Acne:learn to live with it
By : ashima jain
It is very truely said by somebody and believed by many that your virtues after balancing your vices burn out the sufferings of your last birth and augment the fortunes of your next birth. I must have committed a hineous sin in the past for having to suffer so much now!
I am sitting with the morning newspaper and reading an article about how to get rid of pimples in the teen section. Really, I'll rather wait for them to abate and go away from where thay came! Or else I will surely die of all these dehydrating antibiotics! Whenever I look into the mirror, I switch on the spot light.The soft white light conceals the pimples on my face making my face look beautiful! I love seeing myself then and rejoice at the transitory pleasure of having a scar free , pimple free skin only to realize that the light was just an impostor deceiving me into thinking that one day ..perhaps one day I too, will be blessed with a clear skin.
I know most of us are passing through this stage, yet there are those who are comparativey lucky!
After all, the over all effect of pimples makes one look ugly.My biology teacher once said"Zehra, don't worry, they go naturally. they come and fly away with the wind and you don't even notice." "Yeah what if you had them?", I thought despondently.
My mom tells me that they'll go with water and I sort of can't bear water. I mean how can one hold drinking a colourless, tasteless, odourless liquid all the time My aunt tells me that soon after waking up in the morning,without brushing the teeth, if I apply my saliva on the acne it'll vanish in a week or two. I doubted this one but actually went on with it. Nothing happened.
And then there is this family doctor who says they are genetic. And when i argue with him on this point saying that my mommy did not have any or "suffer" from any rather, he hesitatingly replies that my grandmother had many!
Nevertheless,there are a few advantages of being ugly.For instance,nobody will even think of abducting you! Ha!
But whatever you may say,pimples make you look horrifying and later,one grows to be an ugly duck instead of a young pretty elegant lady as those things leave behind their best friends to trouble you even more. Yes , yes I am talking about marks , pimple marks would be more accurate. And if you have the slightest ambiguity about having getting rid of them by that Himalaya Acne Free cream or any other medicine like that, then you are completely oblivious to a hard and rather sad reality of life.It's my own experience. Learn to live with them.
