“My story started in 2024, when I was in Class 9. I started developing pigmentation in the philtrum area. My mother thought it was because of sweat trapped inside my mask, so I went to a doctor. They prescribed some cream, and within two weeks, it got better. However, the same thing happened again after a few months, and once again, it improved with treatment.
Things got worse when I entered Class 10. My skin was completely fine at first, but after summer vacation, the pigmentation returned. I visited three or four dermatologists and tried different treatments, but nothing seemed to work. Meanwhile, I was constantly bullied because of my pigmentation, and my confidence completely shattered. I started hiding my face whenever I talked or walked, and I hated people pointing it out or asking me what had happened. I was so tired of explaining myself that I just wanted people to stop noticing. I cried almost every night and begged my mother not to send me to school.
My pigmentation kept getting better and worse, but it never completely disappeared. Somehow, I managed to pass Class 10 with good marks despite everything I went through. Now I'm in Class 11, and it's been more than a year, but the pigmentation is still there. Although it's much better than before, it's not completely gone, and it still makes me feel insecure every single day.
What hurts the most is that it improved within two weeks back in Class 9, so I don't understand why it hasn't completely healed this time. I'm honestly exhausted. Even now, I don't feel like going to school because of this insecurity. I just want to talk freely, walk confidently, and stop hiding my face all the time. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin again, but I'm just so tired of feeling this way. Honestly, I don't know what to do. Everything just feels so messed up”
