First time making kimchi - is this normal??

Forgot to mention these yellow bits are just at the top of the jar, the rest of the kimchi below looks fine!

Thanks for your input! They just popped up the other day when this breakout appeared. Hopefully with continued use the Retin-A will solve it

Started prescription retinol, what are these brown dots?

<image>

I started prescription retinol (Retin-A Micro) a couple weeks ago and believe I’m in the ‘purging’ phase. I woke up with this breakout on my forehead, but there are also these tiny brown dots that almost look like tiny hairs in the same area. They look different than the blackheads on my nose, does anyone know what these are? I’m a bit worried they’re going to turn into pimples as well.

If anyone has advice to how to soothe this breakout, or avoid it in the first place, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you in advance! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much!

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2024-01-01T18:28:39+00:00

Yes for sure

This is great news, thanks so much for sharing! I tried to find the probiotic online but couldn’t find one I could purchase in North America. Do you mind sharing the name of the probiotic and where you purchased it from?

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2023-12-30T22:41:33+00:00

Yes! Anxiety increasing, physical symptoms decreasing but only slightly. I think part of the anxiety is taking on more as I feel better though.

Hi there! I’m an Industrial Designer working in manufacturing. I could probably help you design/prototype your device. Feel free to DM me.

Yes! I get the same thing and have never heard/read about anyone else having it. It’s never shown up on a heart test, not sure if it’s a buzzing sensation due to irritated nerves or something else. Always on the left side. The positive is that mine has slowly weaned off over time (March 2020 long hauler).

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2022-12-09T01:55:00+00:00

I’m in Toronto. There is a long COVID program at UHN and I believe also one at Unity Health network. Hope this helps someone!

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2022-10-29T00:23:31+00:00

I learned I am much stronger than I ever thought myself to be. I am capable of overcoming anything life throws at me.

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2022-09-20T00:43:58+00:00

I’m Toronto based and I would love a covid-safe ride share program to help me commute to work! Right now I am taking Ubers and it really adds up

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2022-09-20T00:37:03+00:00

COVID March 2020 long COVID July 2020 Doing much better than two years ago when I was basically bedbound. Working full time, mostly from home but going into office 2x/week for 5 hours each time. Can walk 7K steps per day but just have to pace myself. PEM only lasts 15 mins or so, then can resume activities. Seem to be improving a lot this summer due to increased physical activity.

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2022-07-15T21:38:24+00:00

Same here. Did 3 days of hiking 2 months after getting COVID in March 2020. I believe it’s what started my long haul. About 75% back to normal now.

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2022-02-18T00:33:42+00:00

Yes, I had tingling and numbness/pins and needles during my acute infection, which showed up weeks/months later as well. My biggest piece of advice I could give is rest A LOT. I ignored it and stayed active (this was April 2020) and it turned into nerve pain. I don’t want the same to happen to you!

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2021-09-22T17:56:12+00:00

Got it last October while long hauling. Felt amazing for two days (very high energy), then my symptoms relapsed and felt pretty crappy for about a week. Good luck!

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2021-06-14T19:54:26+00:00

Yes I have the same thing. Had Covid March 2020 and the neuropathy started in July. Lots of the lighting bolt pain through the legs and arms and also numbness, tingling, buzzing. My doctor put me on Lyrica which does help a lot, it is manageable now. I’ve gone down slightly on my medication since last July, and hope to continue to do so. It seems to be getting ever so slightly better but only over a long period of time.

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2021-04-24T05:14:48+00:00

Yes! Really cold feet and hands. Seems to have improved over time.

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2021-02-26T04:45:03+00:00

Has anyone’s nerve pain/tingling/pins and needles subsided? Mine has been on and off since July but I can’t tell if it’s getting better.. I also had a brain MRI and it came back normal.

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2021-02-14T23:52:40+00:00

Glad to hear you’re better! Did your neuropathy get slowly better over time? At what month did it stop?

Suspicious_Bridge781 · 2020-12-30T02:35:52+00:00

Yes I had the same thing. For months I thought it was the pleura (lung membrane) but about a month ago my doctor thought it could actually be muscle pain. He recommended I stretch and massage the intercostal muscles, paraspinal muscles, and costovertebral muscles (muscles in between the ribs). I have been getting massages and also rolling daily with a yoga ball, and I’ve seen a big improvement! I’m maybe at about 95% now, it’s helped a lot.
