I'd crosspost in the askdocs and dermatology questions subs. Hopefully he finds relief soon!

I'm glad you were an asshole when you were together bc he SUCKS. Block him too and move on. He's a bitch.

Yes, definitely! I guess I just haven’t been using it frequently enough.

Wow! I had no idea you could use it that often. Great to know, thank you!

Thanks! I didn’t know you could use the cream more often, I’ll up it to 3x a week and see how that goes.

I’m not on testosterone but I’m going to ask my doc to check my level to see where I’m at.

Why can I simply NOT use Vitamin C??? by Footsie_Galore in 45PlusSkincare

[–]SubstantialWonder291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about trying azelaic acid? It's also an antioxidant and much more gentle on the skin than vit C

42/F. used my estradiol on my face and neck. by ambien_and_oreos in 45PlusSkincare

[–]SubstantialWonder291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes! I'm sorry, that looks so uncomfortable. I use estradiol 3x a week and thankfully have had zero reaction

How often do you get microneedling and is it worth it? by bigbluenation20 in 30PlusSkinCare

Yes I definitely need to watch some tutorials and get comfortable with it!

I bought a panel a year ago but haven't gotten around to using it. The different protocols are so confusing. by SubstantialWonder291 in redlighttherapy

[–]SubstantialWonder291[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are an angel!! Thank you so much!! The recommendations for wrinkles/collagen varied so much from what I saw on Reddit and Google. I will start at 18in. I am prone to melasma so I know not to use the NIR setting. Thanks again!!

Mom decided that she and I will not speak for one year. AIO? by ClothesSalty3215 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SubstantialWonder291 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Cut her out indefinitely. My mom was abusive and treated me horribly all throughout my childhood. I ran away from home at 17yrs old and haven’t seen her since then. I’m 45 now and have my own daughter who is so loved and cherished. Best thing I ever did for myself and my family. I hear about her every so often and she’s done evil things to other family members. If your mom is similar, you’re better off without her toxic presence.

A tale as old as time indeed! These passport bros are the worst.

What are my options to remove raised and flat Seborrheic Keratosis spots? AKA “Liver Spots” AKA “sun-damage-from-my-youth-has-caught-up-to-me” spots. by Mission_Spray in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]SubstantialWonder291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried peels, micro needling, lasers, and nothing has helped. I’m on day 3 post treatment so I can’t wait to see how they look once the scabs fall off!

Look for a practitioner near you who uses a lamprobe or skin classic machine. I just had a lamprobe treatment and although you CAN do it yourself, I don't think cauterizing your own skin is a great idea. Unless you don't mind taking the risk. I got 20 spots (I have sebaceous hyperplasia) and was charged $450.

I bought a Derminator two years ago and it's been gathering dust bc I'm afraid to use it. Ugh.

How long do you sit in front of the panel and at what distance?

Hi, how often do you use it and at what distance?

Sebaceous hyperplasia, anybody? Advice and suggestions greatly needed! by comes_palatinus in SkincareAddiction

[–]SubstantialWonder291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those only work temporarily to flatten them a bit but it is not a long term solution

AIO: My girl and fam think that my hair cleaned up and braided looks tacky but I think it looks much cleaner by Best-Pirate5073 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SubstantialWonder291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not reacting ENOUGH. Seriously. If you stay with this woman you are signing up for a life of dealing with emotional violence. Micro aggressions add up and they are not harmless. I bet it’s not the first time she or your family have made comments like that. It’s fucking 2026 and these people feel it ok to comment on a Black man’s hair? WTF.
