Clitoris on steroids pictures

This is basically my last hope in finding a diagnosis.
I’m a healthy 21 year old male. And have had a full body itch for nearly 6 months.
Age: 21 Gender: Male Ethnicity: British Location: West London Prior
Areas affected, listed from most affected to least:
1) Upper legs (pictured) 2) Front torso 3) Chest 4) Upper arms 5) Lower legs 6) Lower arms 7) Hands and feet 8) Back (very rare) 9) Anything from my neck upwards experiences no itch
Observations:
1) No dry skin 2) No signs of infection (blister, puss, spots) 3) Hair follicles seems irritated 4) About 5 red lumps with no opening (0.5cm diameter) 5) Some small white lumps with no opening, almost like a stinging nettle rash
Sensation: Ranges from a light itch like a feather, almost like my body hairs are being stroked, to sometimes a very aggressive stinging itch.
Things that make it worse:
1) Heat 2) Sweat 3) Wearing clothes
Things that help (but don’t eradicate):
1) Moisturiser 2) Showering 3) Steroids (prednisolone)
Events to be noted that might be credited:
1) I moved to a new location 6 months prior to itching beginning 2) I began using topical minoxidil on my head 4 months prior to itching 3) I have supplemented with protein powder and creatine for 3/4 years
Further comments:
1) My diet is varied, ie good balance of protein, carbs and fat (have not changed diet in 6+ years) 2) I consume fruit and veg daily and supplement zinc, magnesium and multivitamin 3) I do drink alcohol and smoke electronic vapes (weekend only) 4) I exercise daily 5)I am not stressed or suffer from anxiety/ any other mental disorder 6) I wash clothes regularly and shower twice daily
I have been prescribed scabies treatment 3 times and followed procedures but to no avail.
I have attached a picture of my thigh.
I am in ongoing assessment by doctors but they keep giving me basic answers and don’t seem to want to help me.
Would appreciate any tips or ideas to research as nothing I find online seems to agree to my situation.
Thank you!

