Ndikhumbula izinto ezithile malunga nokufikisa ngokucacileyo, njengokucheba amakhwapha okokuqala ngelixa usapho lwam belinde ezantsi ngaphandle komonde phambi kohambo oluya eFlorida. Ndikhumbula umama endithetha ngokufaka itampon ngasemva komnyango wegumbi lokuhlambela, kuba ndala ukumngenisa. Kodwa, ngobomi bam, andizikhumbuli ii-zit zam zokuqala. Amachaphaza abomvu athe saa ebunzi nasesilevini ebesoloko eyinxalenye yobomi bam, njengophawu lokuzalwa olungqukuva olugqibeleleyo kwikona engaphakathi yeliso lam lasekunene. Ndihlala ndine-acne, kwaye ihlala imbi kakhulu. Okanye, ubuncinci, bendicinga ukuba kubi.

Kwiminyaka yam yeshumi elivisayo, ndazama yonke iirejimeni enokwenzeka, ukusuka kwiipads zeStridex ukuya eProactiv. Xa ndandineminyaka eyi-18, ndade ndaqinisekisa umama ukuba andivumele ndiye kuthintela inzala ukugcina i-zits zisecaleni. Kodwa akukho nto yakha yasebenza ixesha elide, kwaye ekugqibeleni, ndamkela nje i-acne njengenxalenye yam. Ndigcine isiseko se-hella, kwaye ndacinga ukuba iya kuhamba xa iihomoni zam zingaphambanisi.

Emva koko, ngenye imini, ndavuka ndaza ndabona ukuba ndineminyaka eyi-25 kwaye ndinesikhumba esirhabaxa. Kwaye bendidikiwe yiyo. Ke ndenze idinga no-Sejal Shah, MD, endimthathela ingqalelo ngoku u-godmother wam wesikhumba ngenxa yokuba wayengu-100% engekho-inkunzi yenkomo. “Ndiyagula kukuba namaqhakuva,” ndamxelela eofisini yakhe ngolo suku lokuqala. Uphendule wathi: "Ewe, ndingakunika umxholo. Kodwa ukuba ufuna nyani, ndingakunika isibulala-zintsholongwane." Ndajonga ugqirha olungile emehlweni ndathi, "Ndizosela iziyobisi, ndicela enkosi."
