My own war...
I've never been so grateful after checking my face out at the bathroom mirror today..
Throughout my young adult life I was suffering with ACNE...it was tough and it destroyed most of my confidence, especially around the opposite sex. It does not affect my work that much but it does not help me much when I was arounf my collegues.
Nothing seemed to work, all those super magic products they show on TV just does not work on me. Trust me I've tried almost all of them!
At times I'm so frustated and very dissapointed with myself for not able to cure my acne. I even tried that cover your face with Acne hair style. It was bad and it ruined my life. Everyday I would check my face thoroughly to check whether there is a new one, I've tried not popping the little bugger but that does not help new ones making my their home.
Then I decided I'm not going to lose and declared them "terrorists", and like Bush decided to smoke them out!
I decided that only a dermatologist can help me. If it would cost me a house I would do it, there is no reason to turn back now! It's me against Acne and I'm not about to lose to those little ugly things!
It took me almost 2 years to eradicate the "Terrorists" of my face. Today they published pictures from my last annual company dinner, imagine looking at my clean face after the long battle...if only the dermatologist knew how much confidence and happiness I gained!
Well I'm still on some cream to lighten up my "battle" scars which i have to continue for another year or so, but hey it's all worthwhile! My advise if you have acne just go to the dermatologist and not waste time! |
