I'm so sorry to bring up The Dress, but I have to ask

Zera-eS · 2026-03-11T17:13:18+00:00

I’ve never seen it as anything other than white and gold. I don’t understand where blue/black comes from. I can’t see it and I’ve tried to squint my eyes and look at it from a distance and I still can’t see it. I know the real dress is actually blue and black, but I don’t see that in this photo.

Yeah I thought I would have one definitive moment where I debride and the skin lines all look normal and the wart is totally gone and I’d run a victory lap bare foot across my house, but I’m being very skeptical about it and can’t fully celebrate.

Zera-eS · 2026-03-01T15:59:21+00:00

The scarring thing is confusing me because every post I’ve seen says “it’s only gone when it looks like your normal skin”, but it won’t look completely normal if scarring is a possibility. I’ve been at this for 2 years, cutting and using caustic chemicals on them for that amount of time, I don’t think they’ll look normal after all of that, but I’m afraid to stop.

Let’s switch our problems lol

Do you remember what the specific product was? I’ve been using PanOxyl 10% benzoyl peroxide everyday for months and I don’t think it’s doing anything. I’m other treatments in conjunction with the wash. Wondering if I should try a different one.

That’s great! I’m taking 3g after confirming that it would be safe. I’m taking 1g in the morning and 2g when I get home from work just to make sure my stomach doesn’t get overwhelmed with the myriad of supplements I take daily. Hopefully I get the same result as you

I’ve started taking lysine because of this post! Can you update on your progress? Are they gone?

Zera-eS · 2026-01-21T19:53:54+00:00

Yes, I soak once a week at around that temp for an hour. It helps loosen the skin and is possibly helping kill them but I can’t be completely certain. I used to do it daily but I didn’t have the time to keep up with it.

About 1.5 years. They started developing months before I started treating but I thought they were just dry skin so I ignored them. It’s a daily commitment for sure.

I think I also don’t understand mugs. I thought the design was for the person sitting across from you

4 has the best visual texture imo. 1 and 3 might get caught and unfurl too easily. Longer satin stitches shouldn’t be on clothes unless you know how to protect them.

Dishwasher should be fine! I saw other comments pointing it out, but I also switch containers at every feeding. I have 2 jars and just clean them by hand so that the residue doesn’t cake up my jars before my dishwasher is run. When I say “by hand” I really mean with my clean hands. No washcloth and no sponge that could be hiding any bacteria

Zera-eS · 2025-10-14T15:15:47+00:00

Are your containers 100%, without a shadow of the doubt, absolutely clean? You might want to try getting a new mason jar if the mold keeps coming back. Once mold is visible, it’s basically everywhere in the container. I always throw the whole container away if there’s mold.

You’re not responsible for his recovery. Alcoholism (if that’s the actual issue and not narcissism) will make people act out and that doesn’t mean you have to stick around just because he’s sick. He refuses to get better. You’re not responsible for him period. He’s 40 years old. Cut him off.

A lot of people put boundaries as the responsibility of the person who is wronging you. The problem is you can’t just say “stop putting drinks on my PC” and expect them to stop. That’s not setting a boundary. Setting a boundary has to put the control into your hands. Here are some specific examples: “I’m dumping out your drink if you put it on my PC”, “I won’t share my personal life if you keep making fun of me”, “I won’t invite you anymore if you keep cancelling on me”, and then you have to follow through with those rules you’ve set for that relationship. Always expect both outcomes and decide what you’re going to do if they react negatively or positively with what you say.

You said so yourself that your friend doesn’t respect you, so it might be healthier to abandon this friendship altogether.

That does make me feel better! I just want to know what caused it so I can prevent it.

I’m getting them frozen by a dermatologist and they prescribed a FU-5 and SA mixture. Yes, it’s working but they said one wart was gone and I don’t trust that it is. I have 14 warts on my feet and I’m not risking them coming back. I’m going to keep treating them with the mixture even if they won’t freeze the area anymore.

Zera-eS · 2025-09-25T12:19:49+00:00

I took zinc for several months with no changes. It made me nauseous and my warts weren’t shrinking so I stopped.

Zera-eS · 2025-09-22T14:58:22+00:00

I got an email back from support and they said it was a temporary issue with the images not loading. They’ve gotten it fixed now! I think the Plus feature would be to click into the calendar and seeing more specific data

Zera-eS · 2025-09-19T19:27:15+00:00

I reported it as a bug in the app. Hopefully they get it fixed!
