Share to save a dandruff-haver's sanity

i am making this post because all my life i have been told my dandruff was my fault for not washing my hair correctly and shamed for having "poor hygiene" as a result - this is probably where the bfrbs started tbh.

SO. There are two main types of dandruff!

Dry scalp flakes: these are white and itty bitty! you can probably solve this with a good hair and skincare routine. HOWEVER unless they are bothering you it is absolutely not necessary for any kind of health reason (afaik! disclaimer! i am not a doctor! this is not actionable medical advice nor should you take me anywhere near as seriously as a dermatologist). IS NOT CAUSED BY POOR HYGIENE.

Fungal dandruff: Bigger, yellowish, possibly oily/greasy flakes! Caused by your genetics going Oops All Yeast! Generally requires a prescription antifungal treatment from a dermatologist! ALSO NOT CAUSED BY POOR HYGIENE.

Either way, if you have dandruff, a dermatologist is the one you want to consult if it's bothering you! and frankly, even if it was a hygiene issue, nobody deserves to be shamed for that!!!!! especially considering that there are plenty of people who struggle to shower regularly due to circumstances beyond their control!

AND FOR CHRIST'S SAKE STOP SHAMING PEOPLE WITH DANDRUFF!!!!

#dandruff #byrd chirps #byrd's business #i am Big Mad about this #because ALL of my parents blamed me for my dandruff #and no matter what they tried it wouldn't go away #but they never thought to take me to a dermatologist for this SKIN issue #just assumed that we were doing something wrong #and i got called gross for having dandruff #and tbf it is kinda gross! but you don't call a literal child gross and say its their own fault #idk maybe my parents were just That Shitty and nobody else has this issue #but regardless. on the off chance that someone went through what i did:#i see u. you've done nothing wrong. you didn't fuck up in some way that makes you deserve to have dandruff #and by no means do you deserve to be shamed for it #certainly not to a degree where you feel like you have to cause yourself pain with scrubbing and picking and chemicals that don't even work #(which is what I've been doing)#dandruff havers ily and i am giving you a lil forehead kissie #dandruff shamers i am going to killing you with hammers

Hello praying people, I'm not doing well and would really appreciate your prayers right now <3

#long very boring and unnecessarily detailed tag monologue incoming‚ feel free to skip:#this is going to sound like a silly thing to be hitting rock bottom over #but i’m fairly certain i have a semi-rare skin condition known as sensitive skin syndrome #which is basically where skin gets progressively more sensitive #until it won’t tolerate the topical application of anything at all without getting irritated #usually it happens to people on the skin of their face and i have it there but i also specifically have it on my lips #(which apparently is extremely not normal; i found a dermatologist’s case study from like 2019 of one woman who had it on her lips #and according to this case study there were no other cases of people having it on their lips #in all the dermatological literature he had read)#i can’t follow the protocol which all the journal articles i’ve been able to find say is helpful for the rest of the face which is basicall #leave the area the heck alone for at least a year #because if i don’t apply anything to my lips for more than two or three days they will get so dry they crack and bleed #so it’s looking like one way or another i may be having to deal with dry burning irritated lips for the rest of my life #and i’m not dealing with the thought of that very well #i’ve already suffered so much anguish from extreme sensitivity on the rest of my face #and not being able to take proper care of the skin there #and this is just too much for me #i know God is allowing this for a reason but it’s filling me with so much frustration and panic and despair that i don’t know how to go on #but i must and i will #this isn’t a serious or a life-threatening condition but it’s looking like a pretty hopeless one and it’s hurting me badly #and i would appreciate prayers that it would just be healed or that i would know what to do #i think i will try going to my dermatologist but somehow i doubt she's even heard of sensitive skin syndrome #on a COMPLETELY unrelated note i'm just about to get my period and also for two days i've ''eaten'' nothing but vegetable smoothies #and those in pretty small amounts because they're disgusting #(do a detox my hormonal health doctor said)#(it'll be fun she said)#ok if you read this far you're so brave braver than any u.s. marine etc.#thanks for reading ily <3

