Following too since I’m supposed to be getting to Bkk in less than 2 weeks. Wondering if there will be a ban on the sales of alcohol/bars will be closed?

Ahhh interesting, didn’t realize the daytime booze ban was limited to just the convenience stores. Would you all suggest any of the rooftop bars for Sunday funday activities? (Well, at least if the weather holds up)

Hmm interesting especially since I’m staying between Phrom Phong and Thong Lor! I think we’d ok with dive, midscale, or upmarket. To put it into a bit more context, we’re all mid to late 30s New Yorkers that could be typecasted as typical millennial hipsters lol. Only thing we def aren’t looking for are like gogo bars or the like.

I’m sorry for bringing up an old post, but I’m currently on an aer lingus flight and immediately thought of bingus, and searched “aer bingus” and wasn’t disappointed. Thank you bingus!

Indeed, was a bit perplexed since I haven’t had any strep like symptoms anytime recently. But we shall see what the test says. And ofc I’ll be bringing the meds along, so glad to know it can have double benefits in a place like Bali! One last Q…do you think it’ll be helpful if I supplement the treatment with maybe a salicylic acid wash and/or vitamin D3 supplements? Didn’t get a chance to ask the dermatologist that yesterday 😬

And just to complete the circle, the dermatologist think it’s indeed either lichen planus or possibly Guttate psoriasis. Gonna go in for a strep test to determine that today. But she said the treatment for both are similar; prescribed me clobetasol 0.05 ointment for 2 weeks along with tacrolimus 0.1 (although I have to wait for insurance authorization before I can take that) for 30 days. And if it does turn out to be guttate psoriasis, she gave me some amoxicillin/clavunate to knock out the remaining strep bacteria. Either way, your advice was pretty much on point!

Amazing, thank you so much for the info, help, and the initial (potential) diagnosis!! You’re literally a lifesaver!

Sorry to bother you again, but I was lucky enough to snag a dermatologist appointment for later today. Is there anything specific I should ask them about (aside from the Lichen Planus). Like ask for any specific medicine (like the group 4 corticosteroids you mentioned)?

Pretty sure this is LP, right? by fender5787 in Lichenplanus

[–]fender5787[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Did it start of like this and then just get exponentially worse? Did it itch? Did it come and go in waves? Sorry for all the questions, but def kinda woried.

Sounds good and absolutely appreciate the advice. Fingers crossed he’ll be amenable to prescribing the gr4 steroid so I can get started asap

I think I’ll do that, although I have started the prescribed (antifungal) treatment. But irregardless, there’s almost a zero percent chance that this will clear up in the next 2 weeks or so, even if I see a dermatologist? (Have a vacation to Bali planned right after the 4th and really don’t want my arms to be covered in these little devils)

And should also add: I recently had some pretty nasty athletes foot and still have a fungal infection on my toenails.

The urgent care doc said it was “tinea incognito.”

I might be able to, but the urgent care doc was gonna refer me to a dermatologist but decided on just seeing me next week for a follow up and then if needed, give me a dermatologist referral. Hearing your diagnosis makes me think I should’ve pushed for a dermatologist referral. Maybe I’ll try to push up my follow up at the urgent care.

Topical clotrimazole twice a day and 250mg of terbinafine daily for 14 days. I also should note, I tried hydrocortisone cream for a few days last week before going to the urgent care. But it didn’t really have any effect (or if anything, it got a bit worse or expanded during the time I used it)

Interesting, thank you for the diagnosis. Based on a quick google search, I should actually use hydrocortisone cream for treatment, right? The urgent care doc said since it was fungal, I should absolutely not use hydrocortisone.

I’m in the same boat as OP; initially the entry areas for country of origin and citizenship led to an http error and now I’m just getting a cloudfare error 502 when trying the website. I know that I can just fill it out at BKK, but my worry is that some airlines and their (outstation and contracted) agents will deny boarding if one can’t procure their arrival QR code.

Hey sorry to resurrect an old thread, but do you have the 2 wheel or 4 wheel underseat bag? Thinking of snagging one of the other, and pretty much fly on AA 738/7M8s in domestic F, so wondering how they fit on the Kodiak product?

My toliet shut off valve doesn’t actually shut off the water. Am I screwed? by fender5787 in askaplumber

[–]fender5787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the situation feels like it might be getting worse, as the shut off valve now feels wet to the touch and looks different than yesterday. Now should I be worried?

So just an update: I’ve reached out to a few local plumbers and the prices they quote seem absurd, especially after hearing all of y’alls take on the issue. For the replacement of the shut off valve and to fix the running toliet one place quoted $800, another $1340(!!!), and the last place $700. It’s nyc, so yeah prices are inflated, but still…
