[My Acne Story] "When will it ends??"


Hellooooow, I’m coming back again on blogspot after a very long hiatus. So tonight (actually I write this in the middle of the night) I want to share my severe experience  in fighting  acne and its scar. Actually I should mention it in plural word because I got a plenty of it, so if I used word acne it probably wouldn’t describe the reality. 

Firstly, I’m not sure when the exact time I got an acne landed on my face for the first time, but for sure that was the beginning of me versus myself. Why I called it the phase of me versus myself because having acnes is completely a struggle, there is a time you felt like you couldn’t be able to reach the standard of beauty made by people around you. Yes, we named it society and we all knew they’re so cruel, indeed. You have no idea how to get rid with those pimples on your face, and you left hating yourself for being ugly. 

I wasn’t older than 13 when I got my first acne. That was cruel for me or maybe that was pretty unfair for me??? The answer is YES, it was, it was so freaking unfair. With lack of knowledge, I tried so many face wash or even skincare which so easy to get them from drugstore. If I’m not mistaken my very first facewash was Ponds. I tried the one with pink color as its package. The result was very disappointing me so I moved to Clean & Clear. At first it was nice and very smooth, it didn’t make my face dry and stiff but it didn’t help my acne problem. It was frustrating me. 

Actually I have tried so many products beside the two above. I couldn’t mention it one by one because it will be a long story. Fair and Lovely, JF Sulfur, Hadalabo, Acnes, or even baby’s soap!! All of them have paid a visit on my face. Fixed, my face was tortured by chemicals. It would be getting worse, like how easy my face getting an acne. That was very easy and quick but I have to try million time harder to recover it. I’m done with that, I have tried to ignore it but it always end up with insecurities being the winner. To prevent me from being suicidal just because acne problem I went to a doctor. Seriously dude I have been thinking that way, I didn’t want to live with acne on my entire life. 

Okay forget the suicide part. As I mentioned before, I went to a doctor. Not a specialist one but only a general practitioners. Dumb me I failed to remember the doctor’s name, it’s doctor Manik/Menik/Munik or whatever because I don’t care anymore. Dumb me part 2, she’s effing a general practitioners not a specialist. If you guys have a problem with your skin don’t hesitate to go to the specialist. Trust me, don’t waste your time and money like me because I didn’t get what I want, my skin was not even getting better. My parents already spent approximately 500K for once visit and for me that was so priceeeyy if I compare it with my economic condition. After spending 500K  I only got antibiotics and vitamin. Ugh I’m broke AF!

Then, after three months of medication I still didn’t get anything worthy. The results were not increasing from the low level aka no results. So, I decided to stop to go there. I’m not the one who give up easily, I moved on from my past medication. I chose to get treatment at beauty clinics or for short dermatologist. I went to Citra Sehat, I brought my confidence and ready to be fully recovered. This is my first time experiencing facial treatments. That was totally hurt. TOTALLY HURT GUYSS. I don’t know why every clinics I have visited always tell me to go back there weekly/monthly in interval of three months. Been fooled yet still confused. 

You all guys really need to know, I have been experiencing facial, peeling, acupuncture, and all. The result??? Still none pity me. 

After being ingested by advertising wile I can say that my acnes problem starting to fade away by degrees. BUT, I have to put an underline to the sentence before. Because why? The scars really made me sick. I felt like my face had the worst texture ever, the pocked, the redness, the oil, and all. Fucking sicken me! All I need was my face free from acne, that’s all, not being kinclong like this if ya know how bungkus gorengan looks like. I think you all guys could easily guess what I would have done afterwards. Absolutely, I moved on.

The next destination was  Eva Mulia Clinics. First, I only got its medicine from my neighbour who has same acne problem like me but she already healed. It went well, and I got the fast result. Almost all of my acnes are getting calm and fade, it only leaves a redness. But DUMB ME PART 3, I’m not quite satisfied. I thought I must go to the clinic for meeting the doctor or at least having a treatment. Sadly, I chose the wrong decision. All those treatments only broke my face out mercilessly. At the end, I stopped every treatments that I’ve started. I didn’t want it to get worse. Sad.

After all, my face still full of acnes, I tried to act like I don’t care anymore (this is sounds bullshit). I want to fight acnes with continuing my life confidently. But the fact, I failed again for a million times. My currently skin condition is not even better (it’s getting worse instead), still get a plenty of acne, dull, oily and blemished, and full of imperfections. 

Sooo guys that’s all my acne story. Last, I want to say to you all, you’re pretty just the way you are, no matter if you guys have acnes problem like me or not you’re still pretty. Pretty comes in any looks, acne is normal, having it doesn’t mean you’re less pretty. Cheer up and we fight together 😊
