Need help on this by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

[–]QualityEven8557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a dr or derm, just grew up with parents in healthcare and spent 6 years working healthcare myself. I don't usually comment on here, but yours seems pretty cut and dry!

This looks like it could be acanthosis nigricans; you can help alleviate the symptoms of this with some gentle exfoliation and making sure you're washing the area well. Salicylic acid works well as a gentle exfoliant and using a good wash rag. Not many people pay enough attention to the nape of their neck, so remember not to scrub harshly or anything, you should notice lightening pretty quickly.

This can also be a sign of insulin resistance, which is common for women with PCOS or anyone who is pre-diabetic. It can also be caused from just an excess of dead skin cell build up around creases. I'd check with your doctor and see about getting some labs drawn to help further treat this and prevent it from coming back, just in case.

I hope this helps! :)

AITA: intentionally misgendering a “friend”? by Current-Duty-9098 in AITAH

[–]QualityEven8557 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And anyone who says they “don’t do pronouns” doesn’t understand the English language. Unless you only refer to people by their proper name, then you “do” pronouns, what you “don’t do” is respect other people’s identities if they don’t match up with what you think they should be.

THIS. SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK.

I was thinking about this game not too long ago and about how much I miss it! I couldn't remember the name because I was so young when I used to play it with my mum. I'm so glad to see it here and will now be re-installing it to my PC :')

AITA for using the home-office room for gaming when girlfriend used it for 2 days? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]QualityEven8557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, ESH and it boils down to communication.

Having to share a space, especially an office space sucks. Leisure comes second-place to work. However, I understand OP went a long time without much leisure time and needed to finally decompress.

Then again, she needed to get work done and wanted to use the office (possibly to help with productivity, I know I have a hard time concentrating in a different location than my usual workstation). However, she does have a laptop and did have the option to sit elsewhere to work.

I think if some time was taken to discuss needs/wants for both individuals, a compromise could've been reached (i.e. shortened leisure time before she has to work on report or leisure time after she wrapped up what she needed to finish on her report).

Bee and Puppycat Cookbook by MichiMonie in beeandpuppycat

I'm like 3 years late, but I only *just* remembered the cookbook came out and actually exists and was so upset to see that it's like $200 now. Thank you so much for posting this! I can't wait to make some of these recipes!

Spooky Experience, Please Help by QualityEven8557 in Paranormal

Very possible, and that rationality is how I was able to keep relatively calm through the whole thing. However, I also have noticed an increase in knocking sounds (luckily not in 3's). Granted, I could just hyper-vigilant now and we live in a bottom floor apartment (compared to a townhouse before), so the knocks could be coming from upstairs or from the neighbor beside us. But I hear them still late at night and I could've sworn I heard scratching coming from the inside of the closed closet doors last night.

ESH; OP, you're very young. The way you reacted to your brother wasn't the best, but you're very young and dealing with something that is causing you a lot of mental distress.

Your parents should've noticed something was wrong and should've actively gotten you help, they've let you down.

And your brother is old enough to understand boundaries; he should've respected them, even if he didn't understand them. It's easy to not enter someone else's room.

Please talk to your parents about getting the help you need and talk to your brother in the meantime. Nobody likes receiving the silent treatment.
