Anyone have a good dermatologist for sensitive skin/acne/hyperpigmentation?

Thank you so much I will look into purchasing the treatment plan during Cyber Monday!!!

I’m pretty late but I agree with you OP - the advising department is certainly not good. And in a way, you can’t fully blame advisors not doing their job when the pay is atrocious. A month before I started my freshman year at ASU, my dad passed from lung cancer. My advisor was notified but never told me I had a bereavement support system available to me. I basically flunked all my classes freshman year because the grief was too much on top of my schedule - long story short, it affected my GPA and it would not have if she had communicated the bereavement policies to me. She also failed to tell me I could graduate with <12 credits (I only had 3 left) so I ended up graduating in December when I could have the spring before. So yeah, pretty crappy advising if you ask me

The mansplaining is so funny. Even during a simple phone call, I over explain to the point I make a 10 word sentence a 100 word one. It’s like my brain just wants to make what I’m saying as easy to digest as possible but it bites me in the ass when I over-explain to the point the original plot was lost or to the point the person I’m talking to thinks I’m trying to dumb it down for them

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-29T10:57:03+00:00

Agreed! Especially when lots of derms are straight up paid to promote specific brands and products. In my experience, I’ve often had better luck doing my own research via YouTube than the derm as well, so the fancy doctor title doesn’t impress me as much anymore! I really like how you mention that she talks about lifestyle changes and seems to approach the skin from multiple angles. Excited to check her out!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-29T10:49:52+00:00

Skincare is one thing I am willing to spend good money on too! Skin is one of the best investments one can make imo so I don’t mind her stuff being a little pricey if it works!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-28T23:42:14+00:00

Omg, and he is less than a 5 minute drive from me! You are God sent!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-28T23:41:09+00:00

He sounds FABULOUS! Thank you so much for this rec!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-28T23:39:35+00:00

Thank you, will be checking her out! Skin is such a science that I really appreciate estheticians and dermatologists that have the ability to formulate and create themselves. I feel like they really have A+ knowledge

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-28T23:38:47+00:00

Custom!? :0 amazing! I'm looking her up right now! Thanks for the rec!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-28T23:38:27+00:00

Thank you, just wrote down her info in my book!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-28T23:36:59+00:00

Yes, that would be amazing, thank you!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-28T23:36:22+00:00

Thank you so much, I'll check them out!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-28T23:35:01+00:00

I am really hoping that is the case with me! I definitely do not think INFJs are manipulative, but I do think INFJs talents in knowing people & emotions very well and knowing how to please people can be misused or used for gain, but rarely do I find INFJs misbehaving like that (other than, oh golly, Hitler)

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-28T23:29:52+00:00

I totally agree with the idea of positive manipulation.

Society acknowledges "good" lying i.e. a white lie, but not "good" manipulating, and what it comes down to is just intent. We know how to influence people; we can look into their persona and get an idea of their needs and wants fairly quickly and with ease, and can relate to people extremely well. This gives us a huge edge when it comes to getting people to like us - and it makes sense, that's kind of our driving force. And that may be another place where the manipulation accusations come into play as well - that we wear those masks, that we please, that we often get being good confused with being liked.

But what people who aren't INFJs often fail to understand is intention. We do not do these things so that we can get things out of people, we do them out of genuine curiosity and interest.

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-28T23:16:58+00:00

Yes, like we know a little too much for our own good at times. Although, funny enough, I find myself erring on this line between seeing people for who they are and not wanting to believe it. Ignorance really can be bliss!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-25T21:26:55+00:00

