Going red in the face
In last post, i mentioned that what i would like to set as a goal for now is to own a car.
yeah, that still stands. :oD
But before that, when i do have enough money one day... the first thing that i wanna use it for....
... is to get treatment for my skin problems. :(
Before i had entered the army, i really never had much problems with my body, other than getting fevers ocassionally... my skin was alright, went through the period of pimples and yeah. But ever since i entered the army, all of a sudden my skin was triggered into erupting rashes and pimple-like spots on my back. I thought maybe cos of the addition stress i was going that kinda triggered it off, and so i didn't take much attention to it as i thought that it would just go away once i got posted out... i also didn't complain that it was bothering me too. However, due to my lack of pyhsical fitness, i was made to go thru BMT the 2nd time round. This time i approached the National Skin Centre for help, and then i was told that i had Eczema. At that point of time the rashes weren't serious enough to grant me a downgrade, and as i continued to struggle to pass out, my condition had worsen.
By the time i was posted to Tengah, it got real bad. My back had spots all over and i had frequent itchings all over. I was given some medication to sort of reduce the effects of the itching and dry skin, but it didn't really help. I dunno why but the thought of making another Skin Centre appointment didn't really crossed my mind then. Beside, ppl who tried to downgrade or "geng" would be treated harshly, i didn't had much of a choice but to keep silent.
Right now 2 months after i left army, the complexion on my back is more or less smooth again... but a new problem surfaced.... and of all regions on my body, it has to be the face. Right now i'm experiening dry and flaky facial complexion, showing red blemishes all the time. And somehow now, the flaky thingy has started to spread to my neck. It's really embaressing to meet ppl like this.... but i couldn't find a way to make it go down or go away. I just feel like i really have no "face" to meet ppl. :o(
Hopefully once i'm done settling debts, that i would have enough to seek treatment for this. Dammit... i really can't live with this for the rest of my life!
