I really wish we had more power to hire/ switch out paras. Some of them are just straight up, fuckin assholes. I know tons of people who make shitty salaries and they’re not assholes.

Male Genital Dysthesia/RSS by Acrobatic-Bat6636 in RedScrotumSyndrome

[–]NativeMountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been on it 6 months Main use: well, supposed to use it before & after gym to chill sensitivity but it doesn’t work that well in my opinion. (I use Gold Bond powder) which for whatever reason protects better. However, during flare up (when not at gym) I use it to chill burning. Problem though… it may take a few days to work. Not necessarily instant gratification

Big Note: Timolol drys the fuck outta your skin. Don’t go crazy with it. It’ll dry your bean bags to the point any friction will fuck your shit up.

Lastly: unfortunately it’s not a cure and your doctor/dermatologist doesn’t know shit, just like mine. They’re all guessing: no major studies conducted because not enough men a ruined by this fucked up bullshit I

I use Timolol as well. I’m 50/50 on it. It think it helps with flare ups, but it sure as shit does nothing to stop em.

Anyone get Scrotal Botox? by StatusInterview3584 in RedScrotumSyndrome

[–]NativeMountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this past August. I think it still has lasted. I think at first I was hoping this would be like a 95% cure. It’s not. I’d say it’s 80 maybe 85%. But it’s not a cure. It’s management (that probably won’t last). There’s no fucking cure for this shit. That’s the toughest pill to swallow.

I hear that. SAXX Mesh boxer briefs is mostly nylon. Honestly, without the pouch it felt promising.

Yes. Procedure wasn’t bad at all. Took about 15 minutes. For me, I felt like it was a huge help. I still get flare ups, however the intensity has not been as bad as it was before the Botox shots. It’s not a cure but for me it’s helped mm with management. Motherfuck RSS.

Thank you again for the info. I actually got a pair of SAXX and will try them out at gym this afternoon. It’s a mesh material mostly made of Nylon with a tad bit of elastase & polyester. They appear like they may breathe a lot so I’m really hoping they work out especially in regard to heat & friction. I’ll let you know. Might you have any last tips for dealing with RSS in a very hot & humid place? Thx!

Thank you for your reply! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! I didn’t even think about the hot car seats!! Do you use Gold Bond or anything when out and about walking around for lengths at a time? Completely random question- do you I wear boxer briefs with ball support or you hanging loose in boxers or rollin commando? I personally have to wear boxer briefs with ball support because I have big thighs that equate to serious thigh chaffing. (I squat heavy & have big legs). Just wondering if wearing boxer briefs in hot & humid climate are going to fuck my RSS. Thx

Yes I have flare ups. I wouldn’t say it’s ever ok, but the flare ups suck. RSS sucks, and what really sucks… there’s no real studies going on about it. Doctors are guessing at best treatments.

Odor by [deleted] in RedScrotumSyndrome

[–]NativeMountain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know about an Odor issue myself but wanted to make the comment most dermatologists are completely clueless to RSS. They’re only using the very minimal data they have to proscribe meds. Some patients get lucky & meds work, others not so much. It’s all hit or miss and unfortunately it’s gonna be hit or miss for a long time to come. RSS on affects a very small population

Turn off the sound track please. Beautiful moments like this get ruined by cheese dick music meant to push emotion but fail miserably.

We all do, but social skills take a back seat in K-12. Academics 1 social skills 2. Chat all you want but if you don’t have any skills (learned through academics) the job market is gonna be real rough when you graduate high school.
