American Actress Keke Palmer Opens Up About Her Struggles With Acne And POCS
Hey you guys, for some of you this may be TMI, but for me, my platform has always been used for things much greater than me. Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome has been attacking me from the inside out my entire life and I had no idea. My acne has been so bad that people in my field offered to pay for me to get it fixed. I tried EVERYTHING. I did Accutane TWICE. People say drink water, have a better diet, but I did all that, I ate all the ārightā things, my blood tests were fine. But it took ME taking a personal look into my family that has a history of diabetes and obesity, to understand what was ACTUALLY happening with me. And unfortunately, doctors are people and if you donāt ālook the partā they may not think thatās your problem. They may not even suggest it if you ālook healthyā whatever that means! I came to a doctor in tears once and all they offered was a measles vaccineā¦ Exactly.
Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Iām posting this to say that itās okay and we can help ourselves. My skin has made me sad many nights but I do not give up on myself. I know this is not me and my body has been looking for help. I do not have a medical degree but I did the research and took what I learned to a doctor and that led them to a proper diagnosis. Iām not saying trust web md for everything haha but what I am saying is no one can help us like we can help ourselves.
This especially makes me sad because my family struggled for years and no doctor could help them, they actually mislead them and just took their money. Itās only because of what my family sacrificed that allows me to even have the resources to share the information Iām sharing with you! Their fight out of poverty gave me a better life and I just want to share what I learn ??
The least harmful thing PCOS can bring is acne. To all the people struggling with this please know youāre not alone and that you are still so fucking fine! MY ACNE AINT NEVER STOPPED ME. But we donāt have accept this. Now I can really help KEKE! And I love her so itās ON.
Pray for me on this journey and I will pray for you too. Iām not afraid to show myself to the world and you shouldnāt be either ā¤ļø
