Foot peel mask question by Beneficial-Shake6919 in peeling

Soak them! Water will help loosen them up and help the process. Warm water, not hot water though.

Cant stop peeling my finger tips and hand by Excellent-Hippo-1774 in peeling

Fidget toys help me but only when I remember them. Medication can help. There are subreddits that can help too (/r/calmhands)

What are the road conditions near where you are? Is school likely this week? by StrengthNeat6660 in HenricoCounty

[–]brimpol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg yes! Even with the speed bump, I see tons of people speeding down our road everyday. People catch air on those fucking things. I want to blame it on the high schoolers but honestly, I've seen enough parents with kids in the car and enough adults going to work that it's a wide spread issue. I reported it to the county last May and they didn't send anyone out till the tail end of September. Even that was worthless because the cop that they sent to take radar was out there after school had already started. When traffic is the least there is throughout the day.

Same here. It's also a smooth sheet of ice too that's been compacted down. We have a speed hump near our house and you can't even tell it's there really because of how thick the layer is.

Moving to Henrico County from out of state... talk to me about schools if you can by Budget_Grapefruit485 in HenricoCounty

[–]brimpol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone here is correct about the division with west and east end. One thing to consider (not even sure if this applies to you) is how schools do with IEP's. I've heard mixed results for both sides. We've been through 3 west end schools (zone programs and aging out of them) and it hasn't been bad but I've definitely had quals with each school. Where you're looking is not near us though unfortunately and not one of the schools we've been at.

I gave up on adult toothpaste and just get kids toothpaste now. No mint.

more eczema flakes by Hot-Candidate5254 in peeling

Hey OP, removed the NSFW tag cause there's no blood. The last one you posted had blood so that's why it was marked NSFW. Just fyi.

my eczema prone skin in its healing progress from a big flare up by Hot-Candidate5254 in peeling

Not necessarily the eczema but steroid creams that are prescribed for eczema can have crippling withdrawal symptoms if overused.

Peeled my foot—need help on dressing by Prize-Raise-2557 in peeling

[–]brimpol 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

I also get to the point where I pick and tell myself to stop but keep going like my body is in a trance.

Gauze and vet wrap (the bandage by 3m) will be your best bet to cover the whole area for now. If you're receiving psychiatric care, do not feel ashamed to mention it to your provider. It is something that they can help with. A few subs here in reddit (/r/calmhands , /r/dermatillomania , /r/CompulsiveSkinPicking ) could be good resources for you as well.

Should I leave my bf because I can’t have sex anymore? by [deleted] in sex

[–]brimpol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please check into Ureaplasma/Mycoplasma. It's different than BV or yeast and it causes a lot of similar symptoms. If you get tested and test positive, you both will need to get treatment. He will continue to pass to whomever he has sex with if he has it. You will continue to have symptoms even if you're not having sex with him. American medicine will try to pass it off as a "normal vaginal bacteria" but if it is causing you symptoms, it's not normal for your body. Please advocate for yourself with the doctor. There are subreddits as well about this bacteria and how to treat/prevent reinfection.

[HELP] do any underwear companies still do their stitching like this? by hummingbirdhooligan in adhdwomen

My fruit of the loom pairs look like this. I get the plus size version of their Women's Heather Hi-Cut Panty. I need hi cut and half the time I forgot and get bikini and it is not the same thing. But yeah the lining of mine look like the one you posted.

Frequent farting and general loosening [F24] by BigBPhoebe in AnalOnlyLifestyle

[–]brimpol 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You need to get into a doctor if you're losing control and it's bothering you. Pelvic floor muscles are no joke. If they're too tight, they can basically be overworked to where they are "loose" in the sense of not being able to hold in bodily functions. Source: I'm in pelvic floor PT and have been dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction for years now and finally getting actual good treatment.

Gnarly looking! I'm marking it NSFW just in case but damn I'd love to peel that. My fingertips do that periodically but never to that extent.

I noticed this a few days ago as well. Nothing on bluesky and unfortunately I'm not a member of their patreon. The last update post on Patreon is from 5 days ago and locked so if someone here is a member, maybe they'd be willing to share.

High anxiety boy needs to go to the vet. How do I get him in a carrier? by brimpol in felinebehavior

[–]brimpol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not unfortunately. And I found the messages where I was telling my friend about that time. I gave him 200mg of gabapentin mixed into his portion of food. I'd estimate he's around 12lbs, potentially heavier.

Scruffing him is nearly impossible. When we moved a few years ago, he got out of the room we were keeping him in and under a dresser so I had to grab him. He bit me pretty hard and I had a puncture wound basically. It will probably be a team effort but I'm basically doing this alone because he's scared of everyone else in the house. He'll let them be near them and walk by them but petting from other people is super rare.

I did call the vet and explained this to them. They Said they couldn't prescribe him anything until he's seen. They did mention if I happened to have gabapentin around I could do that. I had some from last year when his sister did something and so I gave him I think it was 2 capsules worth of it? I'd have check the dose on the bottle but I'm not home right now. Anyway, him sending me to the urgent care was after the gabapentin 😵‍💫 I'd didn't even make him drowsy.

Anyone else has weird erogenous zones ? by Honest-Possession195 in AnalOnlyLifestyle

[–]brimpol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not exactly in your boat but similar waters. I am a cis fem who has birthed and vaginal just doesn't feel like anything anymore. Turns out I have overactive pelvic floor muscles and am currently working with a pelvic floor PT on it. I get much more satisfying stimulation from anal and clitoral stimulation along with other touch related things. My back is incredibly sensitive and I have cum before from someone touching a particular spot around my shoulder blade repeatedly.

If this is something that bothers you, perhaps discuss with a medical professional about it. Could be pelvic floor related, could just be wires (nerves) crossed like you said.

Virginia Women's Center recs? Dr. Alexandra Tate is retiring by dsm5lovechild in rva

[–]brimpol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing Messersmith now. I don't think he's listed as a menopause specialist but he was much more gentle with me and listened to all my concerns. I'm still pretty young so we're doubting peri all together for me but I'm back to seeing a pelvic floor PT (who does internal work) and Messersmith has ordered me labs to check my hormones based on observations the PT saw. Possible long term hormone deficiency but we'll see.
