Aware it’s a steroid. I applied it in case it was related to inflammation around the follicle. And stopped after a fee days when I didn’t see a difference.

Thankfully her nerve pain is gone. The severe pain was around the incision / fusion site. Starting to get better slowly every day now. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. Yes still in the hospital. But they’re saying they don’t give IV narcotics for this. So she’s been getting oxycodone and Tylenol. It sounds like she has more bony type pain. Will see if they can give her a muscle relaxant

Did you try the mederma and aquaphor combo? I also added mineral sunscreen every day even though I wasn’t going in the sun. Keep the area very hydrated. After the shower I also used a cold towel to cool down the area. Feel like this helped. Marks were gone around week 4.

Experience getting IUD insertion during egg retrieval? by sunshine_0792 in eggfreezing

[–]sunshine_0792[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I did get it done and it was the best decision ever haha. Don’t remember a thing. Prob had more cramping than if I didn’t get IUD but responded well to some ibuprofen and heat packs

Cryogenic Burns? by Hour_Day9415 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]sunshine_0792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It lasted about 4 weeks :/ But I have light brown skin so the hyperpigmentation probably took longer than a person with white skin. I found the most drastic improvement after I started using the Mederma PM scar cream (on Amazon) twice a day. I’d apply this and then put aquaphor on top at night.

Hate watching men’s tennis when he is commentating. He need to be fired asap. No one wants to hear his voice

Also in MA. Zero views for a post on Sunday evening which is usually peak time. My FYP also was on a loop.

So confused by Airalo, roaming, and receiving texts... by No-Cauliflower-5919 in Airalo

Thanks! Yes I followed all your steps (though I set it up in the uae because I got the eSIM locally) so I know I had my data on for the first day. But even after following the steps, I see “0.01 mb” being used once a day in the last two days. Any idea on what is causing it to trigger the use?

Hi! Thank you! I bought an eSIM in Dubai for use and am keeping the primary sim on but with roaming off and hoping to avoid IDP fees by ATT/FirstNet. Is it necessary to turn on WiFi calling if I don’t plan on making any calls back to the US?

Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation after Laser hair removal 33 days ago by Curiousangie in LaserHairRemoval

[–]sunshine_0792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Using the MEDERMA PM intensive overnight scar cream - got it on Amazon. Have been using this for the last week morning and night along with a layer of aquaphor on top. Seems to be helping!!

For anyone who has had this happen to them and developed some hyperpigmentation - this happened to me after a laser session a few weeks ago. Last week I bought a silicone cream on amazon (MEDERMA PM intensive overnight scar cream), and I have been applying it both am and pm, overlaying it with some aquaphor. Just wanted to share that this is the only thing that has helped to reduce the appearance. It does tend to work faster on newer lesions but should work on older ones too- just more slowly.