recent "I swear I'm a fic writer, not a serial killer" google searches:

how much hair can you rip out at once

does ripping out hair make a sound

nerve damage from cut arm

where are the nerves in your arm

how long to bleed out from carotid artery

windpipe etymology

#that last one i'm still mad about #because apparently in the early 1500s someone was like 'hey why don't we just say 'trachea' in english instead of greek'#and just straight translated it to 'windpipe' and that was that #TECHNICALLY in greek it was 'trakeia arteria' which is more like 'rough windpipe'#since in ancient greece they thought arteries carried air so they had to distinguish this other weird chunky tube somehow #presumably when that misunderstanding got sorted out everyone started using 'artery' for the blood pipes and 'trachea' for the air pipe #but i was not expecting 'that's the literal translation of the greek anatomical term' as the answer to 'why is it called the windpipe' :|#i also learned that there's some tiktok trend regarding a particular way you can pull out your hair so it makes a 'satisfying' sound #and basically every dermatologist saying 'don't do that'

i saw a tiktok showing pretty much kylie jenner's melting face and people in the comments were being like "this is so mean for no reason and she looks good" which in my OPINION while yes sure it's a little mean it's like she could get all her filler dissolved and fix this issue and i think it's good for the general public to see just how all that filler is gonna look in 5-10 years. like this isn't bullying its a wake up call it's an intervention it's a public service announcement. maybe young people especially will think before they waste their money getting injected

#also i've seen multiple dermatologists and plastic surgeons say you don't need to get filler touch ups #it doesn't “dissolve” like people claim that's a money making scheme #it definitely doesn't dissolve every 6 months #like its not even mean shes getting near uncanny valley at this point and kim and khloe are already there

I found a website where you can type the ingredients of the skin product you're using and it tells you whether they're comedogenic or not and if there's an irritant in there as well. The site is in Spanish but I assume it can be easily translatable by your browser.

But it case it's not, I translated it for you

Once you click Verify, it brings you to this page:

The mildly comedogenic ingredients are in yellow, moderate in orange, and high in red. The irritating ingredients are in blue.

The two "warnings" on top are the conclusions the website reached, the yellow one says this product is potentially safe, except if the case my skin has a strong tendency to get obstructed pores. The blue one says it can be irritating, especially in sensitive skins (you can't see all the ingredients here, but the last one was parfum, which is an irritant).

The website also said products that have comedogenic ingredients are usually safe as long as those ingredients aren't within the 5 first positions on the list.

Disclaimer: I'm not a dermatologist nor do I know anything more than the average person about skincare, I'm just an acne sufferer who thought this could be of use to people like me. And I hope it is!!

Here's the link to the website

#acne #skincare #skin care #I've been having bad acne since the pandemic because of the masks and it went away a bit but now it's come back #and i think it was because i started using a moisturizer with sesame oil which is moderately comedogenic and it got BAD. the worse it's been #i stopped using it and my mother asked the pharmacist one day what products would be good for me and they recommended a cream and it got #better immediately. but it's not gone yet #they told us i could get checked by a dermatologist at the pharmacy and i went today (it's free) and they made a skincare routine for me #gave me samples to see how it would go before i bought anything #and they told me to use a non-comedogenic sunscreen and asked me whether mine is #and it says nothing on the package. like explicitly saying non-comedonegic #so i tried searching for the brand on the internet and ended up finding this website

