23 Aug 2009 Visit to Skin Clinic
 |  Category: my life  | Tags: ,  | 8 Comments

I twitted about wanting to visit a skin specialist. And on 21st August 2009, I took the plunge and went ahead to see one at Novena Medical Center, Loke Skin Clinic Pte Ltd. Being my first time there, I was quite taken aback by the sights around the Medical Center. It’s nice, relaxingly nice.

Shortly after waiting for 10 minutes or so, I got to see the doctor. He’s awfully nice, as he explains to me the steps to approach and solve the problem that I have.

Apparently, I have 2 problems. (1) My skin is oily, and it will remain so for the next couple of years. (2) My pimples leaves me scars (genetically).

So my treatment involves taking oral medication, and application of lotions to bring down the problem to a more controllable state. Now is to prevent new pimples from popping out, then eradicate the scars. It will take me time, but I am prepared to go through the period of treatment.

Thankfully, no dietary restrictions, just no facials, and avoid sunlight. This is to ensure that my scars don’t get darken.

One month of medication before follow up appointment. And I feel that the price I paid is pretty reasonable. :)

Am hoping this will change something I always wanted to do since a few years back. :)
