When I was younger, more specifically a youngster, I was known as Acne King. And not without reason! With a visage that had scores of both black heads and white heads, I was a walking talking running advertisement for acne. If the scorn of my peers ( especially the girls) was one thing, the impossibility of getting rid of the ugly acne I had was another thing altogether.
The general myths about acne didn’t help. My family members firmly thought that acne was a result of poor (or more specifically, junk) diet. While it was true that I enjoyed the frequent dosage of junk food that the local area fast food joints dished out, I wasn’t too sure that dining out was the grounds for my acne. I mean, a number of my friends ate out with me, and what’s more, ate fast food even more frequently than I did. But they hardly had any acne. Something had to be wrong with the popular belief right? I had seen the myth being busted right before my eyes. Another associated myth was about chocolate. And since I loved chocolate in any form or shape, I would have found giving it up, even at the chance of remaining acne king, an abhorrent idea. But having read up and followed news and medical reports on the subject, I discovered to me relief that chocolate ingestion had what at all to do with acne.
My peers weren’t much of a help wither. The majority of my friends, hinted with obvious sarcasm, that my acne advertisement face was an effect of my frequent and constant masturbation. For a while, I believed this. Hey! Which hot-blooded, teenage male doesn’t indulge in masturbation at that point in life? But but then, observations told me that this too was an acne myth. For if my acne was linked to my masturbation, was I to finish that my male friends who had no acne at all did not masturbate? I would have easily believed that they were aliens! So, that was another acne myth busted.
Another myth that I did believe, and which sounded genuine and even scientific subsequently, related to the assumption that acne was an effect of dirt accumulation on the pores of my face. I never stopped to take into account that if that was the case, why wasn’t the skin on my arms and legs, which were more in contact with dirt and grime than any other place of my body, riddled with acne? In any event, I spent several days, weeks and months assiduously washing my face with all types of soaps and anti acne drugs in a bid to eradicate acne. To no effect. Finally, I also resorted to a fatalistic attitude and concluded that the more I stressed myself out looking at my acne, the more they would continue to remain. It was at that point that I gave up bothering about my acne filled face. And guess what? A number of years later, as I slowly grew out of my adolescence, the acne vanished on its own! Although there are still a few tell tale marks of my acne king days, my face is clear and radiant today.