being mad at my parents for events long passed hours

#man my mom used to have my sisters help her pin me down so she could pop all the pimples on my face. bruh that fucking hurt. also.#worst thing you can do for those... i was having age-typical acne and i guess she just didn't like to look at it?? idk.#the acne itself didn't hurt but there was a lot of it so just like. you know how it does indeed hurt to pop those. well there were a lot #and she didn't stop even when i was crying and screaming bc she wasn't done??#and she did it to my back too and some of those grew on nerves and hurt even fucking more #and no she was not using properly sterilized equipment or even fresh washed hands thanks for asking <3 she acted entirely on impulse lol #i mean. i guess she knows its wrong **now** bc she hasn't tried anything similar with my baby sister....???#and shes starting to get acne like i used to have.#idk is that dramatic to be upset about. just imagine being pinched and pricked nonstop for like 2 hours. maybe it wasn't 2 hours.#but also physically restrained too like straight up sat on. is that fucked up.... thats not normal right???#and uh. a few years ago they held me still to shave my armpits with my dad's clippers bc mom is completely convinced #it isn’t possible to be hygenic as a 'woman' with pit hair or anything bc of Pheromones!!! and when i say goddamn fine #i'll just use men's hygiene stuff then she says that won't work bc Pheromones!!!!#like having a slightly different endocrine system makes ppl a different species or something #anyway. i cried just a little bit when they did that <3 gave me razor burn #and after my dad asked like 'is growing that hair out like. important to your identity or something' and.#well i dont know but that fucking hurt and you violated the choice that *eye* was making with *my* body #man i know mom still thinks she never physically abused me bc she didn't ever like. beat me up or anything but. thats abuse right??#she still thinks i was calling her abusive out of fucking nowhere.#sometimes she asks 'when was i ever abusive' and i give her an example and she goes 'well that was JUST BECAUSE--' and like. girl.#you think just bc you can justify it to yourself it wasn't abuse? every abuser can justify it to themselves....#talk tag #man i keep forgetting about how she used to physically restrain me to do her not-dermatologist approved extractions.#i guess it mostly didn't hurt that bad but like. the forcefullness and duration of it. lmao #anyway i found her a late mothers day gift today. its a hairstick with a dragonfly charm #abuse tw #sorry if that triggered anyone b4 i remembered to tag it

Not to tell you guys what to do and I’m too lazy to find sources but like YES if you usually wash your hair like daily and suddenly let it go for longer it WILL get greasy because it’s like “wait I usually get washed now and I’m not being washed, I don’t know what’s happening so I guess I’ll make a bunch of oil”

But your hair, and especially your scalp, doesn’t NEED that

So if you wait it out, or even just rinse with water only every other day, you can change that greasiness response so you can go a lot longer without washing

I know people who shampoo their hair like once a month but in between it looks totally fine and doesn’t smell or anything

#I just don’t know if people like. know that #I think dermatologists say to do it once or twice a week?#text

Yesterday my mom came to my door with a little box in her hand and said "Do you have a problem with dry skin? This body moisturizer can help, it's very good, I have this extra one sealed for you if you want!" Like some sort of personification of an ad

#i cannot emphasize enough that she usually Does Not Talk Like That #and she didnt say 'oh do you want this moisturizer I have that I'm not actually using?' or 'i know you have dry skin so I brought you this'#she literally ASKED me if I have dry skin #and she didn't say anything else first ????#like MOM YOU'VE BEEN TO THE DERMATOLOGIST WITH ME YOU KNOW WHAT MY SKIN PROBLEMS ARE #WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU #WHO TURNED YOU INTO A MOISTURIZER ADVERTISEMENT #MOOOOOMMM #anyway I got the cream it's very nice #i didn't shower today and hid my stinkiness in it #wHO WON NOW MOM

Me: already not having energy to care about anything

The skin under my eye that I thought was fine now: hey so I have some little bumps now…

Me: ….great…

#I have a dermatologist appointment next week but I just…I don’t have the bandwidth to deal with physical crap on top of everything #but if cause I still have to deal with it cause I can’t ever get a break #*of course #last week was hard physically crap and now let’s pile more on top of it!#it’s not like I’m already dealing with too much and can’t process anything anymore! oh wait I am!#thanks body! or should I say no thank you 🫠#aceo rambles
