Fungal acne from hot flashes

In the last few months I started getting 10 minute periods where I get completely drenched in sweat, often in the mornings about an hour or two after waking up (like right when I get to work). At first I got heat rash from these spells, but at this point I have fungal acne on my chest, back, and legs from getting so sweaty under my clothes. I had it once before and fluconazole treated it, but how can I prevent it from reoccurring if I keep getting drenched and can’t always shower until I get home? Is there a powder anyone recommends? I’m 38 and along with hot flashes have recently developed melasma and cystic hormonal acne, so I’m pretty confident it’s perimenopause but my doctor is male and says I’m too young. I feel very dismissed and glad I found this sub

Amazon package came full of tiny dead bugs

I ordered a cat tree on amazon and normally don’t take the boxes in my apartment because I once had a roach infestation and read of people getting them that way. Well there were too many heavy parts to unbox it, so I brought it up 3 floors and started taking it out. Little dead bugs were all over the bottom of the box and falling off the items. Google told me pantry moths, chatgpt told me either clothes moths or book lice..big difference. What are they really? Trying to figure out my next steps

New item came full of bugs

I ordered a cat tree and when I was pulling out the parts all of these bugs kept falling off the items and were in the bottom of the box. I’m pissed and don’t want to return it because I don’t want bugs in my car. They look like pupae or some sort of larvae but some have wings. I’m just so grossed out. Just wanted to share.

Fungal acne on legs

A few years ago I got fungal acne for the first time on my chest and it was misdiagnosed for 6 months and it got horrible and spread all over my back and chest (photo of back). It took 2 wks of fluconazole 200mg every day, then 200mg 1x a week for 6 weeks to get rid of it, along with using ketaconazole. Nothing last year. Now I’m 38 and apparently going through hormone changes and get 5 min where my whole body gets hot and sweaty like 1-2x a day. Suddenly I’m getting fungal acne on chest and back again, but also all over the backs of my legs. What body lotion is safe to use and has anyone else had it on their legs? I fear I won’t be able to solve it with the warm weather now.

Question about cause..

I’m unclear on if melasma is sun damage or not? Or is it hormonal? I’m 38 and these brown and white patches have showed up the last year or two and are getting worse. I was told maybe melasma but I don’t understand how that’s different than longterm sun damage. What caused your melasma?

Been poor for 3 years, just accidentally made $1100 off a $5 goodwill planter. Feel like the luckiest gal in the world today.

Fake bacon BLT with cheese on the butt-end of leftover bread.

I moved into an infested apartment in 2023 and lost all my furniture and belongings. Between exterminators and hotels I went through my savings. Been struggling since. Bought my mom a plant for mother’s day and got a planter from goodwill, but it was too small. She told me to research it because it looked old. Got it appraised at 3 places and made $1100 off my $5 planter🤗😭🤗. I can’t believe good things happen to me too!! I just wanted to share my joy- I needed that accident so bad 🙏🙏

Found a denim 1 piece actually long enough for me!

I’m tall and can never find anything long enough. It feels like someone donated this just for me😭🤗. It’s wrinkly but I’ll iron it- just excited for this find :)

Got this planter for $5, just sold for $800

For a poor gal like me this was one of my most exciting finds and a complete accident. I bought this planter to put a plant in for mother’s day, but the plant didn’t fit. It was really heavy and felt old, so I started researching it and found it might be worth something. I got it appraised at an antique store that specializes in asian antiques and they offered to buy it for $800. I needed that so bad! Just wanted to share my excitement 🤗 I do resell from time to time but was not educated on asian porcelain and had no idea.

Looking for any info on this planter, as well as any tips for getting the mineral build up off the inside

It’s extremely heavy but I thought it was so lovely, just needs a little inside clean up
