My skin problem. Acne

My skin problem. Acne

In 30 years, for the first time in my life, I went to see a cosmetologist. A nice girl in a mask and a white coat asked me to undress, covered herself with a long white towel, applied a pleasant gel to her face. When the beautician last wiped her skin with a warm wet towel, she said cautiously: "You know, we do not even work like this." My face was red-blue: forehead, cheeks, chin - everything was strewn with large painful pimples. To a condition with which some beauticians do not even dare to work, the skin on the face has deteriorated in just a year.

In fact, I did not have skin problems even in adolescence. I still look at the old photos with sadness. Acne has always been with someone else. I remember how in the student days after the next party I was at home with a friend. Before going to bed, she washed off the foundation and, with a certain threat in her voice, said: "Do not tell anyone that you saw me in this state."

 

Treatment Acne

Everything happened suddenly: one by one closed white comedones appear, but I'm already lying red and defenseless under the bright lamp of a confused cosmetologist. I underestimated the scale of the problem from the very beginning. For about a year, the only remedy was cleansing in cosmetic salons and medical cosmetics from the mass market. It did not get any better. After about a year of torment, my mother took me to a gastroenterologist who discovered a lot of internal problems and prescribed a handful of medications. Next was a visit to the endocrinologist. The doctor looked at me and listlessly said: "You obviously have a hormonal disorder, have hormones", - and immediately prescribed me pills. Then, years later, when examined by other specialists, I learned that it was rather irresponsible - to prescribe hormonal preparations by eye, without analyzing.

Hormonal pills are often used to fight acne. Doctors usually point to their anti-androgenic properties - such drugs reduce the secretion of the sebaceous glands. And despite the fact that the hormonal cause of the appearance of acne in me was not proven, pills written blindly, helped. About a year later on my face there were only pale consequences of painful redness - postacne and light scars. There were no new inflammations, and over time, I happily forgot about my problem. Here it would be possible to finish my simple story, but as it were not so. The magic pill of acne does not exist. 

My skin NOW

 Most recently, when the problem of acne went into remission, I was given several injections of hyaluronic acid. After that, the inflammation became even less, and on a recent vacation for the first time in two years I did not use a foundation cream at all. I continue to regularly go on ultrasonic cleaning and try to do it every three weeks. And in the autumn I plan to undergo a procedure of laser peeling, which should equalize quite noticeable scars on my face. I hope by December I will forget about the foundation. And to maintain the condition of the skin in a normal state, I will continue to use medicinal cosmetics.
