Acne.org Products
I remember in my early 20's I already had a lot of scarring. This older guy, a friend of my dads, started talking to me about my acne. I told him I was taking medication for acne. He said: "But you know, don't you, those
scars will NEVER GO AWAY! All the medicine WON'T take the scars away!"
Gee, thanks asshole for reminding me.
I'm starting this thread so people can put down what the meanist thing that was said to them concerning there acne. Here is a few of mine.
"You drink beer huh? That's why you got so many pimples"
"You look like a pizza" That is definatley a personal favorite
"Whats wrong with your face"
Do you take steriods?
Well, they say that because I'm semi-built and people who take steriods gain alot of acne sometimes on body parts
lets invent a needle shot that gives the person acne
we can inject them then they'll know how it feels like to have bad acne
haha
wow..i feel a lot better knowing im not the only 1...people used to call me mole face, crater face...and the worst..."it looks like ur face got shot with a shotgun"...and emabrassing is when a lil kid at a family bbq goes..."u got big red pimples on ur face"...i feel just like hanging myself...
No matter what, everyone will notice acne. I've excepted that. I've heard it all. This is my 5th year suffering from acne. I've heard I'm not eating the right foods, I'm not washing my face, and I've heard that I'm just plain dirty. And a few years ago a guy asked me if i smoked alot of drugs because my face looks sunk in from all the scars.
However, I can't let anyone kno that it bothers me, even tho i often cry at night because i feel like a monster or i just wish that I could be normal. Feeling sorry for yourself will not make you feel better. Even though i have absolutly no self confidence, I walk with my head held high and laugh at narrow-minded comments which people are going to always make, no matter who you are. I just try not to let it bother me too much even though it hurts my feelings so much. I'll think that, if i didnt have acne, i would be more atractive. I say fuck society! Who are they to say whats acceptable in a person and what is not! I may have acne, but I'm the same person, with or without. Just sometimes i feel jipped. When i was younger (before acne) i was always told that i could be a model someday. I think im still pretty, but i can't seem to look past the redness and the scars. my friends often tell me that they're jealous of my looks, but how could I believe them? And my boyfriend always gets mad at me because whenever he tells me that I'm beautiful, I look away and don't believe him. I just want self esteem.
after not meeting for some time, my buddy looked on at me with that 'what the **** happened to you' look, then he started asking me LOUDLY: what happened? Don't eat too much fried food! why didn't you come to class for so long? Is it because of your pimples? I felt like giving him a punch in the face, strangle him and kick him down the building
Kids asked me what happened to my face.
i was trying to avoid the sun because i had medicine on my face and my doc say to shy away from the sun, then one my friends told me why don't I wear a cap, i will look BETTER that way...
At those relative gatherings, my mum started discussing with my relatives on ways to get rid of acne(ok this is mean i felt like shouting at her, stop it!!! stop talking about my face in front of so many people, i was gonna burst out crying) 
hmm...
"frans an ugly bitch who needs clearisil" ... and i was always nice to her
"you liked that...thing? she has pimples all over her lips so when you kiss her, they pop. hahahaha." my friend kicked that guys ass for saying that
"you have oil all over your face...pimples too."
"ewwww pimples...zits...what happened?"
"see...i told you she has chicken pocks."
but now i;m clear. so fluck to all those hornbags.
It's pretty weird most people who don't have acne don't make fun of me but people who do have it tend to make fun of me (self-esteem issues) but you would think that since their going through the same thing you are they would know how it feels when someone is so cruel to you in public. Well at least you can throw it right back in their face.
my dad used to tell me to go wash my face right in front of my mom/family when he would pick me up on the weekends. i had always just finished washing too hoping hed notice.
of course when i got on medication every effin week his g/f *who is a really nice person btw* would always try to help me by sayin it looked better. but just the thought of someone looking at your face and noticing acne enough to comment on it if devastating.
my grandma always tries to blurt out how to fix it and picks at my damn face. i wanted to punch her in the face.
it really sucks when kids *like my dads g/fs 9yr old son* asks why i have those bumps on my face.
me and a friend were at a LAN party after i got enough udner control that i didnt look like i had a bad case of it. he would ALWAYS fucking catch the proactiv promos on TV when i was at his house and would be like "lets watch all these people with pimples all over their face and laugh at them"
if only thse people could get ONE signle breakout but nooo, they sleep on their face, pick at small pimples, shave upwards roughly, skip baths .... come out eprfectly fine [-(
omfg.....I didn't realize people could be this fucking cruel! Personally never got any cruel comments in my face, but can definetly relate to what one guy said about some people being more concerned about your skin than whats coming out of your mouth when your talking, it's the worst ever, even though I've never had a serious acne problem....it's still noticable
fuck these assholes
Where to start...
I had mild to moderate acne up until 9th grade, when the cystic acne began. I was passing out papers in my math class and some moron says "what the hell is wrong with your nose??!!" (which is where the cyst just happened to be, so I looked like rudolph with a huge bump). By this time I was so sick of people asking me about - mostly friends who were concerned - that I said to him quietly so no one else would hear, but in a very stern tone "if you mention anything again you'll be visiting the principal". He never said anything again.
My aunt used to have acne... hers was quite mild. She insisted that all I needed was tetracycline, because that's what helped her. And I told her that I had already been on tetra several times, in addition to many other antibiotics and topicals and none of them helped. She acted as if she knew what it was like to have severe acne and that it was so simple to treat. I was so frustrated and upset that I could hardly speak and I wanted to cry.
Although I know my dad was joking, it still hurt my feelings when I would eat anything sweet or greasy he would make a circle motion to his face. Meaning if I don't stop eating those things my skin will never get better. He was kidding, but it still hurt.
Now my acne is gone, but I'm stuck with scars. A friend once asked me what all those dents are on my face. How tactless.
I also was blessed with rosacea that causes my cheeks and chin to turn almost purple in color. After having had acne for 10 or so years (and luckily managing to control it), and then getting stuck with rosacea, I was sick of worrying about my skin. I didn't waste any time having Fotofacial (intense pulsed light) for my skin, which set me back a steep $2500. Now I'm considering Smoothbeam and/or needling for my scars.
Every time I bring up my skin my mom says "so many people have worse skin than you. You're never going to be happy with it, are you? What a waste of money. What's next?? I bet when you're older you're going to be one of those ladies that is constantly having plastic surgery. You'll never be happy." It makes me so upset and frustrated. She has no idea what it's like to live with skin like this. Today I mentioned that an improvement to my scars would help my self esteem, and she asked "what's wrong with your self esteem??" How naive.
Don't get me wrong, both of my parents are wonderful and loving people, but they have NO idea what it's like to worry about their skin CONSTANTLY.
Whew! It felt good to get that out finally!
damn so many!!! firstly i jus wanna point out that i used to have picture perfect skin- no pores, pimples anything!... but people constantly bullying me caused me to devleop many problems incl. compulsive skin picking, and the more they commented, the more i pickedd... wish they'd just shut the fuk up- they were the ones doing it!
