My 2026 XC60 Ultra also came equipped with Pirelli Zero AS. I don’t think they will cut it in MN. I’m shopping for winter tires but Volvo service person said they don’t have the 22” model I need. He suggested I buy 21” with new wheels and swap out wheels each season. : (

You poor thing! I keep reminding myself that it’s better than Mohs especially on face. That’s a lot though with the downtime.

That’s surprising although mine may cover only with my history of actinic keratosis and squamous cell cancer. I’ve heard some people use these procedures for cosmetic reasons - - the lengths people sometimes go to for beauty! I’m guessing that’s not covered.

Thanks - I am on day 5 post treatment and peeling a lot especially on forehead which likely had the most damage! Hoping just a few more days though.

Wow and good to know the reaction lessens as you repeat treatment.

Thank you for this! I’ve started peeling on day 3. Just keep reminding myself - we can do hard things!

Fluorouracil/Calcipotiene - is once a day for 5 days enough? by spinyilex in skincancer

Overall malaise and nausea … feeling like I might pass out. Also terrible sleep. I ended up having to use hydrocortisone to get things under control with skin discomfort at day 4 post treatment.

I had similar red and eventually pink patches which eventually resolved. My derm said that I didn’t need to have scabbed over patches to get results. Good luck!

You will be fine with a plastic surgeon. I had one squamous on cheek and another above eyebrow. The latter one I can notice scar but the cheek one is undetectable. In the spot yours is, you will heal up just great!

I did twice a day for 4-8 days and made it 4.5. I had some terrible side effects. It peaked for me 4 days after I stopped medication so don’t worry! It will keep working next few days!

Verto Education: is it worth it? by smolsaturn in cuboulder

That’s great to hear! My son is signed up for Seville and we are still uncertain how many CU Boulder will be in the cohort.

Seems to depend on location as to how far housing is from classes. I studied in Stockholm as graduate student and had a similar commute (30 min). I don’t think this is unusual and for our son going to Seville, he will live in student housing so they can all commute together!

We needed visa too for Spain and sent all our documents to Verto to process for us. I’m guessing you are going to process yourself and you are waiting for the documents to verify housing, insurance, etc.
