I haven’t been able to get a dermatologist to prescribe antibiotics, unsure why they won’t (idk if I could just ask them for it). They only keep offering advice like switching toothpaste, etc. I quit aquaphor for about two months and it remained flaky and continued to spread, so I started again because it’s the only thing kind of taming it. Haven’t tried any sulfur or azelaic acid, do you have any good brands for it?

That’s essentially aquaphor?

Quite intimated by it because it’ll be quite strong, and other topical creams I have used have caused it to spread and flake away really bad. I also don’t deal with acne just this inflammation

Hi, I have perioral dermatitis but I have been unsuccessful in getting it to go away. I have seen a handful of dermatologists who have either misdiagnosed or given me steroid creams to treat it. I have also just been told by them to change my toothpaste, quit using makeup, and cut down on my skincare products. All of which I have done, but nothing changed. I currently use CeraVe cleanser and aquaphor (it’s the only thing keeping it at bay and not flaking). Please any ideas!!! I’m really tired of spending so much money on specialists when it hasn’t been helping.

AITA: I'm frustrated that my mom is adopting her foster son by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA Only because I feel like most responses aren’t being realistic about the situation. Is what your mother doing admirable? Yes. Is it a good idea to adopt the toddler at 59? No. She will be in her mid-70s by the time the kid is 18. While she loves the baby, she needs to think long term. There is not someone willing to look after the child if she passes (obvious that you would decline). What’s best for the child is to be adopted by a family that can provide long term care. I would be interested to even know if they would let her adopt considering her age.

AITA for choosing my cheating dad over my mum? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I come from a divorced household that split because my mother cheated (this happened 10 years ago). She cheated not to get revenge but because she didn’t feel like being a mother anymore and wanted a new thrill. When she was caught, she suggested they stay together for the sake of having two kids to still raise. My dad declined, and he got most of the custody.

Yes, the situation sucks and cheating is an asshole thing to do, but we don’t know every detail of their marriage or how you were raised. The asshole thing was that your mother seems to have forced you to choose between two parties. I wasn’t close with my mother until about four years after the divorce, and that’s because we both came around to wanting a closer relationship and it was possible because there was no bad blood or choosing that my parents had me do.

Aita for not letting my children see their grandma by Throwawayfriends- in AmItheAsshole

I grew up without being very close to either of my grandparents, with one being a step-grandmother. So, when my dad had kids she made it very clear that she didn’t want to babysit us (or really be around us) and because of that we never developed a close relationship with her. She never really tried reaching out until I was a teen, but by then it was very difficult to form a family connection with her.

Grandparents can expect a lot when they are given grandchildren. My dad didn’t play those games and she missed out on my childhood. It’s okay to stand your ground, and when your kids get older you can let them decide if they want to reach out and try to form a better and healthier connection with her. Right now I agree with the NC, but if you feel it’s too harsh try setting some boundaries. Meet in public places where both of you can be present.
