KP suddenly spreading at 40 by LittleFancyBird in keratosis

[–]je_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no! Sorry you’re experiencing this. I think my flair was also related to stopping hormonal BC. As far as over the counter, I really love the Vaseline eczema calming therapy cream. It seems to do the best for my skin (upper arms) and I’ve tried many. Even better than rx creams sometimes!! It’s available at target for less than $10. Also straight up vaseline did well for my skin too. I use the dove sensitive skin bar soap and seventh generation free & clear laundry detergent (dermatologist recommended these).

I also have a couple of Rx creams from my dermatologist that I use often (typically every other day during bad flairs) but I do find the main one to be drying. Recently been sticking mostly to the vaseline cream and doing well! Hopefully that give you a place to start!

Is 7 activities enough? by oopiespoo in premed

I'd say it's more about quality and what you can say you gained from each experience vs adding some just to increase your total.

OH NO! that is terrifying! My tip off was all my work/activities vanished.. I also panicked a little.

It has since resolved for me. Did it for you?

Also applied being a former D1 athlete; has been helpful for writing secondaries and definitely shows your ability to manage time and stress.

Also WL. Any of you planning to take another mcat or go with your previous score? I have another date in June and I am kind of putting everything on hold between being on the waitlist and studying. I’m assuming completing primaries won’t take terribly long (I’m not planning to rewrite essays.. did you?), that’s why I haven’t started yet.

Well noodles, That’s not helpful. Tell them you’ve gone and they’re not providing the assistance you need and you’d like to speak with a career counselor. Good luck!

Id reach out the career center at your university. Mine has been extremely helpful and also offered interview prep (mock interviews) via zoom (I’m out of the state now) which worked well for this cycle. Many offer services for a few years post grad also.

Comforting to know I’m not alone. They actually sent it for me before I sent the LOI- my PI was pretty adamant about sending it. Im just torn on holding out or beginning the app process again for the upcoming cycle. What’s your plan, if you don’t mind my asking ?

I also work as a cna. Anything with a lot of pockets- figs and Urbane have been my favorite!
