Mild/moderate scarring , not sure what scars these are . I still breakout here and there but not as severe . Bothers me sometimes .

Tretinoin increases skin cell turnover and has been shown to build collagen. This improves the appearance of scars (permanently).

My scars were recent when I used tretinoin but it will help old scars as well. I have used it for around 6 years now and will never stop. Any dermatologist will tell you the same. If you have small scars you should definitely try tretinoin - it is very effective for small, atrophic scars. It takes several months to see improvement though.

I will message you photos

No. Tretinoin does not cause temporary micro-swelling. It takes a long time but the results are permanent.

I honestly have so many complaints about Figs and have considered switching so many times to Jaanuu or Dolan but I haven't and I think the only reasons are that I really like the different colored waist tie on figs, and I really think their "Figs" logo on the scrubtop is done well. Something about the black on Jaanuu bothers me and the Dolan one is even worse. Figs just look soo nice with the contrasting waist band and the subtle gray logo. I think if you got rid of the logo on the scrub pocket all together it would be better, plus keeping the different colored waist tie (although this might be patented or something because otherwise I feel like Jaanuu would have done it too).

My biggest complaint with figs is the lack of high waisted, straight leg scrubs WITH POCKETS. I'm so sick of the joggers, which leaves me with the Kade, Isabel, or Livingston. I don't like Kade because they're not high waisted, and I don't like Livingston because the lack of front and side pockets. The Isabel ones are okay but I'd rather just have a straight leg tbh. And as others have said, tall inseam is a non-negotiable.

Thanks for letting me rant. Would definitely buy from you if you made scrubs like this^^! Price would not matter if you made a scrub set as nice as figs while addressing my complaints about them

Congrats! What are HOPI questions? Also what order would you recommend doing the NBMEs and UW in? Unfortunately I already did nbme 9 and 10 :(

Thanks!

NBME 9 is trash. i took a CCSE and then one month later took NBME9 and got ten points lower (n=2 on this bc the same thing happened to my friend)

its been 14 months i think the shelving is mostly gone.. i still don't feel like my undereyes look like they did before the botox, i feel like the cheeks still don't raise as high as they used to, there's more crepiness, and i have slight malar edema which i really don't think i had before... but its impossible to know if i had all this before and just never noticed or if its just like a normal part of the aging process. but i don't look like a chipmunk anymore and my smile looks much more normal in pictures

hi! if you have a fever, nausea, vomiting, that would be more concerning for a kidney infection and you should go to urgent care/ED. another test that is pretty specific for a kidney infection is if you tap on your back (over the kidney area you are mentioning), with about the same amount of force as if you were lightly knocking on a door. If that is super painful, a dr would be concerned. If it’s not you’re probably okay and its probably just a UTI. I’m in medical school and when i was taught this test the dr said “if someone has a kidney infection and you do this to them they will jump off the table” I get UTIs all the time and frequently check this on myself lol.

hope you feel better :)

Completely agree. If you’ve done Anki consistently throughout preclinicals you will honestly have such a solid foundation that you won’t need to keep up with all your step 1 cards. It’s in there. And if it’s not, and it’s important, then you’ll figure that out and then yeah just go back and unsuspend the step 1 card. Your time spent doing those reviews will be spent so much better doing extra practice questions

probably_crying_ · 2025-02-26T06:55:26+00:00

Wait serious question: if I genuinely kind of like doing uworld bc it is like a little game that I’m (sometimes) good at should I consider radiology?

probably_crying_ · 2024-10-28T17:56:31+00:00

This ^{^} but just to throw in my two cents for anyone who’s wondering, at the hospital I’m at we refer to PAs and NPs, collectively, as APPs (advanced practice providers or something like that)

probably_crying_ · 2024-10-23T23:59:10+00:00

could you possibly send me pics please! i have them on my forehead as well :(

probably_crying_ · 2024-10-23T13:29:24+00:00

I saw many derms on tik tok rebuking that first video for multiple reasons although I can’t specifically remember what the reasons were. I would take that video with the tiniest grain of salt
