At the point in writing this post, 10 days of treatment has passed. For the uninitiated, I have embarked on a skin treatment program to treat my blemishes and scars.

The hardest thing is to keep my hands off the face, but I am glad I am able to do so for most of the time, and keeping to a regime of medication and creams/lotion application.

My first attempt to getting my condition treated, and I must say that I am beginning to see improvements to my face. It was further affirmed by my other friends who told me that the face is starting to look better. I’m quite encouraged by the results too. It’s a form of motivation to me.

At this point in time, I shall not put up pictures of my improved complexion, unless there’s an overwhelming amount of requests.

I’m placing faith in the medication that I’m prescribed to take, and follow the instructions as diligently as I can. You don’t know how bad I want this to work out.

Another 19 days before the follow up appointment with the doctor.

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.

Crossing fingers,
