No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I once had something that would erupt in pus whenever I had a small wound anywhere on my body (and delay healing significantly). It was kinda living inside of me, clawing it's way out.
Bleh. I once had a huge infected area (don't ever do skin picking people) on my leg. Definitely sucked, though not something worth writing a chapter or two about.
Oof, as generally right as you are, you really don't want to pick at your skin, sometimes there actually are reasons..
Back when I was 15 and my pubic hairs were more or less fully growing in, I ended up with a couple of ingrown hairs right under the base of my family staff male member. Yeah, ouch!
After about 2 weeks, I realized those bumps weren't gonna heal up on their own, so I nerved up and started picking with a needle. After a bit, I caught what I thought was one ingrown hair, and managed to pull it out, though it was way tougher than I expected.
What came out looked like one really thick tightly coiled hair, but after I rinsed it off then rolled it in my fingers, it split apart to reveal it was actually 5 hairs all coiled together! Just on the opposite side was another similar bump that had 2 ingrown hairs coiled together the same way.
After removing those, within like 3 days everything was almost completely healed! Yeah, the absolute last place you'd want to have to pick at your skin, but I knew I had to do something...
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
