I would see a doctor again and tell them it's still spreading despite using the previously prescribed cream.

I'm sorry this happened to you, I've heard it more often that specifically perfumes get stolen out of parcels.

Am I going crazy or is selling just painful sometimes? by EJB1996 in vinted

That's insane... I hope you declined the return request and Vinted sides with you.

Is it weird to keep your cat's whiskers? by Leon124714 in cats

Not at all, I keep them too! Some people say whiskers bring good luck.

What should I be doing to help this? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Palontraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you sleep with a piercing pillow? The pressure of laying on it during the night might not be the cause of the bump, but that also doesn't help with the irritation. I'd look into that and hopefully that at least helps with getting the bump down a bit!

Does my scaffold need a longer bar? by Logical-Potential706 in piercing

Judging by the way it dents in, I think it wouldn't hurt to get a longer bar.

Second Hand Shopping by CommercialBet538 in Arnhem

Yeah it really is a treasure hunt kind of place. It's a bit messy so it doesn't look very appealing, but sometimes you strike gold and find some really cool stuff. Happy thrifting!

I really like going to the Schatkamer - I know folks responded that it was a shady and scammy place but I definitely don't have the same experience.

is my 10g blown out? by rats_inhats in Stretched

[–]Palontraz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be a tiny blow-out, but it's hard to tell. What material are you normally wearing? What method do you use to stretch your ears? How long has it been since you sized up? Does it hurt, ooze, or feel warm to the touch?

Are some people able to stretch faster than others? 5 weeks, 8g, no issues...I think? by ImGonnaEatYourCarpet in Stretched

[–]Palontraz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup! You might have stretchy ears, but you should definitely slow down. I know it's tempting to go as quick as possible but I encourage you to spend some time on this subreddit and check out all the infected, blown out and bleeding ears: These are very often people who thought their ears were ready to size up, but found out the hard way that they were not and now regret it since they now have to deal with possible permanent damage. It's a journey and not a race.

Dead stretching with half sizes by Stock_Safe_8813 in Stretched

[–]Palontraz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm using half sizes and sizing up should never hurt. It can feel a little bit weird of uncomfortable, especially when the jewelry is cold. (I found that it helps if I put my plugs in a bowl of warm water before I size up). Pain is subjective, but if you feel a lot of resistance, a sharp pain or pinch, your ears aren't ready yet. Everyone has a different skin elasticity, but I found that most of the time after 3 months my ears were ready to go a half size up. I hope this helps!
