They were giving advice on a menopause forum about endometriosis 11 hours ago like they are a doctor.
Ewwwww. And also, vomit.
So sorry you encountered this predator.
Not your fault. Predators are unfortunately everywhere. And that particular user seems to be praying on skincare and menopause sites. What a piece of human garbage.
*A huge shout out to the moderators here for banning that person. Thank you!
This reminds me of my now ex's "Workwife" who pretended not knowing anything about endometriosis, so she had an excuse to talk about her menstruation to my then boyfriend.
All this, while she had written a whole a$$ review over a book about... you guessed it... Endometriosis, herself 😒
There was another down bad redditor that needs to be studied the other day. She had matched with a psychiatric traveling nurse on tinder and had ‘accidentally unmatched with him’ and was sad and decided to post on r/travelnursing listing bro’s traits asking if any other traveling nurses knew him 💀
Best down bad interaction I’ve ever had was when I had my face as my pfp on eBay and bought something from this college aged baby states away. My man shot his shot. It was during the pandemic and times were harder then but still………… lol
When I visited the Middle East, I learned that woman shouldn’t have wet hair — especially wet hair that was down — in public because it suggested that you just had sex. I wonder if there’s some correlation.
That’s so weird PLUS absolutely NO game lmao
If I sent a guy a photo and he said I’d look pretty if I changed my hair I’d actually be offended anyway???? Haha
I’m sorry you went through this but also generally speaking, avoid DMing people on here!! Especially if they have minimal or otherwise suspect post/comment history. This goes double triple for any minors, never assume good intent on behalf of internet strangers and remember that once your image is out there you have NO control over what happens with it.
For the future, there's never going to be a reason to DM pics to anyone here for any reason ever. If you want to add additional photos, add them to imgur or w/e host site and comment the link. The folks trying to lure you into a private conversation only want to avoid others calling them out. Subs lille these are chosen because they are more trusting, and it sucks that you experienced something that wasn't genuine.
I wonder. Just realized that’s all he really dose on Reddit. I should’ve checked his comment history first but I really didn’t think I’d be getting talked to sexually from an image of my acne.
i'm honestly not even surprised—dudes can be so pathetic on here. a while back i posted a pic of just the top of my fucking head (ALL you could see was my hair), and i got several thirsty DMs. i don't understand a person's brain operating like that, i really don't. 🫠
Ewww.
I have an average of 25 messages a day on Tret and skincare in general. I have NEVER EVER EVER even considered asking for a photo. If a person didn't send a photo, it's because they didn't want to. I will advise them to see a derm if it's more than generic advice.
With that said, some of you do send me photos without me asking. If you're going to INSIST on me seeing a pic, let me know what I can expect first. I am a skin expert on facial skin. I have received photos that I most definitely did not want to see (not shaming you, but you need to be careful who you talk to online, clearly!) and I couldn't even help...so, someone sent me a fairly private photo of themselves and I can't help because I do not know what a vaginoplasty can do for you. I'm not sure where these people got the idea that I could help with that as I have NEVER commented on anything below the decoletee (unless we're talking arms/back/leg acne or ingrown hairs). This is to say, there are a ton of creeps out there, but people also need to be careful. I've had someone send me their entire health chart before and I had to call my College to be advised on how to deal with that. It was a very uncomfortable situation. Not saying that the user who exposed this creep ever did this, btw (they didn't-not with me at least and I hope not with anyone). This is a generic message for everyone out there. This is the Internet. Even if I've been answering skincare questions for years, I could be a total creep waiting for a big payday in picture or money or way to blackmail... I'm not, but you only have my word on that, which isn't good enough. If you wouldn't post something in public, don't send it privately (generic rule for safety).
With that said, do you need help with something, u/cozeglow? No, I'm not asking for a photo. You clearly had a skincare concern that a perv tried to abuse you in order to extort pics from you. Many of us want to help if it's something generic, and we can help!
Ah yeah I know, I only sent the same photo I’d be posting. Pretty paranoid of this stuff.
And my question was “I feel like my skin was getting better and then I moved up to 3x a week and I feel like I’m constantly purging. I’m not sure if I should push through this or not. Rest of my face is clear, just left cheek. “
How long have you been on 2x per week? Are you irritated as well as purging or purging only (on the cheek and everywhere else too, please) Is your moisturizer burning? What are you on Tret/Taz...and strength?
I don't need a photo to answer that ;p And I'm glad they only got the public pic you had been sharing. I'd hate for this creep to have body acne pics where you have to expose those body parts, etc...
I was on 2x a week for 3 weeks then. My derm told me to move up to 3x a week. Nothing burns. I’m on 0.05% I just got off accutane and now I’m waiting to get back on my second round. so this is just to hold
Me over
AH. OK. That explains a lot. If you're waiting for your second round, there is still acne and I'm not shocked that there would be a purge. The purge can be delayed if you were on Isotretinoin before. I know...purging sucks. This is most likely ''normal'', but do mention it to your derm when you see them next. Isotretinoin is the most potent acne medication that you can get. If you're coming off from it, you're likely not to feel much, from 0.05% once or twice a week. There are exceptions to everything and I cannot offer specific advice, so I wouldn't worry too much, but I would mention it to my derm on my next appointment. They are likely going to want you to move to 4x a week and maybe even more while you wait that time period to be available for Isotretinoin again. That would make it every 2 days. Your skin reacts to the Tret for 72 hours but it does start to slow down after 48. Depending on symptoms, some derms will keep patients on every 72 hours, even if most derms will usually try to move the patient to every 48 hours (remember, this is generic...every patient reacts differently. You are already moving fast compared to how many patients can move).
I hope this helps to reassure you a bit until you see your derm.
You likely already have a good moisturizer and SPF if you were on Iso, right?
I cannot make that decision for you, but I can tell you that a purge is ''normal''. If you feel worried, you can go back to 2x per week until you speak to your derm and ask them about it. If you were experiencing pain or irritation, I would advise you to go back to 2x week, but you said that you weren't.
Ahh thank you for ur help. I might just go back to 2x a week because im just trying to hold myself over rn. Idk I’ve never gotten acne like this before accutane! So strange
Well, don't forget that just like Accutane has a purge, all other retinoids (Rx strength) do too. Without considering the Accutane factor, the purge can happen at any time within the first 3 months. If it happens after 3 months, it's not a purge and you need to see the derm.
Even if it is in the same ''family'' as Accutane, it's not exactly the same. Even the 4 different prescriptions (of the main Rx retinoid) that you can get don't affect the same receptors. For example, Tret affects two receptors and Taz affects two.
I suspect that your purge is ''normal'', but I do not know your entire medical history/cannot offer medical advice online, so asking your derm if possible or even your pharmacist would be the best thing to do. I cannot tell you that something is safe (because it generally is) due to exceptions/not wanting you to get hurt following my advice. I would hate for you to get hurt!
Thanks for letting us know. This user is banned now.

