how much experience do you have ? im afraid my older brother is going to commit seppku if we dont treat his acne scarring soon. what do you recommend

You can do so much with an accounting degree and just a couple years experience but the type of people who become accountants are too cucky to leave their current cubicle and take a risk

>>19260069
I'm just a resident. It depends on the scar type. Not all acne scars are the same. I'd have to see a photo to judge. There are tons of treatments available though. What has he tried? I'm sure there is something else to try. There is always surgery as a last resort.

>>19260069
Get laser resurfacing or chemical peel.

>>19260069
I bet hes drinking 1/10 the water he should be daily

>>19260343
This is a good option.

>>19260351
Hydration won't do shit for scars, man.

>>19260324
Accountant here. What do you recommend for my psoriasis?

Hydrocortisone cream and Dovonex work a little with a lot of treatments. I'm on two drugs to weaken my immune system for two other autoimmune disorders. Only thing that ever worked really well for my psoriasis is prednisone.

IT consultant working 14 hours a day, i'm fucking tired of it

>>19260324
hes undergone “ microneedling” which didnt help at all. we also took him for a laser treatment last year which seemed to help quite a bit . after the post-op peeling faded he became homebound and depressed again because his scarring is still noticeable according to him.. he acknowledges the improvement but we’ve had to hold off on more treatments due to financial reasons . they said he has “ ice pick” and one other kind of scar

>>19260384
Have you tried phototherapy? Narrowband UVB can be pretty effective, but it's hard to find in some parts of the country.

>industrial chemist, entrenched ten years
Replacing me would literally cost 20-30 million dollars.

>>19260434
Yes full body many years ago. It works but with a lot of treatments. Leaves like a white dry powder stuff. Probably gives cancer. Not anything better than hydrocortisone.

When I was in highschool, I started changing my pillowcase at least once a week and my horrible acne went away in a month

>commercial painter
Literal hell on earth, but i can make extra money pretty easily and the job isn’t wagecucked nor do I really have a boss

>>19260529
Are you a side sleeper?
I usually sleep face up and I can tell I need a new pillow case when my neck gets more pimples.

>>19260424
He may need punch excisions and/or grafts for the deepest ice pick scars if he is determined to get rid of them. If the laser resurfacing worked, I would try to do that again if possible.

>>19260464
The biologics are honestly the best treatments in my opinion (e.g. Stelara, Cosentyx, etc.), But it sounds like you are already immunosuppressed with your other meds. You could try topical tacrolimus or pimecrolimus. Tar is a classical treatment but messy.

>>19260666

thank you for your insight .

>>19260666
I used to use coal tar shampoo. Horrible stuff.

I'm on methotrexate for arthritis and meracaptopurine for ulcerative colitis. These don't help my psoriasis. Neither did humira when I was on that.

>>19260702
No problem.

>>19260764
Stelara and Cosentyx are supposed to be good for plaque psoriasis as well as psoriatic arthritis. You might be able to drop the methotrexate if you go on one of those, but I would check with whoever is managing your mercaptopurine if it wouldn't be contraindicated. In med school, they really emphasized that methotrexate has terrible side effects. It might be nice to swap it out if possible. You getting regular colonoscopies?

>>19260908
The methotrexate is really low dose. Every five years for colonoscopy. Cost me almost $1800 last time with insurance.

Good
>Cost me almost $1800 last time with insurance.
Oof. That rough, man. It seems something insurance should pay for. Medical insurance is really out of whack in the US. $1800 every 5 years is better than than getting colon cancer though. Also, at least you don't have Crohn's disease. Every surgeon I've ever asked has agreed that UC is the "better" version or IBD to have.

Gotta love giving money to people that have inherited millions in real estate from several generations of old rural fucks

>>19261583
I worked on a divorce case once that was some hillbilly who was ungodly rich off of generational land ownership and oil being discovered on the land.

I couldn't believe how much money the guy had. He was from bumfuck nowhere, dumb as hell and the divorce was getting nasty. Just goes to show you do not have to be smart to be rich. Nothing against him either, he struck the lottery by being born.

>non-managing landlord

>>19261629
Must be fucking nice. The worst is when I see someone trying to write off depreciation so they can avoid taxes on their Schedule F total farm income of like 50k and their net worth is like 25 million with trusts that keep the property for them and even pay the property taxes.

>>19259885

It's diet related. First exclude diary, processed foods, oil, sugar, etc. If this doesn't work then try a whole foods plant-based diet(vegan diet).

The UC almost killed me twice. So I wouldn't consider myself lucky. Also wrecked my last two years of college. GPA destroyed.

My cousin was a corporate tax accountant and recently finessed his way into an internal auditing job at a major airline. He seemed pretty happy about the change. I haven't talked to him since Christmas so I have no idea if he's getting laid off.

Good, fuck you guys.
I'm busy doing my accounting reporting deadlines and then you dig up a 3 year old audit you haven't yet finalised, tell me you were looking at the entirely wrong level of materiality and them dump a 80 page checklist of 300 labour hours right on me and tell me it needs to be done in a month

>>19264612
It doesn't work like that man. Managers are very anal about certain qualities in your past jobs. I had a manager that tried to get former big 4 auditors to accept an internship position.

>procurement
Pay is alright I guess. Also pretty easy.

Went from min wage to union pay cap in four months. Its really encouraged me to find a skill and look for a harder challenge... once I get my store through this lockdown bullshit.

it never gets any better, and only worse if you get off the ride.

What's bad about being an accountant? Sounds like a chill job.
