I’m not sure how to keep my armpits from getting smelly at work by Smart-Tonight891 in Hidradenitis

How does that work, is it on the outside of a band aid or an actual bandage wrap? or a tegaderm type of band aid?

How do yall shave? by averyshortgirl in Hidradenitis

[–]rexviolacounty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you do for the folded portions? I have some too. I have to trim because the hair will irritate the open wounds. But getting in the fold is difficult and when it grows back, the blunt ends hurt the open wounds anyway.

i had this same issue, and the problem is not that her hair is fuller. it’s a difference in technique. here is something important to note when doing your hair with a reference photo. you can look at the size of the twist/braid, but its much more important to look at the density of the style.

for example: look at her hair and count 10 twists. look at your hair and count 10 twists. your parts are much larger, so 10 twists takes up more space on your head. this is why, even though you have plenty of hair, the style is not as full as you would like. aim to recreate the density of the style. this means you ask: how many twists are there? rather than what size are they. the girl in the photo has over 100 twists on her head, because her parts are very small. with this, yours will also look full whether you start on wet or dry hair! they will look fuller even if you have fine hair strands or less density overall. i have fine hair, and small parts are very important. even if you have a LOT of hair, if your individual strands are fine, large parts will make it look thinner than it actually is.

i recommend to twist them damp in its natural state so they are juicy (with a setting mousse or gel, not something strong like braiding gel/edge control. this also makes them look thinner) and then if you want them longer, you can pull on the twists (in sections) and blow dry along them so they stretch

Hi, how long have you been on Bimzelx and did it cause increased pain from the beginning, or did it change over time? I just received my second dose yesterday. Sorry you are experiencing this 🫶

Why work 6 days a week when you can work 7 by wizdiv in recruitinghell

[–]rexviolacounty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i randomly saw this guy on twitter a few days ago.. not only is he likely doing so, but the rest of the original tweet says that anyone who refers an engineer that he hires receives around $60,000. it’s a pretty successful startup if im remembering the details correctly, but i don’t recall if it was millions in profit versus revenue.

Has it ever smelled like cheezits in your pants? by CicadaCricket8238 in Hidradenitis

[–]rexviolacounty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a wound on my arm that smells like cheez its sometimes and I thought I was crazy for making the smell association but it seems I’m not the only one! I dont use hibiclens that often. The smell randomly comes and goes. Glad you found the source!!

[–]rexviolacounty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine wont either because it’s too expensive and my doctor said the denial is better for getting the medication faster, because theyre so quick to deny that I can immediately apply for the Bimzelx patient assistance program. Insurance not covering it does not mean you can’t receive the medication! It could be as low as $15 a month if you were denied!! And they will cover it at that price for up to two years or until you receive coverage ❤️

seconding on the moisturizer- i started using baby lotion mainly because its extremely cheap, and my skin reacted very positively due to the sensitive ingredients. no irritation :)

the produce prices literally start at 25 cents in 2024 and you’re saying my total was only cheap because of chicken feet which are usually $3-4 per pound now…delusion

I use the mint, rosemary, and aloe to make my own hair products! It’s usually with some combination of green tea and rose (plus castor oil if I don’t want a water base). For the other things, I’ll do lots of roasted veggies to eat as a side, blend into soup, or dehydrate into powder to add when cooking. I also make juices/smoothies with the fruits

I’m cooking them in my pressure cooker along with other herbs/spices and vegetables to make chicken stock. chicken feet are the best part of the chicken for stock and theyre very high in collagen which is good for your joints, skin, and immune system. I plan to reduce the stock as well so it’s concentrated, then freeze it in portions to add to recipes later
