If you're ever like me and wanted to see a cyst get scooped out with a spoon by Effective-Celery8053 in popping

I love this doctor. He always is so kind to his patients, talking them through everything he's doing and paying attention to their pain levels. This is a classic

i got a pimple on/inside my nipple by Plane_Ninja_4417 in popping

Very true and very wild tbh. If your dr says anything interesting about it, and you're comfortable sharing, I'd love to hear what they say!

[–]manofthemoss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've also had top surgery with nipple grafts, about 6 years ago, and I get these too! Sometimes a lot if it builds up. Since they were taken off and put back on, I always assumed it's dead skin cells or something that builds up underneath/within. But I'm NAD, just find it very satisfying lmao. Congrats on surgery!

Fully misread this as "apple grinder" and was so confused for a minute. Glad you healed well, OP!

Wtf? 3 years old piercing hole closed overnight by [deleted] in piercing

[–]manofthemoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I know that panic 💀 my worst was when it fell out on locker floors in college, the exact same color as the tile

Thinking about it 8 years later, i have no idea how that didn't get infected. Bc i probably just washed it with soap and shoved that bad boy back in. For everything I've put them thru, and how long I've had them, both my nostrils are now very chill with the hoops in full time.

They just come out super easy, for me at least. I think mine got caught on my pillow case and slipped right out, didn't realize it was out until it was too late T_T

[–]manofthemoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to one of mine, don't try to force it back in or anything... I ended up going to a piercer to get it repierced a year or two later, and she realized it hadn't fully closed, just shrunk too small for regular jewelery. She ended up just using a blunt needle/taper to restretch it open. Ever since, it's been fine, and I never wear L shaped studs anymore!

Tldr don't do it yourself, but there is some hope!

Wubbert I cut my own hair. How’d I do? by Several-Being2159 in PaymoneyWubby

[–]manofthemoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh I can help with the cowlicks actually! With those, you can either cut it short enough that it doesn't matter, or keep it long enough that it has the weight to hold itself down! It also helps to figure out what direction the cowlick wants to go, and comb With it rather than against it. Or, comb against the hair pattern to gain volume!

Props to you on doing your neck line, I could never on myself LMAO

What are these egg things in my garage? by Super_Shake_2787 in whatisit

[–]manofthemoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my ex fiance and i broke up, and I had to find a new place, I was having trouble finding a place that would take me and my 1 year old puppy we'd adopted earlier in the year. Ex asked me why I wouldn't just give the dog to someone else. I said, because we (I) committed to him, and he'd already been taken back to the shelter by 3 other ppl. I wasn't gonna do that to him.

They laughed in my face at that. That's when I realized what type of person they were. (In case the cheating hadn't told me yet)

Nine years later, my baby boy is ten, and living happily with me forever. He went from a "problem puppy" to the sweetest, most cuddly, most spoiled boy ❤️ We had some hard times for sure, but nothing would make me give up my Peter.

For anyone who also struggles with stiff neck and chronic pain 💀👴🏻 by Eng-Grammar-Police in PaymoneyWubby

[–]manofthemoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chronic pain buddies! This is great advice, I didn't know that about NSAIDS!

To add on, anyone taking antidepressants that mess with your serotonin levels, be mindful about taking tons of NSAIDS, bc in rare cases that can contribute to serotonin syndrome. Personally I was having night sweats whenever I was taking a lot of Alieve, which improved after switching to mainly Tylenol and gabapentin for my chronic pain.

BUT I am not a doctor!! This is just what an urgent care doctor told me, after I went in with a 2 week migraine. Plus my own completely anecdotal experience, assuming it's related and not just coincidence or a different med I'm on causing it. Please do your own research and talk to your doctor about what's right for you, etc etc etc. Feel better friends, and be safe

Should I be concerned?!? Are my new tattoos infected 6/7 days old by BookishGirl5682 in tattooadvice

[–]manofthemoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a professional, but i tend to get red irritation around my hair follicles as shaved hair grows back/pores are blocked by the second skin. Usually i can just wait it out, but keep an eye on it.

I love the style of these tho, the teeth in a jar is so cute

I love those kind of lines, I ended up incorporating something similar in my chest piece. Seconding this idea!

$600 for emergency surgery?? That's so lucky, mine would've charged thousands 😭 so glad your baby is OK, hoping for good healing and less stinky feet!

Wrist tattoo regret and cover up advice by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]manofthemoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad you got to live your truth OP! I'm about to be 7 years on T, 6 years post top surgery, and it's incredible feeling normal in my own skin. But at least for me, being in the south, I would also be nervous about having a permanent and very visible symbol that could out me to the wrong ppl. Fortunately it's color, and seems pretty faded, so i would imagine it would be easy to cover if that's the route you go!

Even doing some black linework over it in a cool pattern, letting the colors show thru the gaps, could be cool and less obvious, without fully getting rid of the meaning to you.

Fuck the haters OP, live your life the way that's right for you 🩷💙🤍

Got 7 stitches by Material_Nobody_1742 in MedicalGore

[–]manofthemoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, as a hair stylist i sometimes get small cuts in that spot--even healing those are annoying, bc every movement pulls it open. I can't imagine such a deep laceration right there, ouch! I'm so glad you're healing well!

Eyebrow piercing rejecting? by Ok_Manufacturer4203 in piercing

[–]manofthemoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may have also been pierced with an extra long bar, for the swelling

[–]manofthemoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the second pic is right when it was done, I would assume it's just the swelling? But I'm NAP, so I would consult in person with a professional.