Hi y'all. I'm pretty much at my wits end.
I have a dermatologist appointment today but thought I'd ask around here anyway.
Backstory: I had eczema when I was really really young, honestly so young that the only thing I remembered of it was having a patch of it on my butt and my mom applying cream to it and then never really dealing with it ever again. She thought I had eczema on my face though it appeared as white patches and I vaguely remember this but for at least a decade or more I did not have eczema. My skin was perfect, genuinely so clear I didn't have to use much product on it.
Fast forward to November of 2019; I started taking hormonal birth control and noticed within a few months that I started getting eczema patches (also was having facial rashes but I thought this was due to trying out a new skincare) I went to the dermatologist who prescribed me Triamcinolone 0.1% ointment for my body rashes. I don't ever EVER remember using steroids much. I'd use it one to two days, and would stop when it starts to fade. Anyway my eczema was pretty lowkey in general and in 2021, we adopted a cat. I did notice my eczema worsening slightly ever since getting my cat but was managing with Triamcinolone (I think at this point my dermatologist prescribed me a tub of it I think December of 2021)
Again, I don't use steroid much and when I do I think it's really just for emergencies (my eczema was genuinely such a secondary aspect of my life I don't even remember much of how I managed it other than letting it ride and maybe applying steroid when needed). I remember the tub expired and I hadn't used even half of the ointment. I was also prescribed Mometasone and Fluoccionide? But I never used either of them as I didn't feel comfortable to.
In September of 2022, I caught COVID while overseas and it caused a pretty gnarly flare on the inner side of my elbows. Since I was overseas I just managed with moisturizing but I remember applying steroid when I came home. We adopted a second cat later this year.
Since then I think my eczema HAVE gotten worse, but there was a period of at least 6 months where I wasn't using steroid creams at all because I was either just dealing with it or it was barely there.
Fast forward to 2023.
I noticed a rash on the top of my right hand that I was initially managing with just moisturizing. But I remember having such intense itch on this rash that I kept itching, and at one point I itched with my shirt and it caused it to be infected. It was so gnarly, bright red, oozing, literally would not stop oozing, painful. I went back to my dermatologist 5 days later when I realized that oh this might be worse than just a regular eczema. She gave me Mupirocin and another tube of Triamcinolone (since my previous one expired) as well as a course of Doxycycline. I used the Mupirocin as directed for I think 10 days, and was not yet using Triamcinolone as I was worried about using it when it looked like there were still open wounds on it. I didn't finish my Doxy course because it was giving me horrible stomach pains. I came back to the dermatologist January 3rd and she told me it was OK to use Triamcinolone twice daily up to two weeks.
At this point I was already having eczema rash on my arms as well and some on my back but I don't think I was using Triamcinolone much on them (I'm pretty sporadic with using the steroid, I never really committed to the full 2 weeks)
Now, this is where things became a doozy.
January 5th: Caught strep, had difficulty breathing and had to go to urgent care. I was prescribed antibiotics, Prednisone (20mg, twice daily for 5 days), and Albuterol. I had asthma when I was younger and it's almost like it came back when I caught strep. My eczema was calm during this time and I thought it was because it rained a lot this week but now I realized it may be the Prednisone. Could not remember if I was using Triamcinolone as well on my hand during this time.
Sometime in early February: Went for a run and literally rolled my ankle so bad. Unrelated to everything else but my body sustained injury and looking back at old pictures I was starting to get patches of eczema on my legs.
Then I caught what felt like the flu in mid February and this is the first time my eczema flared to my face. My left eye was half swollen but at this time I thought it was from my sinus being blocked as it went away in a few days (though the rash stayed).
Early March: Got admitted to the hospital from Appendicitis. I spent 3 nights at the hospital and my eczema was literally non existent. No itchiness, just intense dryness but nothing else. I remember my friend noting my face was super dry but my rashes were slowly drying out. To be fair I was in so much pain the first day I was knocked out most the time from the pain medication they gave me and I was on a couple antibiotics due to the infection.
I came home from the hospital and this is when things start to really get insane. I got home, laid in bed, and immediately could not stop itching my neck and body. My face became swollen the next day but I was unable to take allergy meds because I was on antibiotics and had to wait for that course to be done. That eventually settled out.
I figured maybe I was having an allergic reaction to the cats (and thought maybe my mattress too, we had vacuumed it a few times and I suspected it disturbed the dust mites inside). I slept outside and on an air mattress for I think a few days, if not up to a week. The cats were still sleeping with me at this time and I was somewhat itchy but it wasn't the worst. Then I decided I was going to sleep in the bedroom again and this caused the worst flare I had ever ever EVER gone through. My face became so swollen, my left eye swollen again and it was oozing (this had NEVER happened to me before other than my infected hand) I don't know why this oozed since I never scratched my face, and my inner elbows, wrists and top of right hand got so red and puffy. At this point too my eczema on my right hand was starting to spread towards my palm. These areas also got pretty dry especially on my face. I called Teladoc Dermatology and they prescribed me Mupirocin for the oozing, Tacrolimus for the inflammation on my face and Triamcinolone for the body. He told me to apply Mupirocin first until the oozing calms, then stop and apply the other ointments.
At this point I had become SO SO SO terrified of TSW. It was all over my Tik Tok, my algorithm, I couldn't stop thinking and worrying about it and fearing that this flare is because I'm going through it. He told me to use Triamcinolone for twice daily for two weeks, then once daily for two weeks, then every other day for two weeks to help prevent rebound. I only used Triamcinolone twice daily for 5 days, then I did once daily for a few more days and by the time I saw my current dermatologist, I was using it every other day (I essentially tried to taper within the two weeks).
My current derma prescribed me Clobetasol and told me to mix 2oz of Clobetasol with 7.5oz of Vanicream or Cerave and smear myself in it once a day at night for one week, then once a day at night every other day for the second week. It was a very controlled instruction.
BUT I was SO afraid of TSW that I did not do this.
Instead, I took a one week break and I did 3 weeks of Triamcinolone, and even then I did it sporadically. I did about 10 days of once daily and then the second half I did twice daily. When I started doing twice daily was when I finally saw some improvements.
The problem is it has been a week since I last used any steroids and I have rebounded. Although my eczema rash genuinely looks so weird and I am having the dermatologist look at it properly today. My arms are constantly dry, my right hand (the problem spot since December) now have what looks like blisters on them and I never have eczema that look like this even though it's apparently common. The frustrating thing is that it feels like my eczema just keeps spreading. They are full body and it's freaking me out because it looks as if I have TSW even though I don't think I ever used steroids for that long at all, and I was only prescribed it back in 2020.
To be fair I thought I should've committed to the Clobetasol treatment because then we can see if the strongest steroid worked or not but I felt like I was going to flare again anyway and didn't want to use something really strong only for it to not work.
I had an allergy test done and I am allergic to both species of dust mites, dogs, cats, along with some other environmental things. I just don't understand why I am only now flaring uncontrollably like this. I am 95% covered in eczema. Either spots or just straight up long red rash. I am taking antihistamines daily and have been taking Probiotic pills pretty consistently (partly because I was on so many antibiotics back to back). I've been using Hyphocolorus Acid Spray as well.
On Sunday night, I tried to sleep over at my friend's place who did not have cats to test and see if my cats are my main trigger and I kept waking up itching myself, both my arms and legs and my chin and neck started oozing again. Which was INSANE as I did not itch either of them. The oozing on both have mostly stopped (I've only used Mupirocin and Vaseline to help control the infection and moisturize) but I just don't understand.
I'm scared, I have never had eczema become so severe so fast and I'm genuinely so scared. Something feels wrong but I don't know what it is. The way my eczema looks look like a combination of an allergic reaction and just a rash but I don't understand how I can have such an intense allergic reaction towards things I've been around all the time. We've lived in the same place since June of last year and the only thing I can think of is that we had the heater on almost daily in the winter and we found out end of April that our heater is incredibly dusty.
I'm getting my IUD removed next week as well as I'm confident birth control has something to do with my eczema coming back, and I plan to get allergy shots.
I'm just tired, it's consumed my life and it's causing me a lot of health anxiety. I look so genuinely terrible I can't even understand it.

