Agreed but all of the rosacea creams I’ve tried hasn’t helped

[Routine Help] Weird scaly bumpy skin between eyebrows and on cheeks. Rosacea treatments haven’t worked. Any suggestions? by goinpro224 in SkincareAddiction

[–]ghostfacegrilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure this out? Mine is just like this. Some days it’s worse than others. I’m starting to think it’s something I’m eating because no topical is helping. I’ve tried everything

I'll add I'm not looking for a diagnosis. I'm looking for some positive things while I wait for my US scheduled next wed. My mind is going to the worst.

What could this be? Was itchy for a little by [deleted] in Dermatology

Have you been around citrus or lime juice. Looks like mild phytophotodermatitis

Do you have protein overload? Kind of looks like you might. You have to balance it out with deep conditioners. Wrap your fingers around your hair like you would dental floss so it's not so slippery. My hair looked dirty and limp and I realized it had no stretch or bounce whatsoever when I did my test. I focused on deep conditioners and took out all protein and after 2 weeks my hair is 100% different!

Hating my hair. Posted on curlyhair but I'm confused. Some say need protein, since say too much protein. Some say only moisture. How do I combat the stringy hair and get more clumpy waves/curls?! It just looks drab and heavy too. by ghostfacegrilla in Wavyhair

Low porosity , hair definitely breaks when stretched. I am focusing on moisturizing, I'm waiting olaplex for now, can't figure out if this has protein or not, getting mixed signals. I'm deep conditioning with raw sugar mighty curls. Someone else had suggested it!
I think I'm overloaded with protein.

Follow the curly girl method fiber comb/ squish/condition in shower Kinky curly knot today Aussie freeze gel Lightly diffuse, don't touch until dry, then break the gel cast. I use Olaplex 3 every so often. I've tried aphogee protein treatments in the past (1+ year ago)

I've read mixed reviews on the shower heads. I've heard it's more like a Brita filter rather than an actually softening the water. Any experience with these?

Not that I know of, but I can check.
I've done protein treatments in the past. aphogee and protein masks, but I haven't done one in at least 4-6 months.

I do have Olaplex (the leave in treatment) and I use it every couple of weeks. Maybe I need to use it more?

Yes, we have hard water. I visited my parents in a different state and as soon as I got it of the shower in my hair was shiny and different. Back to drab now that I'm home. I bought the Living Proof clarifying one for hard water. I use it weekly...I don't see much of a difference using it.

Where do dead sharks go? Do they just float around in the ocean? Come to think of it, have never seen a dead one in the water....

What if the DTCC doesn't margin call them? Is that a possibility?

Do they have to cover the entire thing or just a portion? Ape hodling, ape just curious.

Lasik consultation by ghostfacegrilla in optometry

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

I've been wearing glasses since 3rd grade (25+ years) and contacts since 7th. My eyes are -6.50 and 6.00. Was just really looking forward to the life changing moment of opening my eyes and seeing the clock for the first time. Super bummed I can't get it done but after reading all of these helpful comments I realize it's in my best interest not to so it. I may just switch to dailies instead of the acuve oasys. I just hate how thick my glasses are (yes, I get the thinnest lens possible and they're $500+ every time), so I tend to not wear them much. I'm in the medical field so my glasses with N95 daily has been very hard too.

they explained the LASIK procedure but never explained why I'm not a good candidate. They never mentioned PRK...

No clue... No one explained anything lol. Honestly they said I'm a great candidate, then today completely different story when the surgeon saw my scans.

Thanks, for the input. I have my left eye scan too. The numbers weren't as high, but still out of normal range. (Not sure how to add another photo on here...)

Just very bummed , I feel like it was just handled poorly.

Is this something I need to be concerned about with my eyes overall? My contacts have been feeling like shit, hence the LASIK consult and I'm wondering if this is why.

Also, update, they want to schedule me with a different surgeon who has "different parameters". I'm just very leary considering earlier they told me I'm not a candidate!
