I have experienced dermatophyte spreading on multiple areas of my body (small red spots that look like dry skin) on both of my trials of LL-37.
First tried it in Summer 2020 and noticed that after 1-2 weeks of 100mcg daily I had some small red spots popping up across my body. I have had small red spots for quite a few years (about 3 places on my body) that I only got diagnosed in 2019 as dermatophyte.
They never grew but were kind of resistant to dermal treatments as well. With this and the last course of LL-37, both at the 1-2 week mark, I began to have about 4x the amount of red spots on different areas.
Is this some kind of "positive" reaction in terms of Herxheimer-Reaction or rather a sign of my immune system not being able to fight the dermatophyte anymore?
The last time I dropped the LL-37 (after 3 weeks on it) the dermatophyte went away quite quickly and only stayed in these 2-3 places like before.
I have ME/CFS so pretty fucked immune system.
Last week I picked up a really sad case. He's a 31 year old man paraplegic from a gun shot wound he suffered in 2014. He's poor and black. Most of our patients are wealthy and white. He was admitted almost 8 weeks ago with for acute on chronic sacral osteomyelitis and has been on piperacillin-tazobactam and minocycline basically since then. My first day meeting him we were short staffed due to holiday coverage, and I had 23 patients on my census so I did not have the time to explore his chart. I read through the novella-length progress note written by the previous hospitalist and was able to gather the basics. The plan I inherited was to find an orthopedic surgeon at another institution who'd perform hip disarticulation or possibly hemipelvectomy. The big academic shop in town apparently recently lost their surgeon who did those, and the smaller academic shop has a guy who does it but "only for oncologic indications" (???) according to the note. The hospitalists before me had tried a few other centers and identified a list of candidate surgeons, most of whom had declined. The last remaining candidate is a few hours away, and documentation indicates that my colleagues have faxed the records for review and consideration for transfer. The note contains a phone number for me to call and follow up. I call and get a nurse who confirms they have the records but informs me the surgeon is out of town for Christmas but he'll be back Monday (yesterday) so please call back then.
I go meet the patient, a very polite and extremely sarcopenic young man. Always "Yes, sir," and "No, sir." I introduce myself and explain that I'll be picking up where the prior hospitalist left off. I explain that I called the transfer center and we're waiting to hear from a surgeon who's out of town, so please just relax over the holiday weekend and I'll let him know as soon as I hear anything. I examine his wounds and see that our wound care team is doing a great job, everything looks clean and freshly bandaged. He has temporal wasting. His calves are as big around as my wrists. I have difficulty auscultating the chest due to the sunken intercostal spaces. I tell him I'm sorry he'll be spending Christmas in the hospital but that I'll be seeing him each day and I'm happy to help him feel more comfortable in any way I can. He tells me his pain is well controlled.
The next day is Friday, Christmas Eve. I go in to see him with no updates and start making small talk. Football is on TV. He tell

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I greatly reduced sugar in my diet . That got rid of my seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp and face. Also helped with a number of other ailments Completely removed sugar from my diet then the eczema disappeared. But would always flare if I ate any sugar or alchohol Removed Gliaden, Dairy, Nuts and Alcohol from my diet. My eczema is gone. And I can eat sugar to my heart's content now I'll see how long this lasts.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!

Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!

It was about a weak back.