Hello all! I found a tick on my daughter’s head a week ago. We are not sure how long it was there as she bathed the evening before and we didn’t notice it. Two days later, she came home with an itchy spot on her chest. It progressively got itchier and bigger so I took her to urgent care and they gave her amoxicillin and a steroid. The bite wasn’t on her chest, at least I don’t think she got bit there. Then again, I have no idea where she picked it up to begin with. Do you all think it’s lyme disease? Also should mention that she also had a low grade fever of 100.4 over the weekend after the rash showed up. Should I follow up with testing after she finishes her antibiotics? Pictures of the progression of the redness and the stupid tick I pulled off her head.

I had my hair transplant yesterday and wanted to share with you guys how it went since I saw very few detailed refuse I had my hair transplant yesterday and wanted to share with you guys how it went since I saw very few detailed reviews in the past. I contacted them initially through WhatsApp after I saw an ad on Instagram. The consultation process was fairly simple. They asked me to take a few pictures and they were able to give me out of estimate of the work that needs to be done. They also gave me the cost estimate and I opted to take the package that included the hotel reservation so I don’t have to worry about that. They asked me to send my flight booking for a confirmation but they did not ask for any down payment. I arrived to Cancun Sunday and they were very organized. They sent me a text message prior to my landing with the car picture and where the pick up location is supposed to be. I got to the hotel which wasn’t bad and had some restaurants urants downstairs. They texted me and asked me to relax for the day and that I will be picked up on Monday 7:30 AM. I went to the clinic on Monday morning. They performed an in-person consultation when we discussed the options and I opted to take the PRP and mesthotherapy based on the experience of few friends who did transplant in the past. Dr.Enes (who is Turkish like the entire staff) shaved my head and started drawing the hairline. I made a few minor adjustments to make it more even and once we agreed on the finalized drawing, we proceeded with the procedure. I would not lie, the anesthesia was so painful. The good news is it lasts for a few seconds only and its managable. The doctor himself did the harvesting, then I got a small break to go to the bathroom and they brought me back to numb the front which was even more painful than the back but again lasts for few minutes. When the implants started, they hooked me up and IV with painkillers and antibiotics. It was so comfortable that I think I slept for a few minutes during that part of the procedure. The whole process was done by the doctor himself. They provided lunch, but it’s cold, soggy, and tasteless so cur The whole process was done by the doctor himself. They provided lunch, but it’s cold, soggy, and tasteless so I would recommend getting your own lunch. I thought the process was easy and everything was done by the doctor and the final result looked great. I met another guy who flew from Texas and had similar experience. They will give medication bad with antibiotics, painkillers and some minor steroids. I would recommend them and I think its a bargain compared to what they charge us in the US.

Hello.
28M here. I've been having this rash over my face for the past 3-4 years and seemed to not be going away.
A little bit about myself. I always had a "bad oily skin" Suffered with acne most of my life and was put on Accutane many times since I was a 14 and every time the acne comes back few weeks after finishing my Accutane course. I started experimenting with topical tretinoin agents. Initially it couldn’t control my acne, so my dermatologist recommend that I go up with concertation and application frequency. I went up from 0.025 to 0.05 to 0.1 to 0.1.5 to finally 0.2% and I was using it twice daily. My face was perpetually red and flaky but on the other hand I was okay with that trade off as long as I don't have aay more acne. I continue that regimen religiously with me applying moisturizing cream 2-3 times a day. It was embarrassing as I was going to school/work with a thick layer of products (Tretinoin and moisturizer) on my face for the past 3-4 years. Despite all that I was happy with the trade of not having acne.
This brings us to the rash. I'm not sure when it started exactly. But I think it started when I started using the topical Tretinoin. The rash is strange as it does not involve the entirety of my face and only confined on my cheeks and along my jaw (You can see picture). I didn't think it was caused by any of the products I'm using as it is not diffusely involving my entire face and that's where I apply the products. The rash also can be itchy (Not that bad) and make the underlying skin quite friable where it can bleed easily if happen to scratch it (I almost never scratch it). Also, the hair there have changed where I started to have big thick hairs and what appears to be multiple hair strands from the same hair follicle. I tried to look it up and it seem to be something called "Pili multigemini". The last thing about my rash is that it is at it worse in the morning and the redness improves as the day goes by.
I went to multiple dermatologists and non of them seemed to care about the rash or even take a look at it. I don't blame them. They probably see hundreds of patients with similar presentation. So, I'm just someone with "rash"
I just want to emphasis this is causing me a lot of insecurities and I cant grow a beard because of it as growing a beard makes it worse.
With that being said. Now, moving to what I have done so far to try and treat it.

