小病在身邊 6 : 來龍去脈

Previous Post :小病在身邊 5 : 青春而長痘 長痘而青春

After writing five posts in Chinese, I decided to continue writing this series in English.

After graduating from my Chinese secondary school, I have been living in multi-racial community around 7 years. I have friends from different races and different background. Not much of them understand Chinese. 

Other than blog, I also do some short updates on Instagram.
I wrote the captions in Chinese and I start receiving messages from my friends who cannot read Chinese asking if I am okay.
I appreciate every heartwarming message by them and I would like to keep my status updated to all people around me who really care about me, so I decided to write in English.

The problem is I am poor at writing, especially English.
Please do correct me (comment below) if I am wrong (misuse the language, grammar, etc.).
Let me know so that I can improve my English.


Why am I seeing a university clinic letter on Yi Han's Instagram?
Is there any thing happened to Yi Han?
Is she okay?

These are the questions that pop up in your minds when you see my Instagram update, am I right?
It is actually a post telling everyone that

The nearly two-month observant period in USM clinic has came to the end.
I will bring along all the wishes to find the truth bravely.
I am fine, don't have to personal message me.  
If there is anything, my fingers will not stay quiet from reporting.

What happened?

There were 2-3 lumps under right my chin and neck.
It was not the first time, but it was the worst on May 2017.
I could not remembered when was the first time, because I thought it was just acne like my face.
It came, I put on medicine, and it disappeared. This cycle has kept repeating for at least 4 years.

At first, I thought it was me being too lazy to put on skincare and I started to be 'hardworking' to have skincare on my neck too (which supposed to be. Always remember the neck when we put skincare on our face.).

Next, I thought it was due to the oily hair cream and I decided not to use any hair cream although I have frizzy and curly hair.

Then, I thought it was due to my hair. I used to jog around almost everyday. The weather was hot. I made my own conclusion that I am not suitable to have long hair because I could not even take care of the hygiene. Whenever the 'acne' grew, I cut my hair. Even though my boyfriend at that time disagree on me to have pixie hairstyle, I insisted. Having a pixie hairstyle does not mean that I am Lesbian ( I am not opposed to same sex relationship) nor masculine attitude. I understand that boys like their girlfriends to have feminine hairstyle, but I just wanted to get rid of the 'acne'.  

The same thing happened to my ear.
I thought it was just hygiene problem.
When I broke up with my boyfriend, I cried almost every night and the tears went into my ears.
After few months, I stopped that, but it still happened.

In the early 2017, I was very busy organising event that I lost myself.
Averagely, I slept 4 hours a day and I have no time to get myself a mask.
It was normal that I have bad skin at that time.
On May 2017, I started to take really good care of myself.
I used top recommended skin products for my skin type and tied my hair up all the times (even at sleeping time).
The result was really upset and felt my efforts had been in vain.

I went to visit USM clinic. The visits experience was updated on the previous posts.
The conclusion from the previous posts was the 'acne' shrink but I still can feel the lumps.
On 19 May 2017, the doctor wrote a letter for me to bring the case to Penang General Hospital.

20 July 2017 | Visit to Penang General Hospital


I woke up early in the morning to start my GH journey.
It was not my first time visiting GH, but it was my first time visiting GH alone. **yahoo~ level up~**

First, I went to OPD clinic.
The doctor was Chinese, studying abroad and returned Malaysia for service.
It was a less than 5 minutes meeting, but he talked a lot.
There was nothing in my ear, so the thing to cure is the 'acne' on my chin and neck.
The doctor could not see anything there, but he touched and felt the lump.
He sent me to Jabatan Pergigian.

When I reached the clinic, it was stated Jabatan Bedah Mulut.
HHHMMMMMM.... 'Bedah Mulut' really scared me.
I was given specialist (unlike ortho department that I visit different specialist for each visit).
 X-ray of my mouth was taken and need to wait for the results.
The next appointment will be next month.

This GH trip ends around 10.30 a.m.
It took me 3 hours to go through 3 department.
Speedy process.


Here's the end of the update.
Hope it answers your curiosity.
Thank you for your well wishes.
Stay tuned for the next update. <3

小病在身邊 5 : 青春而長痘 長痘而青春

上一章:小病在身邊 4 : 口罩女孩

2017 年 7 月 19 日 | 第五次复诊

5月11日第一次挂诊至今已经超过两个月。
脸上的痘痘已经明显退去,剩下一些痘疤。
这帖文就与大家分享我这两个月所面对的自己吧~



5月31日前后那几日,是最严重的阶段。
伤口红肿、留血水、身体缺水,夜间还抱着水壶灌水,伤口疼得难以入睡。
那段期间,恰巧是温习周。
我在家里住了大约三天后,伤口开始发作,我就回去宿舍了。
温习周到考试期间,我都减少外出。
午餐、晚餐,都是外带回宿舍食用,尽量不在公共场合呆太久,免得吓着了别人,也免了善心人士向我介绍护肤产品、护肤专家等,还要被我婉拒。





痘痘问题缠绕我多年,
诊所的医生们都喜欢说:小女孩、年轻人,有青春痘很正常,有青春痘才证明你年轻啊~ 青春期过了就没事了;
菜市、咖啡店等公共场合遇到叔叔阿姨就喜欢介绍民间疗法;
遇到同学朋友就喜欢给我介绍昂贵的护肤专家、护肤产品;
可是当中的苦,只有自己知。。。

难得有医生愿意诊治它,心里真的很兴奋、很感恩。

其实这次的治疗,痘痘是其次。
最主要的还是脖子上和下巴的囊肿。
虽然经消退许多,可是那小硬块迟迟不愿离去。
原以为今天也是个去复诊拿药的日子,可是医生却作了另一个决定。


医生本来要我去Bertam,大学的另一个诊所,接受样品采集来进行化验。
可惜路途太遥远,我只好请医生为我写推荐信去中央医院。

那我在中央医院发生了什么事情呢?
请留守接下来的帖子咯~

下一章:小病在身邊 3 : 驚人的飲水量


2016 年 6 月 22 日 | 第三次覆诊
這些日子還有一些小腫囊不斷冒出,至少沒有前些日子那麼難堪。
最近烈日當空,曬得傷口有些疼,只好戴上口罩。
考完試後的第一次復診。
診所特別少病人,登記手續還沒辦好就已經被叫號。
醫生說情況樂觀,在我離開的時候,醫生還多次交代再給它多一段時日。

2016 年 7 月 6 日 | 第四次覆診
小腫囊少了很多,剩下頸部那頑固的舊患和左臉頰昨晚剛冒出的新囊腫。
臉上的痘痘也少了,留下了不少痘疤。
中午十二點去掛診碰釘子。
太多病人去掛我主治醫生的號,結果那男護士要我轉換醫生。
我不依,只好下午兩點再去試一試運氣。
終於見到醫生了,交代了近況,繼續同樣的藥方。
醫生說,現在開始步入黃金時期。
根治與否,就看這關鍵期了。
