HOW DID THE PROBLEM START?

Friday, January 9, 2009

Since I was a kid, I was always noticed by other people because of my good skin from top to toe. Some would tell me that I'm so lucky because I do not have to take a bath for me to look clean. They said that when I grow up, I wouldn't have pimples... I only use water to clean my face before because I don't have an oily face at that time. But on a hot day of May 2004, while I was taking a bath, I looked at the mirror, touched my face... (I didn't know that that would be the last time I'm going to touch my smooth face). After touching my face, I get my body soap and I massaged it on my face. I felt good because that's the first time I did that but when I rinsed it, my face felt rough. So I get my loofa , and I scrub my face roughly until the roughness is gone. My face turned red! But it felt smooth. After one day, I noticed that there were few bumps on my forehead. I didn't mind it at first but as days passed by, few bumps turned into many bumps. My mom noticed it and she told me that I should go to the dermatologist. But I don't like to go to the derma because I thought they'll just make my pimples worst! So I look for other ways, one night, I saw my grand mother washing her face with warm water. I asked her why she's using warm water. She told me that it can kill the bacteria. So the other day, I decided to wash my face with HOT water because I thought it would be more effective than warm water. Everyday, for about 5 months, I used HOT water to wash my face. It really hurts. My face always turns red after washing my face. After 5 months of using hot water, there were no improvements at all. It only made my skin worst! My pores became bigger! Bumps turned into large pimples. I want to stop studying at that time because every student in our campus and even my professors are wondering and asking what happened to me? What happened to my face? I tried different products to treat my acne, many many many products (I'll be posting those products that I've used some other time) but none of them really treat my acne. Important events have passed by like New Year's Party, JS Prom, Graduation Day, my Birthday, and I celebrated those events with big pimples on my face... Everynight while I was praying, I cried.. I'm asking Him, why did this happen to me.. What have I done..? And I'm wishing, can You turn back the time? Can You turn it back to the day that I'm going to scrub my face? Everynight for 2 years, that has been my prayer. But now that I have my wonderful girlfriend, I changed my prayer because I don't want to turn back the time. I'm scared that I might not see my girlfriend again... She loves me eventhough I have pimples on my face. But sometimes I feel so shy when we are walking together because she is so beautiful and she has a very wondeful skin... But now that I'm already 3rd Yr. College, my skin improved but the pimples is not totally gone. I still have acne marks and whiteheads and blackheads. When there is an upcoming pimple, I would go to my derma and she'll inject my pimple so it would dry faster. By the way, few months after my High School Graduation, I decided to go to the dermatologist and she's my friend now! (I'll be posting my story with my derma some other time). :)