1. Reducing my Tretinoin frequency: I started to apply my 0.2% Tretinoin less frequently and gradually went from applying it twice daily to now only once daily. However, I substitute my morning dose with Differin face wash. I'm not sure if there is any significant improvement since I cut down when it comes to reddness, but my face is less flaky. But I'm happy I did. Not sure if I should cut the cleanser next or cut the night dose next. But I'll try to reduce the dose to as low as possible without having acne and will adjust things accordingly. I'm currently using 0.2 Tretinoin every night.
   
2. Moisturizing: I'm moisturizing religiously, I never skip a day without moisturizing I experimented with something as heavy as CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. But I stopped using it since I reduced my Tretinoin applying frequency from twice a day to once daily. I'm currently using ISIS Pharma Teen Derm Hydra Compensating Soothing Moisturizer in the mornings as it is feels lighter and Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion at night. Changing the moisturizer did not affect the redness of the rash as I thought maybe "I am allergic to the moisturizer."
   
3. Ketoconazole cream: I remember trying this on when my rash just started. A dermatologist diagnosed me with Seborrheic dermatitis. If anything I felt it made my skin worse. It caused it to be more flaky. I also use Ketoconazole shampoo for my dandruff. I use it twice a week. If Ketoconazole works on my rash I would have noticed it by now. I'm thinking of starting it again and try given I'm no longer flaky as I once was.
   
4. Steroid cream: I was prescribed a potent one. I think it helped a little but that is not something sustainable to use or add to my skin routine.
   
5. Clindamycin solution: I use this not for my rash per say but for my hair follicle problem. My Pili multigemini is much better when I apply clindamycin regularly. I don’t have to spend time in the mirror with tweezers getting all those chunky hairs out. However, I still find some affected hair follicles when I trim.
   
6. Trimming facial hair: Trimming facial hair seem to improve my symptoms. I make sure to trim every day or every other day with an electric trimmer.
   
7. Hot water: I notice my rash is at it worse in the morning and that is when I shower. I tend to shower with hot water. I started to make sure my face is not exposed to hot water and wash it separately with cold water.
   

I’m posting this here as I’m desperate. I feel like no dermatologist will be patient enough to hear my story. I’m open for suggestions, recommendations and for people to share their similar experiences.
Here is a picture of the rash.

2 years plus I'm a 56-year-old male ex football player steroid abuse with a weekend immune system. After traumatic event watching my mother go through an ordeal in 5 minutes I started deteriorate shaking and then having some type of fungus bacterial creatures coming in and out of my body especially my nostrils and ears and now intestines and skull. I have taken for prizoquel 800 mg 42 pills 14 days that doctor was concerned and sent me to the disease specialist. She dismissed me within 30 seconds. I'm now pulling some type of white cocoon that is got needles on him out of my skull. Anybody have a doctor anywhere in this world I can get on a plane I wouldn't sit by me. I have enough videos and pictures that should convince anyone I can blow him out of my nose that command. But once in my nose have cut off one sinus area in the bone is black in the middle. God help anyone I'm tough as nails but I ain't that damn tough. Because my mother got abused by wealth advisor and my brother is also in on it I can't really leave the house they're trying to put her in the dirt which is absolutely heartbreaking to my mother myself and my late dad. God bless I don't know how to post pictures of somebody could explain to me, you need to pay me not to post them or you pay me to post them I could care less embarrassed not a bit I feel for anyone that has a medical issue. I was cool for a long time now I'm stumbling blurred vision oxygen in my country club my neighbor ex nurse said you're an 81 for 20 minutes. I said I walk around like that all the time ma'am she said now I understand you. I don't know if you can go out your number I got a couple nickels I'll pay somebody well if they can leave me to the water that cures. Good luck God bless May God have mercy on this United States and the rest of the world.

I was diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia in November. I spent 4 months almost unable to walk at all. I’m doing a lot better now, but it’s hard for me to walk farther distances or stay on my feet long.
I’m getting immunosuppressant infusions and stuff, so I’m doing all the things I can be medically I think.
I’ve been flaring up so badly the last week. I’ve been doing a little steroid pulse, and I have pain meds but I don’t like to take them when I want to be present with what I’m doing. I wen’t on a short trip to the mall and I am in so much pain now.
I’ve been all against getting a cane because I feel like it won’t help, or it’ll bring unwanted attention. I’m headed into clinicals at nursing school and I’m afraid people will think I can never be a real nurse.
I’m at the point where I’m just over it. I don’t want to be hobbling and struggling at unpredictable times because my body decides to be stupid that day. There is no day I am painless, but I really would like to be able to enjoy myself out of the house without so much repercussion.
I’m about to get married and go on my honeymoon (3 weeks away), and I’m just picturing myself struggling to get around and see our travel spot, and then laying in agony all night from walking too far. Or, being fuzzy on pain meds the whole time.
I can just buy a cane and fit it using an online guide, but is that okay? Do I need be measured by a doctor? I don’t want to do more damage to my body by doing it wrong.

