I’m actually in need of a solid dermatologist myself—specifically for some skin tags. So far, I've heard nothing but good things about the Dental Clinic near Pod zid, and there's also one specialist (Dr. Gregorić-Mateša) who comes highly recommended, though you have to wait an absolute eternity to get an appointment with her.
Is there anyone out there who is considered the absolute gold standard for skin tags? Like, the top-tier dermatologist everyone points to? I'm looking for someone with that kind of reputation. Also, moderators, if you could merge these threads, that would be great—I found a few more similar ones using the search tool.
I’ve definitely noticed this happening to me whenever life gets particularly overwhelming—it’s like my body just hits a breaking point. And honestly, I’ve heard the same thing regarding Vitamin B deficiencies before. If this is really getting to you and won't let up, you should probably go see a doctor. Otherwise, I suspect it might just resolve itself once you finally manage to shake off all that excessive stress you're dealing with.

He started around 1:00 AM🙄—Eddy just wouldn't quit, I guess. He clearly decided to mess with Questlove’s crowd just to show off what he can do😁—it was alright at first, but then the energy just dipped and it got pretty mediocre. Maybe it’s just me being cranky, though—the tent was suffocatingly hot, it was pouring rain outside, and it was absolutely packed in there. Honestly, I couldn't wait to get out of there, which is exactly what I did the second the rain let up.

Carpenter would have turned this into a legitimate horror masterpiece... and honestly, even if the movie is total garbage, you still get that cast of actresses...😁
A great movie is defined by its quality, not just how much it turns you on.😁 (I suspect you're only picking a genre as an excuse 😛 )
Tyler Vaughn51 said:Man, they’re going to tear themselves apart sooner or later... Supposedly that first hellish month of wearing them means your foot skin gets thicker and tougher... is that actually true???? p.s. I'll wear just about anything, but Lacoste shoes are definitely NOT for my feet!
That’s just not how it works—you aren't going to see that happen in two weeks. And even if it does—just head straight to a pedicurist, or honestly, just scrub your heels yourself after a bath and slather on some foot cream.🙂
Tyler Vaughn51 said:meh Guliver, I've heard that one before... Why not just buy some sneakers you actually like that won't fall apart in a week (like Vans or Dr. Martens), grab a size up, and just stuff some cotton or something in the toe to make them fit???
Go ahead and try if you’re really that desperate😁 but you'll quickly realize it doesn't work.
As for those sneakers—especially the ones you mentioned—they are going to stretch out and mold to your foot shape eventually, so there is honestly zero point in torturing your feet by wearing shoes that are way too big. Besides, if you're planning on cramming cotton in there just to make them feel "right," don't you think that cotton is just going to rub against your toes and cause more pain? It's common sense, really.
Trust me, I have seven or eight pairs of Vans in my closet.😉
Tyler Vaughn51 said:Yeah, maybe war will break out or whatever, but I’ve still got plenty of time before I even think about shopping. Right now, my main priority is making sure I don't deal with another ingrown nail. I just want perfectly normal toenails, okay?
Look, if that’s happening, it means the shoes are genuinely too small—not that you need to size up. You need to find your actual size, the one that fits comfortably without causing pain (aside from that occasional heel blister when you first break them in 😬). If a pair is either way too big or way too small—like a 6 is tiny but a 7 is huge—don't bother buying them; they aren't meant for you. Just look for a different brand or style. There is absolutely no point in just grabbing a larger size 🙂

1] These Skechers I just picked up are giving me trouble. The larger size fit perfectly, but these ones are rubbing me raw. I’m not really used to low-cut shoes—the kind that sit below the ankle—so I can't tell if they just need to be broken in or if I should just cut my losses and ditch them.
2] These flats (if you can even call them flats) aren't really my usual style either, and now they're hurting my feet for some mystery reason. I wanted to ask the women who actually wear these kinds of shoes: is it normal for them to hurt at first, and how do you deal with it? 😁 For those of you into flats—doesn't your foot just slide around inside since they aren't really "secured" to your foot at all? And do you wear socks with them (like those super low-cut liner socks)?
Anyway, sorry for the silly questions.
I'm honestly worried both of these pairs are going to end up on Poshmark soon.
Every new pair of shoes I get usually gives me a bit of trouble until they finally mold to my feet. As for flats, mine pinched a little at the start, but they stretched out pretty quickly. I don't wear socks with them because they're so shallow that any sock would show, and honestly, I find them comfortable enough to wear barefoot—that's the only way I wear them.🙂

that’s pretty much it 🥳
Well, you could pretty much boil all that down to—they look good on you. 😁
Fine, maybe excluding the first and last points-- 😳 though even then, I'd probably overlook a little discomfort if the fit was truly perfect. 😬
I’m familiar with the Dr. Scholl's line—they have both foot sprays and shoe sprays. You can just spritz them on, and even if you aren't sure if they actually "cure" anything, they definitely do a decent job of masking those unpleasant odors.
I once had this one specific pair of shoes that was a total nightmare—just one single pair, mind you. Every single time I pulled them on, it was the exact same disaster. Usually, I don't deal with this at all, but those shoes were just beyond help. Honestly, there wasn't any other way out besides just giving up and stopping wearing them altogether.😢 😬
