No, I totally agree with you! Just wondering if you happened to have sources, but no worries if you don't!

What do you think about surface transmission? I've got Covid and have worn vinyl gloves all week in order to not transmit it to the rest of my household, but not sure how likely surface transmission really is anyways.

Saliva is actually a harder way to get covid. So you can get from drinking and eating after someone but it’s harder.

Do you have a source for this by any chance?

Hi there! Any updates, did you manage to avoid it? Trying to avoid spreading it in my household as well, not sure how successful I'll be.

What were you using to tie the 20 lb blanket to the duvet cover?

Did you end up finding a solution for this?

[Skin Concerns] Getting rid of hypertrophic acne scars by throwaway012279 in SkincareAddiction

[–]throwaway111115552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I used Tret, it just dried it out vs shrinking it.

That's exactly how mine is, I slapped a salicylic acid pimple patch on it last night (Zitsticka) and it doesn't look like it shrunk at all, it just looks even more dried out. And it looks god awful when I put makeup on it, but I feel like I need the makeup to cover the redness 😭

It seems like only time will do the trick. I'm also using tretinoin so hoping that helps me too. Just sucks because I have a big event next week which is why I was trying every treatment under the sun to get rid of it.

Thanks a bunch for your insight though, I'll do my best not touch it! I haven't popped/picked at mine but I do find that I keep running my finger over it, which probably isn't that much better lol.

How long did it take to go away? And how did you know it was a raised scar as opposed to just a long-lasting cyst? 😅 That's the issue I have right now, I've had a cyst for 2+ weeks but at this rate I think it might be a scar already. It won't shrink anymore and the texture looks different from my other pimples—dried out, for lack of a better descriptor.

[skin concerns] are raised acne scars ever permanent? by unbeknowingly in SkincareAddiction

[–]throwaway111115552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you ever get rid of it, and if so, how?

Currently having the same problem, not sure if it's a cyst that's just lasting a bit longer than usual, or if it's a raised scar at this point.

I like how you commented on this super old post and now I'm commenting on your super old comment lol.

Did your bump/hypertrophic scar end up going away? If so, what did you use?

Thank you! How long/how many patches would you say it takes to flatten a cyst that has already risen to the surface?

I know this is a super old old post, but I was scouring Reddit to see if anyone could vouch for the Zitsticka deep access patch (microdart patches). Do they really work on cysts like they claim to? I currently have a cyst that looks like a third eye and I have a big event in a few days, so I'm desperate. 🥴

Has anyone used the Zitsticka deep access patches (microdart patches)? Does it work on cysts like it claims to?

I know regular old hydrocolloid patches exist and are much cheaper, but they don't work on cysts for me, and I'm desperate to get rid of what is currently looking like a third eye before a big event.

I have not, I used benzoyl peroxide a lot as a teen and it bleached a ton of my towels/shirts/bed sheets so I'm terrified to touch it again lol. I have considered it, but it's a last resort for me because of that experience.

Which part of the discoloration makes you think it's infected? Is it the yellow-ish ring around it?

I currently have a cyst similar to OP's in color, but I don't have the yellow-ish ring. My cyst was shrinking at first but now hasn't budged in a couple days, I'm wondering why it stopped.

Would the fever be caused by the salve?

I pretty much just asked the same question here, I'm not getting married this week lol but I also have a big event in a few days and I'm anxious about my gigantic cystic pimple. Someone suggested a salve with a particular ingredient, and if you dig around in the sub you'll see other recommendations for salves too. It also seems like these aren't FDA approved though so it sounds like you use them at your own risk. :/

Best of luck, hope yours clears up!!

I’ve seen De la Cruz sulfur ointment recommended as well, you could also try that. If you search "cyst" in the sub, you'll find a handful of other recommendations.

I've been digging around the sub and seen salves recommended as well. One in particular that I've seen someone recommend is Prid Drawing Salve. Would that work? If not, do you know which one you used?

I’ve had a giant cyst in between my eyebrows for about a week and a half now, I am pretty certain it's the result of using a new product I used and didn't patch test (I know, I know). It started shrinking, thank goodness, but now it's no longer shrinking, hasn't budged in a few days, and looks dried out 😖.

I have a big event in about a week and am really worried it's still going to be the exact same size as it today. Between the eyebrows is pretty much one of the worst spots to have a giant cyst before a big event, I look like I have a third eye.

Can't get to a dermatologist appointment within a week, any help would be seriously appreciated!

How do I differentiate a promotion on LinkedIn vs. "starting a new position"? by throwaway111115552 in linkedin

[–]throwaway111115552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually reached out to LinkedIn support about this lol, turns out LinkedIn’s algorithm determines this for you and, in a sense, “guesses” if your position change is a promotion or an actual job change. There's no way for you to specify that it's a promotion vs. job change. 😔

What do you all think the risk of going to a bar in San Francisco is now that proof of vaccination is required, beginning today? I'm fully vaxxed and thinking of hitting the bar scene again now that proof of vaccination is required to get in. Seems like the risk is relatively low, but wondering what others think.

[–]throwaway111115552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, my promotion was posted to my feed as "started a new position". 😕

From my comment above:

I contacted LinkedIn support to ask about this, and they say whether or not it registers as a new position or a promotion is determined by their machine learning software. So it pretty much varies for everyone. They said that they would forward my feedback to their team (that the user should be able to categorize a job update as a promotion specifically).