i’m a diehard hip hop fan, more specifically Kendrick, so most of this stuff I know by heart so why not make a post pointing out EVERY SINGLE wrong thing i can catch Pyro say. Im mostly making this since it pisses me off when people who have zero clue about something come in and try to sound confident as hell about it while getting countless things wrong. I will try to link proper sources for everything he got wrong as well. Enjoy! By the way when I say Dot it is Kendrick I’m talking about. And I will also put the time stamps of what i’m talking about
Also if i got something wrong please correct me so I can edit it. Most everything here should be correct however
First off and it isn’t Pyro, it’s Critikal, but talking about how youtubers in 2016 ruined diss tracks and Dot vs Drake is the first beef since then to make real diss tracks is so funny because Pusha T vs Drake happened in 2018 I believe so just goes to show how in touch they are
Okay once again something petty , it’s small but it kinda shows how much research was done from the get go, because Kendrick’s real name isn’t Kendrick Lamar, It is Kendrick Duckworth, Lamar is just his middle name. So it kinda shows the research level when you can’t get the dudes name right when you’re supposed to be saying the full name of both dudes.

Claim - Drake came from nothing thus Drake flexes money
Okay so this is the first major one I think. Drake did not come from nothing, he grew up in rich neighborhoods, more specifically Forest Hill in Toronto. Not to mention his father’s side of the family had many successful musicians. He grew up rich. This is why people dislike Drake as he tends to go on his records rapping about the hard hoods and shit like this when he grew up infinitely more wealthy than most other rappers.
5:05
Claim - Kendrick does not like Drake as he flexes too much
Not even close. The actual origin of their beef is said to come from Kendrick’s legendary verse on Control. It is said that after Kendrick made his verse Drake felt very disrespected and thus attempted to blacklist kendrick from various radio stations which didn’t work. Kendrick felt that Drake took the verse too personally when Kendrick was just being competitive(it is vital to note that every other artist Kendrick mentioned ignore it or praised him for it). And eventually the animosity just kept ramping up as many people began to perceive drake as a culture vulture due to the fact he’d rap about stuff such as hard life in the streets or gangs despite never growing up around that only because it was trendy at that time. Which funnily enough is what pyro is doing right now, he’s culture vulturing off the beef since it’ll give him money but doesn’t really care
6:00-8:00
I don’t see why bring up Pusha T vs Drake as this isn’t that relevant to the Dot beef. Not to mention he just skips over 90% of things said in the beef. But yea it’s not Adoeniss lmao.
8:15
Okay so that wasn’t a diss track. That’s a sneak diss, something very big to distinguish as in the hip hop community sneak disses are seen as a pussies way to start beef while trying not to. this is especially relevant to drake as one of the biggest criticism of drake is how often he sneak disses rappers. to the point dot himself mentioned it in one of the diss tracks. Also tory le ness. also again i don’t see why bring this up as it is not relevant to the Dot beef. It wasn’t even a beef in the first place megan never fired back nor did drake even say her name. just feels like padding runtime
9:15- 9:30
Why is bigfoot being brought up at all it is not relevant, i’ve said it like three time but it really isn’t you can skip over all this and not have missed a single thing
10:05
Claim - Megan’s law line is about drake
It isn’t, this is the line that kickstarted the nicki beef. Nicki’s husband and i think brother are both sex offenders, Megan’s line about Megan’s law references a law in america where it is required for the police to make a sex offenders information public. Maybe it can be about drake but it almost unanimously agreed it’s about nicki. Okay so i listened to everything he said, basically the same I said. So yea it’s probably not about drake only reason people think it is is because kendrick called him a predator
14:03
Metros booming track? For all the scary dogs? what? Everything else he said seems accurate however. He didn’t mention the prince and jackson line though which was specifically at drake
16:30
No, GKMC was the classic he was talking about. The actual line would be the classic is GKMC, the overhyped is TPAB and the prime was DAMN. This is the only one that makes sense as not many people see section 80 as a classic whereas GKMC is seen as the first of the four run classics by Kendrick. Also good kid and Maad City
21:14
They weren’t directly involved but essentially Drake was saying that all the dudes I collab with clear you because of me. And that you’re not even the biggest in your own label, cus I think him and SZA were both top dawg. Pyro also doesn’t mention the push up and give me 50 line despite being the fucking chorus
21:48
That’s not it? At all? What Rick ross was trying to say is that Drake is so insecure about his own music that he had to “leak” the song in order to see if the public liked it enough for him to officially release it
22:20
That’s not what he claimed at all either. The nose job thing is not about not giving credit to his mentors, it’s about how Drake is seen as confused about his race and how he never felt black enough and that he isn’t black enough. Pusha and Dot tackled the same thing head on. Hell Dot literally ended Euphoria by saying Drake shouldn’t say the n word no more. It’s nothing abt giving credit rather adding on to the fake narrative that’s chased Drake his whole career
23:35
Thats part but not the only reason. He used the voice of the most iconic west side rapper ever to diss and make fun of tue current best west side rapper. This is why that became so controversial among the hip hop community, which he doesn’t mention. Because it’s corny to use the voice of a dead man to diss a dude who’s seen as the protege of Tupac and the current rep of the west coast.
25:48
It’s small but hearing Pyro act like DMX is just “some random rapper that passed away that said the same thing” is so annoying. Like bro isn’t a legendary rapper himself. It’s the equivalent of saying “oh yea and this interview of this one boxer, Mike Tyson idk if yk him, said the same shit”
26:13
No he isn’t saying that because Drake isn’t an activist he’s saying that because of the fact that Drake grew up super wealthy, but likes to act and pretend like he had a hard up bringing. The black enough just comes form the way Drake is perceived as a culture vulture who likes to pretend to live a life he didn’t.
29:33
Most people don’t care about writers. Kanye is a legendary rapper and he was well known for having writers in his track. The problem comes from when you attempt to portray yourself as an incredible writer when in reality you have 20 dudes doing it and you ignore that part. What makes it funnier is that Kendrick actually mentioned this in Euphoria I believe with the “It’s 1v20 with all the writers”. Essentially it’s the same as an athlete taking steroids but pushing himself as clean. Just makes you feel fake, which again is the main narrative around drake
31:00
Thing is that it wasn’t just his son, he literally addresses each family member, including his father. Also the predator line is referencing his father, and also Baka who’s an actual sex offender, so idk why mention that but not mention who it is he’s talking abt
Okay, so I think that’s it. Pyro weirdly left out vital parts of the beef such as how Drake was constantly alluding to Dots wife cheating with the bodyguard. Or other stuff like that. Or just not explaining certain bars and what they mean when it’s like 20 seconds at most. Or why some backlash occurred or like leaving certain things that can paint a picture of why Drake lost which is what he’s attempting to do. Such as him leaving out the fact that the Tupac part got backlash because of the west coast connection. Or how Drake isn’t critiqued for flexing but rather pretending to live a life he never did just because it’s trendy
In other words it just sounds like a white dude who’s never even listened to one song by either artist trying to make money off of it. Stick to Sunnyv2 and inflated furry porn pyro.

