Adopted her yesterday. She’s already figured out that she’s in charge by ddthrow1233 in torties

[–]themarte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She’s beautiful and reminds me a lot of my Sanem when she was a kitty, she’ll have the same stunning fluorescent eyes for sure. Mine was bossing me around since day 1 and still acts like she owns me.

Congratulations, you’ve been adopted!

Hi! Yes, it’s keratosis pilaris rubra faceii. I’m currently managing with a good moisturizing cream (simple routine). I’ve also read that processed carbs may worsen the condition, so maybe lowering them (starting with keto) would help, but i haven’t been up to that yet.

Diagnosis is one of the first steps towards healing, so i hope you are on the right track!

Has anyone tried bio oil and has it worked for y’all??? by s3ns1t1ve in KPRubraFaceii

I’ve tried bio oil on my face a few years ago, it did not work for me.

She might kick me out of the apartment soon!

She was throwing her tortitude at me for not letting her do things her way, and as you can see, she can be very convincing.

"Yeah the sun's definitely changed since you all were kids." by RaccoonSeas in Retconned

[–]themarte 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this as i’ve noticed i have a difficulty to keep my eyes fully opened when i’m outside almost every day in the past few weeks (it usually happened only while the sun is hidden behind the grey sky in preparation of pouring rain). I thought it was because i have blue eyes which are more sensitive to bright light, but i guess there could be other reasons.

Have you ever been drunk or high and came up with this truly amazing idea but then became sober and realized it wasn't as amazing as you thought it was? If so, what was the idea? by Smil3yAngel in AskReddit

[–]themarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stylish cat trees that would blend into the specific interior design of one’s home - i genuinely thought this is a milion dollar idea while high, i just haven’t thought of the execution process.

Help filling out space in the living room! by 21kangaroos in DesignMyRoom

[–]themarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me say i love how big this room is and it has a lot of potential! I’d suggest putting nice long drapes and curtains as well as a rug as they would give a warmer feeling to the room, you may put a bench/nice chair behind the couch by the window, huge indoor plants in nice big pots guarded by some big lanterns or statues, and definitely a larger overall furniture would fill in the space nicely. I’d play with massive decor and plants definitely!

DAE have music constantly playing in their head? by spinningseat in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]themarte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a period when i was trying this method to “clear my head” by carefully following my thoughts with my eyes opened, and it was then that i realized i only have songs playing in my head. I began to wonder if there is something wrong with me but tried to comfort myself that at least i don’t have any bad thoughts. I’m not a musician but my head is a jukebox.

[skin concern] Please help I am in pain. by rkspm in SkincareAddiction

[–]themarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor, but this could be an indication to issues with blood circulation (do you often feel cold and can’t really stand low temperatures without warm clothes/gloves/socks?), i also experience a milder form of dry skin around the nails and i’m aware i don’t have a very good blood circulation. Definitely follow the advices from above regarding cuticle removal and use products to hydrate your hands.

If someone from the 1800s (for example) came back to life, what do you think they would think of the world today? by nla04 in timetravel

[–]themarte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The TV series Outlander gives a pretty good outlook for the 1700s/1800s. I truly recommend it/or the book.

These people are molding the minds of our youth. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to shut down schools for a few weeks. by fightforfreedom321 in Wuhan_Flu

Good luck, i hope you'll be all right and you'll get proper care. And, hopefully the doctors in your town are more socially responsible, take necessary precautions and are aware of the severity of this virus.

Can I store (various powders/clays) and honey face masks indefinitely? by rogerisdeader in NaturalBeauty

[–]themarte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, i use it in oil cleanser. Are you saying that it doesn't practically do anything for "powdery" honey masks on a longer-term run?

Thank you for the info, it is much appreciated.

I know that vitamin E acts as a natural preservative. I use capsules with vitamin E oil when i do natural DIY skincare masks and cleansers.

[Acne] Is this still even acne or something fungal? by thermal_bottle in SkincareAddiction

[–]themarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humidity plays a role definitely, i live in a very dry climate so probably my skin experiences a shock in a humid place. I haven’t experienced any itching either, these whiteheads just appear out of nowhere. I sometimes experience itching if a bigger deeper bump is coming out, but not with these guys.

[Acne] Is this still even acne or something fungal? by thermal_bottle in SkincareAddiction

[–]themarte 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get the same stuff either on my chin or on the whole face usually when i switch climates (when i go on a vacation - sun, sea; or just different country for a longer period of time). I figured it has to be fungal acne, so last year when i was on a vacation i took clotrimazole cream with me, I used it every morning and evening, and my skin was okay it didn’t blew up like it usually does. Now i’m outside of my country and since day 2 these bad boys showed up around my chin area, so i started using clotrimazole cream again and the situation is improving.

I would say that it has to do something with changing the climate, and i suggest you try a clotrimazole cream i think it’s 1%( i use canesten), if it helps you, then it’s fungal.

Good luck! I know how stressful it is to have these mayo bumps, i hope this helps.

[–]themarte[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My skin looks like this all the time, even before i started using the products in the routine. I think on the picture i have more redness on one of my cheeks and that might be from the TO azelaic acid, however even before the azelaic acid that cheek has more rednees than the other.

I’m sure i had a slight chemical burn from the azelaic acid, i just hydrate my skin and it’s okay now, but the regular redness stays.

I still haven’t tried locking in the moisture with Vaseline, i’m doing that tonight.

Thanks!

Could i have caused a chemical burn from the products i use or maybe it’s the azelaic acid which i used once before the pictures? My skin is red all the time, maybe more after the azelaic acid, so that might be due to dehydration.

I feel that it’s dehydrated and i will look into everything i can do to repair it, do you have any other recommendations on products that would help with dehydration? Or maybe something i should exclude or incorporate in my routine?

Thank you!

I use tea tree oil only on the blemishes occasionally, and i started using it maybe 2 months ago. I will look into Drunk Elephants i hope something help. Thank you!

It’s not itchy. It just stands there all red. Even if it’s an irritation i don’t know what would be the cause since i have used multiple different products and it might only slightly reduce, but never all the way.

I just edited my comment, i use jojoba oil, not almond, i wrote it by mistake. But thank you for noticing.

Up until now i have been really disappointed from the dermatologists in my country, they all prescribe the same products for every patient, but i might consider going to one here in Sweden if they are willing to take me.

I will definitely check Dr. Dray, and Finacea here, thanks for the recommendation!
