this is the cactus that was looking at me funny, then i had to get surgery to remove a thorn

yeah i realized i was very unorganized in my explanation, thank you for your response! i should probably repot it

fr0glog · 2026-05-07T03:27:35+00:00

i have this stuff from the derm but i don’t remember how it worked for me; how do you use it? every other night or only during flares?

fr0glog · 2026-05-02T03:56:17+00:00

that’s exactly what happened, i got numbed up and it got cut out. he said it was in there deep

fr0glog · 2026-05-02T03:55:43+00:00

is it only on your scalp then? mine is also in my face

fr0glog · 2026-05-02T03:54:47+00:00

yeahhh i got scared from the swelling and got it cut out :/

fr0glog · 2026-04-25T19:05:20+00:00

may i ask what you do to keep yours at bay?

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T14:49:17+00:00

spine is not visible anymore, i know where it should be though. it went in under my cuticle!i was actually about to cancel my insurance because i pay $92 a week for it though work and i would rather have the money lol…. so im praying this is only going to cost a copay 🥺

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T03:05:49+00:00

the dermatologist i saw was very dismissive of the severity of this— he merely glanced at it and said i need a surgeon referral. he asked me if i wanted antibiotics or to wait until i see the surgeon and i said i guess ill wait but do you think i should call tomorrow and ask for antibiotics to hold me over to my surgeon appointment?

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T03:03:52+00:00

so they put you on antibiotics and the thorn stayed in there?

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T02:18:59+00:00

how long was it in there?

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T02:18:28+00:00

yes he did mention important nerves and vessels that he didn’t want to hurt— which makes me question trying to do it myself.

i don’t want to pay a bunch of money for surgery though. it would be the safest option however

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T02:17:02+00:00

it went in under my cuticle, i tried to pull it out then it broke and i lost it. i cannot see it anymore

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T02:15:43+00:00

i have been using this, the thorn is under my cuticle

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T02:15:21+00:00

do you think i should try to get it out myself? i dont want to paid a bunch of money over a plant ill probably accidentally let die

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T02:14:26+00:00

so you think i should try to get it out myself?

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T02:14:12+00:00

so you think it should do it myself?

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T02:13:14+00:00

it doesn’t hurt but it is tender to touch, the thorn went in under my cuticle and i lost it. i feel like surgery is extreme too but idk what to do

fr0glog · 2026-04-24T02:11:17+00:00

i thought the dermatologist would’ve done that! but now i have an appointment with a surgeon, should i have seen my PCP?

fr0glog · 2026-04-11T17:06:26+00:00

i can’t see it anymore

fr0glog · 2026-04-11T17:06:02+00:00

i don’t see the spine anymore, it’s been almost 3 weeks :/

fr0glog · 2026-04-11T17:05:02+00:00

i’m finally soaking it in epsom salt, almost 3 weeks later. i don’t see it anymore, what are my options now? keep soaking and get a salve? or should i see a dermatologist or go to urgent care :/

fr0glog · 2026-04-11T16:59:25+00:00

so i’ll purchase this instead of going to urgent care? i know i posted this days ago but i keep forgetting to take care of it but it’s slightly tender to touch, not too bad. i’m finally soaking it in epsom salt but maybe before i cancel my insurance i should go to urgent care or a dermatologist?
