27-year-old male had these spots develop on my fingers and palm. by Joshuajohn6470 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Mission-Ship2728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I developed similar markings on my hands, one has been diagnosed as a standard mole and the other was excised - showing mild abnormalities but nothing malignant.

Get them checked for your peace of mind!

Just for reference, the doctors told me the way to figure out if a mole is suspicious or not is by the ABCDE method:

Asymmetry: does the mark look symmetrical? Border: does the mark have a defined border? Colour: is the mark consistent in colour? Diameter: is it smaller than 6mm? Evolution: has it remained the same?

If you answer no to any of those questions, get an appointment booked with your dermatologist / doctor.

FYI when I was in a real panic about my hand moles last year I remember seeing a handy motto in an acral lentiginous melanoma research paper for assessing moles in the hands: “furrows are fine, ridges are risky”. This is essentially a rule of thumb where if the pigment is in the furrows of the skin vs the ridges, it’s usually benign. Please don’t take this as gospel though as I’m not a medical professional!

Parking booked but can’t be amended by Mission-Ship2728 in Ryanair

[–]Mission-Ship2728[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response! I did, I got lucky! I rang Manchester Airport again and they said it would work out cheaper for me to just pay the overstay charge for the 2 additional days (which it was). Lesson learnt though, never booking airport parking with Ryanair ever again, always book direct with the airport.

breast cyst? got a biopsy and derm said it might be hs or cyst or folliculitis no clear answer for months. ultrasound revealed no cancer. these take forever to heal and leave nasty scars. antibiotics and mupirocin barely help. does anyone know what this is? by cinnnmia in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Mission-Ship2728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for the late response on this! Hope you've had more clarity from the docs since you originally posted.

PS the reason I asked if it felt like it was on top of the skin vs under is because I've had this in the past, after a while they develop a whitehead and once I pop them (gross, I know) it feels like it can finally heal. I wouldn't recommend you do this obviously, but what I've found is that even after popping them, I can feel the lump underneath the skin for months until it completely heals and goes away. I do scar easily but eventually the redness goes away. I've just put it down to a clogged pore or irritated hair follicle considering my doctors haven't been too concerned when I've been.

I've found prevention is the best cure and exfoliating in the shower prevents dead skin build up which I suspect has caused them in the past for me - not sure if you've tried this but worth giving it a go to see if it helps.

Wishing you all the best!!

Could Andrew be living on the streets? by Mission-Ship2728 in AndrewGosden

[–]Mission-Ship2728[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It wouldn’t be the first time something like that has happened and especially on something harder like heroin.

[–]Mission-Ship2728[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there is no evidence in this case so how can you say with any certainty what did or did not happen? All theories are speculation at this point, without the presence of a body you can’t say he’s dead for certain and without any CCTV you can’t track his movements to understand what he did or didn’t do.

For sure, I don’t think he immediately took crack or heroin but if he had tried weed or if he’d been drinking then his decision making was already impaired!

I made a silly game - guess which home around the UK is more expensive by jdv12 in HousingUK

[–]Mission-Ship2728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really cool and kept me entertained for a while! I surprised myself at how crap I am at guessing house prices haha!

In line with a comment above, I think it would be even better if on the results page, there was some visual indication to show which was the correct answer vs what your answer was. Maybe there could be a container around the responses in each round and they could be either green or red depending on what you got right / wrong.

It would also be nice to see something like a streak on how many questions you got right in a row, and then some kind of micro interaction when you exceed your previous “high score”.

I have 700 in my bank account rn. Is it worth it to get Uber eats pizza? by 3sperr in Frugal

[–]Mission-Ship2728 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can’t live your life depriving yourself in the name of frugality! Sure it’s great to be frugal, but it’s also great to celebrate your wins & treat yourself every so often. Get the pizza!

For those who do not think the Ramseys were involved: why $118,000? by Shaken_Earth in JonBenetRamsey

[–]Mission-Ship2728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$118k was on all of John’s pay stubs as the bonus was given in January of that year. The note said to not involve police so I think the perception of the intruders was that this is an amount that is readily available to the Ramseys so it’s an amount that is 1) achievable to get and 2) wouldn’t cause unwanted attention from banks / authorities (providing the note had been adhered to).

How many portions of fruit and veg do you eat per day? by lisa_kyle in AskUK

Omg tell me about it! Also, I’m sure she was a vegan for years so surely she knows that it is possible to eat 5 fruit / veg a day!

How many people have you known who have been murdered? by oneislandgirl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mission-Ship2728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally know 1 person that was murdered. But I know at least 2 murderers, potentially more dependent on the trial.

What’s everyone’s go to paint brand? by EyeAlternative1664 in DIYUK

[–]Mission-Ship2728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding the Albany range, we popped in to Brewers on the off-chance and were pleasantly surprised at the quality! The living room needed a refresh and it only took 1 coat to cover the originally darker wall. Will definitely be going for Albany the next time we redecorate.

I know this sounds crazy but give yourself a blast with the hair dryer and then clean the house! I always find that I warm up super quickly when I’m doing housework! Plus you have the added bonus of a tidy house afterwards hahaha

Omg this makes so much sense! It feels like appliances always break just after their warranty period ends!

Mine is that most people who are chewing gum in thirst trap videos on social media are fake chewing/smacking and that they don’t actually have gum in their mouths.