A typical debate between a libertarian and a Marxist would go around the labor theory of value, exploitation of labor, surplus value, thought experiment of the property monster on an island, monopolies, the economic calculation problem, and so on. You have probably watched dozens of such debates, read thousands of comment threads, etc. However, all of this, although technically correct, is missing the big picture. Namely, that all of these arguments are simply an artificial facade behind which Marxists hide their real motivations.
I will explain the Marxist trap and how you can escape it with a much clearer argument against their gaslighting.
Now, imagine for the sake of an abstract thought experiment if an average person, who has never been interested in politics, starts watching one of those debates (where the libertarian takes the Marxist arguments at face value). What would he or she see? They would actually perceive the Marxist as a reasonable person and you as someone who is gaslighting the public (unlike what you might expect). Why? In real life, many (if not most) people have had bad experiences with their employers, many people silently hate their managers, they struggle to pay their bills, they live from salary to salary, and they have never interacted with the market themselves (i.e., they have never been an entrepreneur or investor). Marxists often mock libertarians by saying - yeah sure, you could just become a millionaire, you just choose to be a struggling employee. It does resonate with the general public.
However, there is a much sharper argument against Marxism. Namely, they gaslight people about the exploitation of labor by capitalists and, according them, to free themselves from this exploitation, all workers have to become ...... employees of the ultimate monopolist agency, (i.e., the state), which will have the ultimate and final say in all matters (and have all the guns to enforce its final say). Again, they do not like many employers because, according to their theory, the market will eventually be completely monopolized by capitalists (sometimes in a theoretical future), and hence, ...... let's all be employees of the ultimate monopoly (making a full circle!).
That's not all, they claim that you are theoretically forced to work as an employee under capitalism, hence, ...... let their ultimate employer (i.e., the state) actually force you to work:

Soviet law "On Intensification of the Struggle against Persons who avoid Socially Useful Work and lead an Anti-social Parasitic Way of Life" which criminalized parasitism entered into force. Those who refused to work were critiqued as "able-bodied citizens who refuse to fulfill their important constitutional duty - to perform honest work to the best of their ability".

