Trying to invest more in my skincare. Is the best way to begin to go to a dermatologist? (I don’t have any specific skin issues though) Follow-up: are dermatologists generally covered by insurance?

1. Not necessarily
2. Generally speaking, yes in the US
Start with: sunscreen, daily. A retinol at night and a vitamin c serum during the day (under SPF!). If you want to get fancy can add a moisturizer at night/day

yes to all these suggestions - but i’d say in addition to sunscreen daily, start with moisturizer before adding anything else on this list to your routine. Less is more and i know that for myself and many people, adding the moisture that my skin so desperately needed (even for oily skin) changed everything!

A dermatologist for a medical reason is covered but not if you’re looking for cosmetic help (which it sounds like is what you’re doing). I personally have never heard of going to a dermatologist just for general skin help, most people go to estheticians or plastic surgeons/medical spas for that kind of thing

Makes sense, thank you!!

A dermatologist can absolutely help you form a skin care routine and prescribe medication to help with things like acne, irritation etc. they also do extractions.

An esthetician can also assess your skin and suggest a regimen, give you non prescription treatments.

I use both.

If you’ve never been to a derm before I would start there. They can give you more targeted advice. An office visit is usually just your copay for a specialist (so any non-PCP visit). They can also assess for skin damage and stuff like that.

The best thing for your skin is a consistent routine. Tretinoin (retinol) at night and SPF of at least 30 is really all you need!

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

I recently started dating this guy. He is really good in bed (well endowed, good stamina, great foreplay, etc). But he doesn’t cum after sex.

We’ve been together for the last 4-5 days and have done it many times (early phases of a relationship). And he came only once.
