How to Handle Acne Treatment!
I am not a doctor nor a medical expert, I am
just sharing my experience if you ever decide to undergo this kind of
medication please consult a dermatologist.
While in medication for hormonal imbalance.
I used to pray for my
health while on this journey. Having this powerful medicine might harm your
health if you are not careful and if you don't follow the doctor prescriptions. I used to research first and watch a lot of reviews regarding this medication before taking it.
Please be aware when taking this kind of medication you should avoid planning of having a baby or avoid doing the medication while you are pregnant as it will cause a defect on the unborn baby.
The most important part
of curing my hormonal acne is to discipline and coach self in everyday routine.
Starting from the foods I ate, skin care routine, the product I use to take care of
my skin, Timing of the medication intake, how do I handle my emotions, fight my
laziness, the pain of the acne, dealing with people when they see me with ugly
face and more.
About the food, I ate
I have to prepare
healthy food for myself. Choosing fruits and vegetables, not oily food (Even if
I am craving for fries that are big no...). Most food that I ate was steamed
like broccoli, carrots, and fish. In addition, every morning before doing my
stuff, I used to drink warm water with fresh lemon on it. I also carry
all day a bottle of water with fresh lemon and most of the time I add cucumber,
kiwi and green apple to add some flavour on it to detoxify my body, moreover, it
also helps to reduce my calories.
Skincare routine
At that time my skin was fragile. I have to wash my skin carefully and gently especially my face. As I woke up in the morning I usually wash my face first with a look warm water then using Cetaphil liquid soap I rub in my hand first then I gently rub into my face for a few seconds, I raise my face with normal water after, for drying up my skin I used tissue not a towel because after using once I'll throw it away, while the towel we use it many times before washing it again it is prone to bacteria and your skin has small wounds it might irritate and can worsen acne.
I use different kind of
a soap that I purchase in Philippine after I finish the liquid soap. I ask my
mom to buy me 10 pcs every time my cousin go on a vacation. Of meztiza soap and give to someone I know travelling to
the country I live in present.
There are some
distributor in UAE but it is expensive than the usual price in Philippine and I cannot assure if the soap is genuine.
Moving on, after washing
my face I put moisturizer on my face, petroleum jelly for my lips and body
lotion with sunscreen protection I can't leave the house if I don't have this
in my skin. I also need to bring those things all day with me whenever I am.
In the evening before going
to sleep I do the same way. The tip is to moisturize and moisturized the whole
body.
I didn't ever pop up the acne and pimples in the face the reason is if it heals at
the end of the treatment it will cause deep hole spot on the face and I don't
want to have that (let it heal itself). I don't either peel my skin when it’s
very dry, some skin is peeling off itself. Let the medication do the job to
clear it.
Side Effects of the
medication, how do I deal with it?
Taking Oratane has some
side effects depend on a person. Dryness all over the body is normal if you are taking this treatment. In my case, I usually get lazy and felt very
tired. Sometimes at night thinking about every situation happening, then I
can't handle myself and I get so emotional the worst thing was nobody were there
to give comfort.
I suggest taking this
medication while you’re with family or love once so you couldn't think about
all the issues you’re worrying. Make self-surrounded with people who care and love
you.
Most of the time I go
away from the negativity that affects my feelings and emotions. I make myself
busy and go with someone who cheers me up.

What I used while in Medication
I bought a good moisturising lotion and fill a small bottle and keep it with me all the time to apply it if I feel needed. I usually used liquid cleanser soap during 1st to 2nd month of my treatment for washing my face to avoid hush irritation on my skin.
