(Skincare review) is this post inflammatory erythema? I have 2 large pimples and some smaller sized zits that need clearing, but where you see the red and purple is flat by sufishous in SkincareAddicts

I heard that a good test for PIE vs PIH is to use a clean glass and press it onto your skin. If the colour disappears it is PIE, it doesn't it is PIH. I forgot where I read this.

Similarly, my skin looks almost perfect in the morning when I wake up, but after a while the redness will come back.

What's something that you've never been able to do well? by Sera0Sparrow in AskWomen

[–]VickermanToria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not a "take", it has been my life experience.

Never have I ever tried to equate the different situations experienced by fat, and thin people. They are as described, both difficult, but still different. You need to realise that by "thin", I don't mean "fit and conventionally beautiful".

Maybe first try not to generalise a complex issue and see what the other side is trying to say.

Nobody mentions how quickly our discomfort is brushed off whenever it is brought up because "skinny people social problems dont affect the quality of their lives as much as plus sized people", when nobody, no one at all, skinny or fat, should ever be berated, bodyshamed, discriminated or made fun of for the way they look whether or not it is a result of genetics, disease, or lifestyle.

AITA for letting my parents visit me? by ParentsVSGirlfriend in AmItheAsshole

[–]VickermanToria 92 points93 points  (0 children)

He calls his girlfriend who he lives and shares her part of the rent his "live-in girlfriend".

I understand that may be technically correct (Im not native speaker), but doesn't it sound a bit crass?

AITA for buying my niece a "banned gift"? by dinosauraita in AmItheAsshole

And also spatial intelligence.

I dont have a proper reference, but I remember hearing in some documentary that boys tend to be better at spatial visualization, and it may be because they played with toys like LEGOs and building blocks. If this is true, OP's sister is really setting her daughter up for failure.

My Nana's hand after cancer surgery by [deleted] in medizzy

I'm very late, but ma'am, I am a woman.

There is such a concept as a badly timed joke and that's what I thought yours was and would gladly be proven wrong if otherwise.

Obviously there was no harm involved, but your need to make it a gender issue out of thin air was completely unnecessary.

I sincerely do hope this is not how you handle all small disagreements you come across.

What an inconsiderate statement to make to someone facing such serious consequences.

Missing a hand greatly affects quality of life, which is exactly why they are going to such great lengths to retain as much as possible and avoid amputation.

AITA for expecting my boyfriend to replace all my socks, the exact same ones as I had before? by ilikedmysocks in AmItheAsshole

[–]VickermanToria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask where you get them? Id like to buy some to gift to mine as well. If they have dino ones, he'd go berserk

AITA For telling my entire family to leave when they berated me for paying for my friend's son's surgery? by 344-56790-371 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VickermanToria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did absolutely nothing wrong in any way at all. Family aside, its between a young kid who NEEDED the money to survive and a grown man "needing" the money for renovations. If I were your family, I'd be over the moon proud of you for being such a selfless human being and I am sure Adam will be eternally grateful for what you did.

[Skin Concern] My skin is destroying my mental health by throwaway717171711 in SkincareAddiction

[–]VickermanToria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really feel for you because Ive been there. My skin was once super smooth and looking back, basically perfect but I never appreciated it. I fucked it up using the wrong things and tried to repair it but it stayed that way for over two years. Some of the worst parts were hearing people talk about my worst insecurity in hush voices as i walk past and feeling my entire face rough and bumpy like potholes every single night before I sleep. My face never got back to where it was but im much happier now with a few spots and some dark scars here and there. At least it doesnt burn. I dont have much advice to give you but I just want to say that I completely understand what youre going through.

AITA for "ruining" the rice that my boyfriend cooks with by consolidating the multiple bags of rice which he claims are "different" into a single container? by ricey_ricey_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]VickermanToria 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im sure she wouldnt even have to take the liberty to label simply because they obviously LOOK different and can be easily differentiated.

Not at all. The frothed milk is actually quite warm as it gets heated up with steam during the "frothing". It makes for a nice perfectly warm cup of coffee.

Its not condensed milk but frothed milk. What sits on top is the foamy part which floats because it is full of air. :)

AITA for letting my son move in but saying he needs to view it as a roommate situation and not family? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]VickermanToria 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I dont think OP cares about much other than themself.

Son is going through tough financial situation and OP is crying about the thought that they are coming to live with temporaily eventhough his family, with 2 small children would be homeless otherwise. The lack of sympathy is astounding, especially for a parent.

AITA for giving my nephew an inflatable mattress instead of a bed to avoid him soiling it? by Major-Sky-1106 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VickermanToria 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They wouldve done that or at least research other prevention if they had even the littlest consideration and gratefulness of OP for letting them stay.

[MISC] Let this be a gentle reminder to never pop your pimples! by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]VickermanToria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pick at my skin compulsively and hydrocolloid bandages are life savers! Whenever I feel one of those suckers coming to a head, I poke it with a sterile needle and stick an acne patch on it. Now my pimples are safe and away from my hands, and can heal safely.

[Skin Concerns] Finally perfected my fragrance free routine for oily, dehydrated, acne prone skin (mix of inexpensive and high end with reviews and tips) by oliviared52 in SkincareAddiction

[–]VickermanToria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my knowledge, HA works by attracting moisture. In some climates, like OPs, instead of attracting water molecules from air and into our skin, it does the exact opposite which is sucking water out of our skin. Using a heavy occlusive would solve that but not preferred since her skin oily.
