[routine help] What happens if you get an ingrown hair and the hair never comes out? Does it just kinda chill in ur body forever?

This seems like a dumb question but it’s something i’ve wondered abt from time to time. I got a massive pimple a month or two ago and my friend who’s a dr told me it’s an ingrown. It went away but took like a week of it looking ugly, then it was just pink, now it’s very faintly pink but i can feel a lil bump underneath. Does that mean there’s just a fuckin hair chillin in my body?

What would you do with a spare m2 1tb drive and two 240gb sata ssds?

I just have them lying around and have since i built my server. I mostly use my server for plex and immich. Other specs are:

Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z690I A ULTRA LITE D4, 32gb ddr4 ram, 2 1tb nvmes (1 for cache, 1 for appdata), 2 18tb hdds, and an i5-12400.

Not actually sure my motherboard can even use them without additional adapters tbh. Thanks for any advice!

People with acne prone skin, what moisturizer do you use?

My face (and body) are so dry from all the stuff i use to treat my folliculitis and i kid you not, EVERY moisturizer I’ve used gives me cystic pimples, sometimes the next day. It’s extremely frustrating.

Because i can’t use any moisturizer, my skin is dry, peely, bumpy, red, and my barrier is constantly destroyed which gives me pimples too lol.

I’ve checked the ingredients on an ingredient checker and google gemini and literally every moisturizer seems to have acne causing ingredients even if they’re labeled as non-comedogenic.

What do I use? Thank you!

it’s a heart! also i think im getting kinda close to making a rlly open crumb but not quite there yet.

i cannot for the LIFE of me get an ear anymore no matter how i score, it’s infuriating! interesting to note that where the dough expanded (where i scored), the crumb is tighter. this one is a bit lower in hydration than my last one.

300g bread flour

225g water (warm)

60g starter (20g water:40g flour)  

7g salt

mixed the stuff, 4 min slap and fold, 7hr bulk, did 4 coil folds during bulk, shaped, banneton, fridge 3ish hours, baked 475f 20m covered 450f 20m uncovered.

[routine help] Tons of tiny lil whiteheads in between eyebrows and on nose since starting tret? Not rlly visible unless using a magnifying mirror. Warning: close ups.

I use ordinary sa serum and good molecules niacinamide rotated every other day and put yadah cactus gel on top (only thing that doesn’t cause me breakouts so far). Skin is obv a bit dry since anything super moisturizing gives me cystic pimples. Started using tret 3 days ago

I figured it was just residue from one of those products. In the shower i used lrp gentle cleanser (i don’t normally use any cleanser) to see if it would get rid of it. But it didn’t. So i rubbed my finger on it and it kinda clumped up and sloughed off. Then i figured maybe i needed to cleanse again so i did and it’s still there.

Its only in between my eyebrows, on parts of my nose, kinda underneath my eyebrows and like on parts of my cheeks near my nose.

[routine help] Noticed a ton (like uniformly covered) microscopic “white heads” in between my eyebrows and on my nose. Is it just peeling skin from tret that isn’t being removed bc i don’t rub my face with anything?

I’m so confused lol. Noticed it 2-3 days ago, started tret gel 3 days ago. It’s almost like a coating of super duper small whiteheads. I use ordinary sa serum and good molecules niacinamide rotated every other day and put yadah cactus gel on top (only thing that doesn’t cause my breakouts so far).

I figured it was just residue from one of those products. In the shower i used lrp gentle cleanser (i don’t normally use any cleanser) to see if it would get rid of it. But it didn’t. So i rubbed my finger on it and it kinda clumped up and sloughed off. Then i figured maybe i needed to moisturize again so i did and it’s still there.

I’m honestly thinking it might just be dead skin? Or is the cleanser not strong enough to remove the residue from one of those products? Or is it something else? You legit can’t see it without a magnifying mirror and it’s only on my nose and in between my eyebrows (eek, just looked and a bit under my eyebrows and on cheeks). THANK YOU!

I can’t seem to get 15% azelaic acid to work for the skin specifically above my neck. It just makes it red and gives me tiny to medium sized red bumps which i’m pretty sure is mild dermatitis. Can some people just not use AA?

At this point i just don’t use it. I cannot seem to get it work and it makes things worse. Does some skin just not jive with AA?

Why is caffeine making me sweat so much when i workout all the sudden?

I wanna say that for years i’ve had entirely too much caffeine per day so i’ve built up quite the tolerance. In the last year or so, it’s been making me sweat like an animal at the gym. It’s crazy. It took me a while to figure out it was caffeine specifically as it was never an issue before. My bloodwork is all normal, i’m extremely healthy, idk.

Moving from the cream to the gel. Anything I should know?

Cream made my folliculitis worse because now most types of moisturizers (esp heavy ones) do. So i’m trying the gel. Is it about the same thing or just more drying? Thanks!
