My keloid

Amongst all the person that I know, I have the biggest Keloid. What's Keloid? Derived from the Greek word chele (meaning crab claw), refers to the way in which lesions grow laterally from an original scar into normal tissue.

I got my keloid from my BCG scar. Nasib baik luka-luka masa tertoreh jari dengan pisau & di lutut akibat jatuh main kejar-kejar tak jadi keloid jugak. Klu tak haru juga. Da la I ni perempuan you. Tak cantik tak apa tapi klu keloid di sana sini, sedih juga... Alhamdullillah ada 1 aje & boleh disorokkan dari tontonan umum.

Usually Keloid is hereditary. But I have no family history so far. Or do I? Anyway, not that I know of. Based on my reading, orang yang ada keloid are mostly African, Hispanic or Chinese.

Keloid ni mungkin disebabkan nurse tersalah tempat cucuk my BCG (yeah its location memang nampak pelik) or because I can't stop scratching tempat yang dah diinject tu.

For your info, those with keloid biasanya is advised not to undergo any surgery unless they really have to and the doctor must be informed about it. Bertindik pon ada certain orang yang kena keloid tak boleh. I mmg teringin sangat nak pakai subang tapi apakan daya.. nk kena jerkah dengan mak klu pandai2 tindik?

This is what ear keloids look like. Walaupon kelihatan lebih besar, the second keloid is easier to remove because it's not attached to the face & oleh itu hanya melibatkan sedikit sahaja bahagian kulit asal. Kalau melibatkan kawasan kulit yang luas, most probably keloid yg dibuang akan tumbuh semula dan menjadi lebih besar. Scary isn't it?

My keloid looks like this ... Berbentuk bunga cacat & measure 4 x 5.5 cm. Haha.. besar tak? Senanglah nak cam I kalau macam tu kan. Huhu.. Tapi gua tak pakai sleeveless beb.

Keloid I ni mula membesar since I reach puberty and the growth stopped when I stopped growing. Mungkin dia menjadi-jadi because I ate too much injected chicken when I was at the boarding school. Menurut kata setengah pakar perubatan ayam inject ni bisa.. & bisa itulah yang menjadi makanan kepada keloid ni & menyebabkan ia membesar dengan sihatnya.

Segalanya Bermula

Just right before we got married, we made a pact to wait for 6 months before trying to conceive.

But after about 2 months we thought we'd just give it a go.

1 or 2 months after that, my period got very odd. Keluar dengan sangat sedikit dan brownish from start to finish. Although period keluar selama hampir seminggu tapi setiap hari terlalu sedikit that only panty liners ought to be sufficient.

I went to see a doctor. She scanned my belly and beritahu I may be pregnant tapi tak nampak lagi. Might be due to implantation bleeding bila telur yang telah disenyawakan nak menempel ke dinding rahim, jadi keluar lah sedikit darah due to the drilling. Macam nak sangkut gambar ke dinding, bila dinding kene drill keluarlah serpihan simen. Something like that. During that time, I pon suspect that I was pregnant because my sense of smell tiba-tiba menjadi sangat power, kepala pening, badan angin-angin dan rasa penat sangat.

Next month period keluar lagi and punah harapan. I suspected that I had chemical pregnancy which means very early miscarriage. I got a bit sad thinking about it. Biasalah perempuan suka syak bukan-bukan. Create a story into my head and get emotional about it.

Since I got married, my period got very odd. Sometimes sikit, sometimes normal flow, sometimes sebulan 2 kali. I wonder why. One kakak told me that biasalah tu... ada bendasing masuk dalam badan kita kan. Again, fikir bukan-bukan, I think it's due to my aging. 27 is already old no? I should've married latest by 24 years old. My friends who got married @ 23/24 was able to conceive within 6 months the most. Or may be the problem started when we made the pact?
