one time i washed my face with hydrochloric acid and another time i soaked my head in petrol and lit it on fire, it worked! i didnt have acne any more!!
hydrochloric acid...!? are you serious??!
so you're shocked about the hydrochloric acid, but the soaking his head in petrol and then setting it on fire part of his post doesnt seem unusual enough to warrant a mention? 
Kept a glycolic peel on for far too long and my skin crusted/browned/scabbed. I kept it on so long that parts of my face were quivering from how much it stung. A couple days later i peeled it all off so it was red and then went to a water park and didnt wear sunscreen. I have discoloration from it still... though it has faded drastically and still is. It has been a year since. I wish i never did it because i have a few indented scars from it that havent changed.
After that event I became desperate and depressed and went downhill psychologically for months; that was the hardest emotional time of my life, though that chemical peel incident did not solely cause it.
I had a cluster of active zits right above my eyebrows between my eyes. They were pissing me the hell off so I got my proactive peel that I had no clue how to use, squirted the liquid SA shit all over them, put the peel on and left it there for a while. When I finally peeled it off it ripped all the tops off of the all the zits, making them insanely raw, red, inflammed, and irritated, and made me break out there even more. It sucked, and the red marks for the after math were there for quite some time.
(I don't understand it either)
i was given some strong samples of something, maybe benzoyl peroxide? pretty hardcore. so i'd lather that stuff liberally all over my face and neck, 2 times a day. but after about a week, it burned so much that i'd only put it on when no one was around. so i could scream into a pillow cuz it hurt like a bitch for like 3 hours. which is weird, cuz i have a pretty high pain threshold. nothing ever hurt so much that i felt like screaming, not even broken bones.
so i called up a pharmacy, and i was like, i use this stuff but it makes me wanna rip my face off w/ my fingernails. what should i do? then she's like, um sir, that's only for spot treatment.
shoulda told my ass BEFORE i lathered it on huh?
Many years ago in the midst of a terrible bout with acne-induced depression I saw a latenight ad for the "Igia Ultra Clear Blemish Remover," which supposedly involved using a little battery powered wand to zap away your zits! Needless to say, $80 and two weeks later I got this strange European beauty device in the mail, and proceeded to start frying my nodular pimples hoping they would be vaporized or whatever was supposed to happen. You could adjust the level of electricity, so I always turned it up to high and pressed the metal tip on each zit, which actually stung pretty bad. I began to realize that it did absolutely nothing beyond aggravating the zits even further. I kept it up for a month, hoping for the advertised miracle, but all I was doing was making zits worse, spreading bacteria, and torturing my skin.
I later realized that in my zeal for the miracle, there was some tiny print on the instructions that tell you how it's only supposed to be used during facials to help exfoliate and loosen blackheads, i.e. it doesn't kill active zits.
That was definitely the dumbest thing I've ever done, but perhaps not the craziest...
