[PSA] Sudden skin changes are not normal, don’t just post here, go see a doc if something looks off

Beauty Tips For Body Care
This is partially being said because we all need the reminder and partially because I’ve seen several posts lately where people really needed to seek medical attention instead of just asking Reddit what to do about a skin condition.Personal anecdote that ties into this: was dealing with a sudden odd skin sensation that I thought was just typical summer chafing at first, but rapidly became much more irritated and serious, to the point where I had holes inexplicably appearing in my skin. Called my GP and they recommended the ER, am now being referred to a dermatology specialist because they think it’s a skin disorder that flared up. The point being, posting here wouldn’t have gotten me the appropriate medical help because as much as we love skincare and sharing advice, we’re not doctors and with rapid changes it’s important to get the right treatments so you don’t further worsen a condition by putting something on that skin that might irritate it. If something appears without explanation on your skin and it looks concerning and has discharge or anything, please, for the love of god, go to a doctor because your health is worth it.
