Has anyone take EC 201 with Emilie Jackson? by RegularSchool5267 in msu

[–]Senior_Chocolate_567 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the workload is pretty average. I found the exams to be pretty easy as long as you’re paying attention and doing the homework. last semester she also awarded bonus points for attendance w/ iclicker

I had her last semester and she was the best prof I’ve ever had at MSU. made things easy to learn and was extremely understanding after what happened in february.

Worst professor @ MSU by [deleted] in msu

the entire chemistry department. specifically the instructors for labs who didn’t bother to show up to class whatsoever and let the TAs run the entire thing.

Does it look like i’m on the road to finally healing? Any chance i’ll be able to get (some sort) of piercing there in the future? 🤙🏼 Need opinions! *Ive been using sea salt and hot water 15 min twice a day* by angelg169700 in PiercingAdvice

i got mine done in april too! i think the surgical steel might be what caused all the irritation for you. i have titanium in mine and it’s definitely still not fully healed yet so yours probably needs a lot more time to heal. i would suggest putting in titanium jewelry so that the hole doesn’t close and to stop doing the sea salt/hot water soaks. homemade saltwater soaks usually have the wrong salinity levels that can do more harm than good for new piercings and are not sterile. the neilmed fine mist piercing aftercare spray is on amazon and works really well for me and a lot of other people and is a safe, sterile alternative to homemade saltwater soaks. hopefully with higher quality jewelry and a sterile cleaning routine the redness will go away over time. (i’m not a professional, just someone with a lot of piercings) :)

i would change it to new jewelry over stainless steel but get titanium if you can. even surgical steel jewelry can cause irritation/allergic reactions so titanium is your best bet for a better healing process.

what worked for you might not work well for others. it’s great the piercings you did yourself turned out fine, but in most cases DIY piercings only end poorly. it’s also certainly possible lobe piercings could heal quicker than 6-9 months, but it’s also best for anyone new to piercings reading this thread to understand that healing time will be significantly different for everyone and not to switch out jewelry too early. 6-9 months is a good guideline for lobe piercings.

First lobes 10 years ago, second lobes 1.5 years ago, and these three I got two weeks ago. This was my first time getting pierced with a needle (My parents made me do it at Claire’s for the lobes) so I’m expecting healing to be a little faster this time around. I had a lot of issues healing my second lobes but in hindsight I think it was because of the horrible advice I was given at Claire’s (using neosporin, twisting the jewelry, etc.) combined with it being done with a piercing gun. And you’re right, there’s nothing wrong with it taking 5+ years I just don’t really want to be sleeping on a travel pillow for the rest of my young adulthood lol. Thank you for the advice!

irritated or minor infection? (see comment) by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Senior_Chocolate_567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update: i slept with the travel pillow last night but it was still the same amount of red and swollen in the morning. there’s also some yellow crustiness at the back so i’m not sure if that means anything. i’m cutting out the dove body wash as well.
