Have you ever been embarrassed? tell us the scenario and how you felt.

Yes, there was a time in my life when I was faced with a truth that used to embarrass me in many situations during my childhood. It happened at the time of my birth. My family found out I was diagnosed with Hemangioma on the 9th day after my birth. And it happened above my lips. Parents had no idea about this disease.

Hemangioma is a disease that occurs after the birth of a baby due to the formation of an extra blood vessel in the skin. A tumor is not cancerous, but as the child gets older, the area gradually grows. I was also diagnosed with Hemangioma after birth. After knowing this my father took me to doctor. And no doctor wanted to take the risk after knowing the details. Because the only treatment is surgery and laser treatment. And I was only 1 month old then, so the doctors decided that when I was 10-12 years old, they would be able to do the surgery.

Passing those 10-12 years was very difficult for me. Because when I learned that my lips were not like other kids, I felt bad. The worst part was when I was in school when other kids laughed at me. I was embarrassed to choose. I used to stay away from other classmates because of this situation. I was afraid to mix with someone. Because even then I didn't know when I would get rid of such embarrassment.

Do you think you deserve the embarrassment or it should have been someone else?

Not at all, because I was a victim of my fate. Hemangioma occurs in 10% of children worldwide. I can also try to adapt to my situation with other children. Because everyone used to look at this part of my upper lip in amazement. Many of my classmates' parents would ask my parents out of curiosity, and my parents would calm down and tell them to be patient.

But those who were my playmates at school or in the afternoon used to make fun of my lips which I never deserved. To say the least, I have passed through those times with great difficulty, which bound my childhood in an embarrassing state. My embarrassment was due to my fate which I had borne in childhood.

What have you done to avoid such a scenario from reoccurring?

In fact, I had only one way to prevent this situation and that was my surgery. When I was more than 12 years old, my father again started contacting doctors. And after doing various tests, they decided to do my surgery. And in the year 2010 I had an operation. However, as the treatment of this disease is not so advanced in Bangladesh, the doctors said that I will have to undergo two operations in 1 year.

Because to remove the Hemangioma part of my upper lip and shape it like a normal lip, a two-step operation is required. Even after my surgery, doctors can give 100% lip shape, but now my lip condition is better than the first condition. Which I don't have to read as embarrassingly as I did as a child.