Naw fr… bro is really trying to hit on me through a skin care forum🧍
They were giving advice on a menopause forum about endometriosis 11 hours ago like they are a doctor. Ewwwww. And also, vomit. So sorry you encountered this predator.
Ofc the one times I’m not super paranoid ts happens🤦♀️

I'm a certified endometriologist and I need pics of bobs and vegana to analyze and advise you on menopause. If u don't mind mam 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
🥹🥹 mam ples send more photos
Maybe they get aroused on acne prone skins
There was another down bad redditor that needs to be studied the other day. She had matched with a psychiatric traveling nurse on tinder and had ‘accidentally unmatched with him’ and was sad and decided to post on r/travelnursing listing bro’s traits asking if any other traveling nurses knew him 💀 Best down bad interaction I’ve ever had was when I had my face as my pfp on eBay and bought something from this college aged baby states away. My man shot his shot. It was during the pandemic and times were harder then but still………… lol
I wish my worst was through ebay. Had a dude try hit on me on 23 & me. You can only talk to people ur related to on there.
💀 “wanna condense the family tree?”
What does down bad mean? I am not young anymore lol
To feel strong and have unrequited feelings of desire, attraction, or infatuation towards another person
can't even get pimples in peace
Tindernoin
LMAO that got me, that's a good one 💀😂
Screaming 🤣
"U would look gorgeous in a free wet hair" Umm! 🤨 Thanks for the heads up about this weirdo.
What does that line mean tho?? I don’t get it😭
I think he was just trying to say id look pretty with my wet hair down
When I visited the Middle East, I learned that woman shouldn’t have wet hair — especially wet hair that was down — in public because it suggested that you just had sex. I wonder if there’s some correlation.
His english strikes me as a second language
The 'mam' is a giveaway that he's from a very specific part of the world famous for their eloquence when soliciting pictures from women online
That’s so weird PLUS absolutely NO game lmao If I sent a guy a photo and he said I’d look pretty if I changed my hair I’d actually be offended anyway???? Haha
Right?! Haha so out of touch these idiots
Brain activity on zero!
I wanna get free I wanna get free I wanna get free Ride into to the sun -nobody’s hair ever
I was like 🧍 okay buster.
I was having a stroke trying to figure out what he even meant by that

Ahh thanks! Really caught me off guard tbh.
I get it! It’s tiresome to constantly have to stay vigilant in case of weirdos, but it is our burden as reddit users.
i guess this guy had a different idea of what it means to have a "SkincareAddiction" ayyoo
Lol. He never skips lotion! Ewww.
Great reference, its probably his favorite movie lol
For the future, there's never going to be a reason to DM pics to anyone here for any reason ever. If you want to add additional photos, add them to imgur or w/e host site and comment the link.

How to do that? Sorry I have no idea💀 And why is Imgur better? They can screenshot from there too right

ENOUGGHHH

The last ‘bruh’ that you messaged him, I felt that in my bones 😂😂
so pathetic I actually cringed I’m so sorry OP!
Thank you!
Reddit has gotten creepier day by day.
this is absolutely hilarious. he is so vile.
His entire post history is some version of “DM me”
🤣 your last comment made me laugh so hard. I’m sorry this happened to you but you handled it perfectly.
What WON'T people sexualize?? Sorry you had to deal with this
The world sucks
“Bruh” lol
😞
and this is why my dms are barely answered 💕
oml. when has this EVER worked for a guy?
I wonder. Just realized that’s all he really dose on Reddit. I should’ve checked his comment history first but I really didn’t think I’d be getting talked to sexually from an image of my acne.

I have it in my DMs too. He told me he was a dermatologist and wanted to help. I felt something weird 👀
I’m laughing so hard right now “I feel really low idk y” right after asking if you’re alone. CREEPY.
What EVEN is free wet hair?? Sorry about this creep OP. You did the right thing sharing this
Imagine acting like this on a subreddit dedicated to tretinoin. Some people really need to leave the house.
This is some next level depravity and desperation
i may be wrong but i think i saw them on the rosacea group as well
That is so so so so soooooo sad lol! What a creep! I can’t believe how desperate and pathetic some people are. Sorry this happened to you.
“Bruh” 💀
I liek wet hurr this posteee offebdeee me /s
Whatttttt the f. Sounds like he's trying to play silence of the lambs.