And even that's not all, they claim that under capitalism, you struggle to find another job so your boss constantly underpays you, and hence, ...... let their ultimate employer (i.e., the state) actually force you to stay (e.g., exit visa, propiska which limited even internal emigration).
So Marxism is so absurd that they go to very great lengths criticizing capitalism ...... only to implement what they, themselves, criticized but on steroids! (making a full circle!)
So the real reason why they came up with all of this lengthy nonsense (e.g. labor theory of value etc) is to conceal the fact that it's ideology of crabs (i.e. crab mentality):

If I can't have it, neither can you.
The analogous theory in human behavior is that members of a group will attempt to reduce the self-confidence of any member who achieves success beyond others, out of envy, jealousy, resentment, spite, conspiracy, or competitive feelings, in order to halt their progress even though there are no benefits associated.

That's it, Marxism never been about any labor theory of value nonsense in the first place.

Hello! First and foremast, I sent an email to my veterinarian last night to get her advice too but I’m just curious about others opinion. I know I stepped into a dangerous realm regarding asking strangers on the internet. 😂
Whoever doesn’t have anxiety is so lucky. I absolutely hate how much it makes me overthink even with reassurance. 😩 my brain won’t shut up!
I just want the best for my kitties. My soul cat passed April 2023 from CHF after receiving a steroid shot and now I’m spiraling on what’s best for my babies; especially diet. I hate how easily persuaded I get because I feel as if I’ve been brainwashed by thinking that if they get a fraction of kibble their life expectancy is going to go downhill drastically and I need to do everything in my power to ensure they get a wet food diet. It doesn’t help because so many people who promote all wet/raw diets have a bone to pick with vets because vets still push kibble despite the patients proclaiming they have the knowledge that states cats shouldn’t eat a sliver of dry food. I think even Jackson Galaxy promotes no kibble too. I was never this way until Peach passed away. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise?
From what I read, Kibble doesn’t have as much moisture content as wet food, and kibble is loaded on carbs when cats are carnivores and don’t require much of them out in the wild. I suppose they get most of their moisture from their kill. The loaded carbs can lead to high blood sugar too and perhaps Urinary issues, etc. (please correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t have the degree, I’m just a gullible girl who thinks the science behind it is right 😆 ) Just the thought of them eating meat cereal for the rest of their days just makes me feel sick to my stomach for them.
I’m trying to get my x5 cats out of kibble and only wet food. During this process two of my babies are being the most finicky. I know they’re not getting all of their calories due to this and I’m petrified they’ll get sick, like hepatic lipidosis sick. My vet mentioned it usually happens when they don’t eat anything at all for a certain amount of time and happens mostly to larger cats (one of them is 12 pounds and is 1 year old so I’m worried for her), but what if they don’t eat all of their recommended calorie intake, can it still happen? Even if I put kibble by their wet food or just a bowl of dry by them they sometimes still want nothing to do with both and maybe eat a few tiny bites then walk away.
Is it truly all that bad to give them kibble? There’s someone on TikTok (I know, don’t trust strangers on the internet, but their information just makes sense to me) who advocates for feline nutrition with works cited information and try’s to promote a healthier lifestyle for cats… but I just can’t afford all of the wet food and making sure their calories are good. (Here is the cited information if you’re curious) https://docs.google.com/document/d/18we2uu061yXPZzXTgom0uU_ZN8WOlqKE2AgOHi1kexM/mobilebasic
It would cost me over $350 a month to ensure all 5 cats got the right food.
So, the questions begs… *If you were in my shoes, how would you calm yourself down with these endless thoughts of wanting to do the best for your cat and thinking kibble is a death sentence? Would you still do the feeding schedule, x4 a day like me? My vet also mentioned sprinkling kibble on top of the food but what other ratios do you recommend to do half kibble half wet food x4 a day? Free feeding isn’t the best, especially if I have to watch their calorie intake like my 12 pound girl who needs to lose weight. If there’s any other advice or words of reassurance I’m all ears. *
If it paints you a picture in your head to see just how crazy this is making me, I compiled my own list to help me determine food ratios and calories intake to see what will work without breaking my bank and so far everything still is super pricy no matter how much I try to play with it. I’m driving myself mad and sick lol. 😂

