I recently started electrolysis (I’ve had two sessions so far yay!) and I’m a little confused about the aftercare instructions I was given.

My electrologist doesn’t allow me to use basically any aftercare products at all!! The only thing she allows is baby powder.

I’m not allowed to use any creams, ointments, sprays, aloe vera, ice etc. She specifically repeated these instructions several times right after the treatment (with a very serious tone).

I’m just confused because I see so many people here recommending different types of aftercare after electrolysis, so I’m wondering if my electrologist’s approach is unusual or if this is actually pretty common.

After my first session, I had some redness, tiny white bumps around the follicles, and some scabbing. The bumps disappeared after about 3 days I’d say, while the scabs took around a week to heal. Same process for my second session.

I’m not trying to go against my electrologist’s instructions (and I still haven’t), but I’d really like to know what other people were told to do after their sessions.

Does anyone else have an electrologist who doesn’t allow any aftercare products?

A little additional context about my electrologist: She has been doing electrolysis for 20+ years and has personally struggled with facial hair herself. She actually became an electrologist after dealing with her own hair growth. Most of her clients have pcos and their reviews are amazing. She only does thermolysis.

Hi everyone,
I'm completely locked out of my laptop and need urgent help!!! I'm a student and my exams are coming up in a couple weeks this is the worst timing ever.

My device: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (GA605WV), AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, Windows 11

What happened: I cleared the TPM (via tpm.msc) to try to fix a TPM attestation issue. Before doing so, I confirmed BitLocker Protection Status was "Off" and saved my BitLocker recovery key.
After the TPM clear and reboot, Windows no longer accepts my Microsoft account password at the login screen. I’ve tried every and any password, even the BitLocker key. I can successfully log into my Microsoft account on my phone tho.

What I have already tried:
• Safe Mode –> password still not accepted
• Reset Microsoft account password multiple times (confirmed correct on phone) but I guess it doesn’t sync on my laptop?
• Windows Reset (with “Keep my files") – completed successfully but problem persists
• regedit via Recovery: changed DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion from 2 to 0
• net user Administrator [password] via Recovery Command Prompt – succeeded but no "Other user" option appears on login screen
• Checked BIOS Security tab – no TPM option visible. Advanced tab also has no TPM/fTPM setting available.
• wpeutil InitializeNetwork – failed (no network in Recovery)
• System Restore – no restore points available (likely deleted by Windows Reset, should’ve tried it before resetting it smh🤦🏻‍♀️)

Running net user in the Recovery Command Prompt shows only Administrator, DefaultAccount, Guest, and WDAGUtilityAccount. My usual account is not listed, which suggests it may be a Microsoft account rather than a local account.
(I didn’t remember whether it was a local one or not lol pls don’t laugh)

Current situation: Login screen shows "Something happened and your PIN isn't available" and key password field rejects attempts and occasionally shows "Invalid credentials, delaying next
attempt" after multiple tries.

Has anyone experienced this after a TPM clear? WHAT CAN I DO? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
