Today I, my brother, sister and cousin went to a dermatologist, dr. Kun, at Senayan area. We had to take our queue number from 8 a.m. then come back for consultation/treatment at 11.30 a.m. We came at 12.30 p.m. today and met the friendly and brilliant dr. Kun. He explained all the misleads about skin problems.

After 15 years of having acne on my face, I finally know the main reason of having it. It's genetic. Not hormonal but genetic--sometimes hormones trigger the sebum production but everybody has hormones but not everyone has skin problem. So, the only way to heal it is by medical treatment.

There are some mistake on handling acne problems, and you must beware of it. Here are some tips:

1. Never touch, punch or burst any blackhead or pimple for it will leave a lifetime scar on skin.
2. Never do facial for it will only hurt and pierce your skin and cost you money for that.
3. Never trust any crap of Vitamin E or Chlorophyll can make skin problem get better.
4. Never trust such prohibition on eating certain kind of food to avoid acne.
5. Never lick your dry lips for it will only blacken it and makes the lips even dryer.
6. Never use cleansing foam with scrub on daily basis and when in treatment.
7. Never forget to apply sunblock when skin is being exposed to sun.
8. Pay attention to which doctoral title who takes care of your skin. Dermatologist is a SpKK.
9. Never blame any food such as peanuts, oily and spicy ones to cause pimples. It's the genes.
10. Drink more and more mineral water.

What makes this dermatologist special is that he doesn't recommend his patients to come often (check up in 4-6 months if necessary then not to come back if the skin already healed) or to do any facial treatment (which every other skin care center suggest us to do facial treatment every 3-4 weeks) and he frees us to consume any food we want.

And the price is very affordable. Consultation fee is IDR 250,000 and the medication ranged from IDR 40,000 - IDR 200,000, depends on our skin type. And the fact that the check ups are only 2x a year, it makes it so much cheaper than any other skin center in the town that I know. So, let's see in few months on my skin's healing progress. I'll update about this.