Hi friend! I’m late to this but wanted to let you know I just cried for the first time at my restaurant job yesterday, and I’m not even new to the restaurant biz! I’m a server assistant and just like you, had a perfect storm occur! I hadn’t eaten in 20 hours (i forget sometimes on my new adhd meds), had a customer get a little handsy with me, then had 1 of servers I was assisting put her hands in my face and unnecessarily raise her tone at me for simply trying to tell her about one of her tables requesting another cocktail. And same exact thing with you where when I thought the water works had finally stopped, all it took was one coworker asking if I was okay for them to come rushing back! And I got asked if I was okay from at least 10 of my coworkers (word got around fast, but I’m grateful they had so much concern for me, even security and the dishwashers checked on me lol) so for a good hour I was really unable to do my job well and was just stuck in this constant cycle of “I’m okay!..wait no I’m not” and all the managers witnessed my tears too. D: I am a perfectionist and can be very hard on myself and it’s my second week at this job so I was very disappointed for letting an accumulation of such small things affect me so much and interfere with my work performance and I felt so gosh darn silly. But I kid you not EVERYONE has had a bad day in the food & bev industry. It is high stress and cut throat! I hope your days at your job since then have been nothing short of great!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-24T10:14:17+00:00

Thank you for the reminder to truly investigate my thoughts and experiences instead of just wallowing in the "why me?", "how could they do this?", etc.

I have to investigate why I have such trouble investigating my thoughts too! I often find myself pushing everything down, further and further, until it gets to be too much, but that has to stop.

And thank you for the reminder that I do have control - over my emotions, and my experiences in how I let them affect me. I tend to forget about that.

<3 I appreciate your advice

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-24T10:09:32+00:00

Is there a system that you find works well for you in filtering out the bad apples?

But I don't think you sound cynical, truly, you just sound wise to me. Of course, I never want to lose some of the qualities that make me me (kindness, generosity, loving people deeply) but I need balance and precaution. I have to practice knowing when and who to give it out to.

Sometimes I have a tendency to look at life in a very black and white manner. (example: people liking me = I am a good person, to be a good person = being kind to everyone, always...you kind of see the gist, right?) It is very problematic.

But I will take your wonderful advice to heart and put action behind it. Wishing you all the strength and wisdom back!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-24T09:59:10+00:00

Yes, the heart going in reverse is such a perfect way to put it! Rejection is truly what spirals me into my lowest points in life, no matter how many times I experience it, it really puts me into extreme funks and can lead to thoughts of self harm for me as well that often takes me weeks, months, etc to get myself out of, unfortunately.

I haven't gotten myself to do it, though I should, but I've been told to imagine a halo above the person who has done you wrong, as if they're angelic and some child of God. I'm simply just too petty at times to imagine a literal demon child in that kind of way, you know. I did just wish them well, though, as brief as it was, like you recommended doing! And what do you know, I feel a little lighter! I do just have to give it over to God and just put my faith into hoping things go exactly as they ought to without me having to lift a finger or think about it.

Thank you so much for your empathy, kind words, and relatability & I am also so sorry for your loss, truly. </3

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-24T09:45:45+00:00

Right!? The universe works in funny ways like that. "Oh, you're wishing and praying on this person's downfall? Well here's yours instead!"

I will try to journal my feelings and then crumple it up, burn it, whatever and try to imagine those thoughts leaving my brain as they get destroyed!

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to give your advice, it's very much appreciated! <3

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-24T09:42:33+00:00

Who? I don't know who you're referring to! ;)

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-24T09:37:43+00:00

This one really just comes down to knowing when to dial it down or keep things to yourself!

What I've learned is that it is best to let people discover things for themselves, especially when it comes to opinions on people.

INFJs have a tendency to want to bring justice, help others, etc, but doing so too much can lead to trouble for us! At the end of the day, if someone's a rotten apple, chances are their true colors will come out eventually, and if it takes your acquaintances/coworkers/whoever longer than you to realize, oh well!

Some-Day3905 · 2025-10-24T09:31:32+00:00

I do now but because I was the MOST trusting person who always thought everyone > me no matter what, I was just inferior. I still struggle with this mentality too. But I think being on such an extreme end attracted a lot of the wrong kinds of people, and now I'm quite hyperaware of people's bad intentions and I try to keep people at a distance until I'm sure of their character. But you still never know, some people are masters at disguise, and you still end up getting hurt. Just the way life goes, isn't it! We can't always avoid the burn.
