Finally got home

Finally I got home. The long wait I had earlier was certainly excruciating. I just got to find another dermatologist as good as that one with a better schedule.
Anyhow, it’s good to know that I won’t need any expensive creams and stuff to heal by acne. I was given some pills to regulate my hormones and some soap to take care of the acne. During the check-up, I found out that I had blackheads on my back as well.
What are blackheads? well, these are pores of the skin which are clogged by solidified oil. Usually blackheads appear on the nose and cheeks but can also be seen on arms and back just like in my case.
From Wikipedia:
“A blackhead (medically known as an open comedo,[1] plural comedones)[2] is a yellow or blackish bump or plug on the skin. A blackhead is a type ofacne vulgaris. Contrary to the common belief that it is caused by poor hygiene, blackheads are caused by excess oils that have accumulated in thesebaceous gland’s duct.”
Apparently, these blackheads already existed before but I was not able to notice them. Anyhow, the derma removed those blackheads earlier.