I want to start off with saying baby is out of the nicu and has been for months but I think now it’s me struggling.
At 31 weeks I had severe placenta abruption. I will never know why it happened. I woke up at 4am thinking I had peed myself, went and sat on the toilet and felt a huge gush. I stood up and realized it was blood and it was everywhere. I mean everywhere. It was coming fast and I didn’t know what to do. I stood in the bathtub screaming for my husband. He got me a towel and pants and we drove to the delivery hospital which thankfully was only 5 minutes away. I was passing huge clots which I thought were me giving birth. It was horrifying. I started having contracts which made me realize I am now in full blown labor. I got a steroid shot and a few other things to try to stop the bleeding but nothing was working. Babies heart rate started dropping and I was rushed into the OR immediately. This was all in a 1 hour span. I don’t remember I lot past that. I have pictures thankfully, but I was just so blank minded at that moment that it’s been erased from my mind.
My son spent 50 days in the NICU which we all know is draining, tiring, and stressful. But it was also rewarding. Seeing my son get bigger and healthier kept me going.
For a long time I just put it into the back of my mind. I had conversations about placenta abruption and I never had flash backs or anything. I felt I was more raising awareness and felt good doing it because before it happened to me, I had no idea it was even a thing.
I am now almost 7 month pp. my son is doing great, finally getting over his reflux and is turning into a really happy boy, but now it’s me that’s having issues. Recently I have been thinking about what happened more and more. It has me sad, angry, and want to cry immediately. Me and my husband have agreed no more kids (Samwise was our first baby) but it’s making me so freaking sad. We’ve always wanted more than one kid and placenta abruption has ruined that chance for us. I now also almost puke when I start my period. I cannot stand it. It honestly makes me sick and instantly makes me feel like I did that night. It wasn’t always like this. Just recently have I started hating my period and bleeding. I can’t even look at it without gagging or wanting to cry. I’m thinking I need therapy now. I don’t know how to go about it being an expat. (I live in the UK but I’m American so I have no one but my husband here) I’ll start looking to that very soon.
Has this happened to anyone that had placenta abruption or very heavy bleeding? Sorry for the long post I just really needed to get this out. I am worried for my mental health. I need to be fully present for my son.

Hello,
I could really use some advice, because I’m not too sure what to do at this point in treatment and feeling a bit hopeless.
Quick backstory, I’m a 23 M about 175 pounds. My acne was never bad, but I suffered from constant whiteheads, inflammed bumps, and the occasional cyst since 15. I truly fit the “recurrent and unresponsive to other treatments” reason for prescribing Accutane. I started in December 2023 and dosage (mg) to date has been 40:60:80:80:80:60. The drop from 80 to 60 is why I’m posting.
The Accutane worked instantly at 40; within a week all my acne disappeared and I didn’t get another pimple until halfway through 60. It was magical. Of course I had dry skin, lips, eyes, but nothing even close to outweighing the benefits or what I had heard from others’ experiences. First month on 80 was when everything changed. I got 3 cysts in a matter of a month, facial skin got extremely dry, rashes on hands and arms, skin started peeling off toes and bleeding (especially when working out), back pain, nose bleeds, beard hairs/follicles bleeding etc — the works. I kept pushing but eventually enough was enough and I reached out to my dermatologist who prescribed me a month of Prednisone. I had never taken a steroid in my life up to that point, but instantly 95% of the side effects subsided and all inflammation from the cysts disappeared.
Fast forward to last month, I ran out of my Prednisone and most side effects came back, and even more intense. But to my surprise, after my first time shaving my beard (I use straight razor, 2 blade, shaving cream, with grain, once weekly) I got the worst razor burn and bumps. I tried OTC Hydrocortisone and Aloe, but it didn’t work. I gave it a week, but no relief. I reached out to my dermatologist who prescribed Triamcinolone Acetate (topical steroid cream). Again, weeks of application and some relief, but still noticeable irritation.
What’s bothering me now, is my beard is so painful. I try to let it grow and not touch it, and it’s almost as if Eczema is occurring underneath and the beard hairs feel like needles; but if I do shave, the “Eczema” subsides but the bumps become more obvious (pictures 24 hours ago).
I feel like a shell of myself. My acne is flawless. I haven’t had a pimple in months and it’s obvious the medicine has done a fantastic job.. but possibly too well.
Any advice? I plan to reach out to my dermatologist tomorrow. I want to quit the Accutane early, but I’m scared of relapsing. I’m tracked for 9 months and have almost completed 6. The decrease to 60 was my request, and I don’t know when/if I’ll see a difference in the side effects. I can handle almost all the side effects throw my way so far, but the beard crossed the line.

ok, so recently I had unprotected sex with someone for the first time in like 6 months and 2 days after I kind of started noticing some weird things I'd never had before.
First, I began feeling this sharp pain in this very specific spot (below the clit w/In the labia). I had thought I was just experiencing clitoris pain bc he had kind of rubbed it hard... but yesterday I found the source. Pretty hidden, but I noticed like a white sore, kind of like a blister and very very painful to the touch. I also noticed one other bump on my labia, this one not painful and not open, but still there where there hadn't been one before.
I've had pimples on and around my vulva before but this didn't really seem like that. It's a very specific pain, like touching a raw, opened blister. I'm kind of freaking out thinking it could be genital herpes, but every picture I've looked up or seen hasn't really closely resembled what I have. But idk.
It's only those two spots that have appeared, and it's been about 5 days now, so I don't think any more will appear. They're also not clustered together or anything.
I am going to get it checked out, but I guess I'm asking: does a sore automatically equal herpes or could it be something else?
