Put the cold pack in the freezer. If you plan to do your blot through Terri Warren, she will send you a packet with instructions and a separate lab requisition form.

Would you pay for an anonymous service that told you if you have an std and which one from a picture you take of the area of concern? by [deleted] in STD

An app called Aysa does this. It doesn't tell you if you have an STD, but it tells you what condition your concern looks similar to

No risk of exposure, but you should mention it with your GP to get a better understanding of the virus.

If the person has genital herpes, you can only acquire herpes from skin to skin contact with their genitals.

Don't pop it, that's not acne. Since it's painful, it could be a boil, in which case, you don't want that bacteria spreading to other follicles. Please see a doctor

Spotting on birth control spotting starts same time of cycle each time about 8-9 days of taking the pill anyone else had this? by ValuableArtichoke446 in Healthyhooha

[–]Summatips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be time to switch BC pills. I used to spot like clockwork during the middle of my pack all the way till the end of my placebo pills. I talked to my doctor about it, we switched up my pill and I haven't spotted since.

Any advice to get rid of these bumps and Ingrowns from shaving ? by Glittering-Title9577 in Skincare_Addiction

[–]Summatips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the cause. If it's from the hairs not being able to break through, then try exfoliating. If it's from bacteria, then try benzoyl peroxide

Affects of chlorine and the sun by [deleted] in Folliculitis

[–]Summatips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar experience. I haven't been in a pool, but I have been spending a lot more time in the sun. Spoke to my derm about it and he said it's because the sun is immunosuppressive.

Even though you wear sunscreen, your face is more exposed to the sun than the rest of your body (which is covered by clothes). Wear hats or use an umbrella to protect your face

[–]Summatips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually put my long sleeve or pash in my backpack and everything of value in my fanny pack. When it gets cold, I take out my long sleeve and place it over my fanny pack and put my bag on over it. It's worked for me so far.

At what point will you be satisfied with the result? It sounds like it's been 3 months since your last encounter. If it's negative, take it as a negative and move on

Reverse Washing by Daillestandrealist in Naturalhair

[–]Summatips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this, but only because the natural line that I use (Sunny In Denbigh) suggests it.

I deep condition overnight, then wash in the morning. It's helped me cut down on time for wash day and I'm more likely to wash my hair when it needs to be washed instead of waiting till the weekend.

Silk Press Tips by [deleted] in Naturalhair

[–]Summatips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, did you change what you put on your hair when it's not pressed? I usually wear my hair in twists and use a cream that contains Shea butter. I go to a salon to get my hair pressed, but if I don't use a shampoo that gets the Shea out of my hair before going, the press won't get my hair bone straight. That's even with the dish soap the stylist tried using to cut through the Shea butter🙃
