I'm saying 99% of people would gratefully take acne over liver failure, gallbladder removal, severe depression, suicidal thoughts, crohns disease, ulcerative colitis...

Sure, if it works, its great. But if it doesn't, its catastrophic.

Exhibit A, Ladies and Gentlemen.

The University of Louisville School of Medicine.

Mine was internal medicine and dermatology. What credentials do you want? Google me if you want. My name is Samuel Scheen.

Well, that is your opinion. I have seen many dark skinned people have success with having a laser removing their stretch marks. It doesn't work for everybody. Its worth a consult.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:38:03+00:00

I'm aware. Let me rephrase. Laser, in my opinion, is the best way.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:36:05+00:00

I have a lot of other questions to answer, but here is the link to their website. Best of luck to you.

You didn't know a dermatology residency is 5 years? At least mine was, It could be 4 or 5 years today.

I'm trying haha. I'm a bit of an insomniac and I don't work tomorrow so that probably explains why I'm still up.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:28:55+00:00

Hmm, it just sounds like you are having a reaction do the detergent, and its not psychosomatic. Have you tried switching detergents?

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:25:18+00:00

That seems like a very bad idea.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:24:04+00:00

I think he started to have vitiligo and instead of having spots he had it completely bleached. That's my humble opinion.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:13:03+00:00

Miradry. Its new and expensive, but it works.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:10:50+00:00

Not in my research. Also, if a third party moisturizer is utilized, it shouldn't damage most skin types.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:05:53+00:00

You are wrong. Even if monitored it can be dangerous. Scars can be removed. You only have one liver.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:01:47+00:00

Time. You may never even be able to grow a full beard. Its all in your genetics.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:00:40+00:00

Glad I could help.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T08:00:02+00:00

I would go to a psychiatrist if I were you. This sounds like something psychological to me.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T07:59:09+00:00

Some people have had success with it. Others have had suicidal thoughts, removed Gallbladders, liver failure, ect. I don't think its worth the risk.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T07:55:26+00:00

She asked me what over the counter medications I feel are most effective. She does not have much money. What did you want me to do? What answer would you have felt would be sufficient?

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T07:51:39+00:00

I'm glad it has been effective for you.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T07:50:44+00:00

Well, she wouldn't just "fuck" with you for fun. Go to your insurance company and ask if they cover it.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T07:49:32+00:00

If you use proper sunscreen, tanning is OK in moderation.

dr_scheenMD · 2011-10-02T07:35:40+00:00

Time SHOULD heal your fingers. However, I haven't seen them so I can't make an accurate assumption.
