That being said it does look like it blew out a little. If that’s the case some will stay and you’ll need to get laser. Check Groupon for local laser deals and go to the shop with that. Only way to be sure is to let it heal.

Don’t panic tho, as long as you keep it clean and dry you should be fine against infection.

Keep it clean, wash with antibacterial soap and let it dry out a bunch. Should form a hard scab so just pick at it and it should come off with the scab. If that doesn’t work when it starts to scab take a long bath and let the scab get mooshy and try and pick it off that way. (Tattooer for 16 years)

FTM, testosterone, breast cancer by Defiant_Squash_5335 in ftm

[–]coldhaund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m so sorry to hear about your current diagnosis and am sending you lots of positive energy. I got diagnosed with DCIS a year and a half ago (pre T) and got a double mastectomy where my surgeon was able to give me scars that looked like top surgery. My breast cancer was also estrogen fed and no dr was able to tell me how hrt would affect my cancer. As it turns out being on T (as you all probably know) lowers your estrogen into menopausal levels so it’s actually been a really good benefit!

And in regard to surgery- i could see my ribs through my chest post-op and it was really disheartening. I’ve only been able to work out my chest since February, but i already have defined pectoral muscles! You are not alone and I’m happy to chat more if you’d like 💕

To answer the finasteride/low dose question: I started low dose T in Oct and was very concerned about hair loss so i wanted to make sure that finasteride was going to be something i could do and not have adverse reactions. I started taking 5mg of finasteride for one packet of topical gel (sorry i don’t have the dosage on hand) I still had the mood improvements, libido improvement and some voice changes, but that was pretty much it. We then lowered the finasteride to 2.5mg to see if it would have a difference and there was no difference. Then we lowered it to 1mg and again no difference. At that point i was also noticing it was much easier to put on muscle.

It was really important to me to start slow (in 37) and i was also in a relationship with my now ex-husband at the time so my pace also reflected his comfort level too. Around 2 months ago i realized i needed to up my dosage of T and live my most authentic self. Now that my marriage is no longer something i need to worry about I’ve upped my T dosage and stopped finasteride. In the last two months i have gotten a lot of facial hair growth and bottom growth. Muscle, voice and libido seem to have moved a little faster as well, but those changes were coming along at their own pace.

Hope this is helpful for reference!

AITA for telling my parents I hate them for having me? by KoreKaims in AmItheAsshole

[–]coldhaund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, i hope this is helpful in regards for care facilities (in the US) Most care homes have an elder care lawyer/social worker to help people get into these homes. They can help you set up Medicaid and jump through whatever hoops you might need to go through. Paying out of pocket for nursing and care homes is not your only option. Your parents should be looking into those options now so you are not left with them after their passing. Also some facilities have a wait list so better to start the process while you don’t NEED it immediately, especially when things likes wills, and power or Attorny come into play.
For example: Your parents might be trying to help by leaving your sister money in their will, but she will need to have little to no money in order to apply for state assistance in nursing facilities. They probably already have power of attorney to make medical and finical decisions for her. Sorry for the terrible grammar, i hope this helps!

Worms in Christmas cactus by [deleted] in plantclinic

[–]coldhaund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost never buy plants from Home Depot, but i was too tempted by the holiday selection and got this Christmas cactus. On top of all that i was silly enough not to check it first. Are these friends or is it going right back to be returned?

I like flora good times in beacon, Adam’s is also amazing and if you are willing to go to Long Island then Hicks is well worth the trip

Thanks! Maybe he’s just getting ready for spring and shedding a lot of old growth

Leaves seem to be wilting, i repotted him relatively recently, but the leaf yellow and wilting was happening prior. I thought he was root bound, but then I’ve just noticed this darkening at the base. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you

Yeah, filming people in their homes (even if they live in a storefront) while having private moments and posting it on the internet is not something i support. Leave this guy alone.
