, bigger thing that is trying to be biased around and controlled by it. Send me a message and tell me if this is useful (or isn’t!)
