I was thinking, is acne anything like chicken pox?

lol random question.

 

worst experience i have had?

i was in my form class with all my friends sat around a table.

 

a kid from one of the younger years came in, and he was quite a lad. He was one of those guys that don't care about nothing.

He came up to me in front of all my friends and asked if i had xma...

and i was laughing and i was like what are you on about.

Then my mate said, george i think he means Acne.

 

Immediately i went silent.

 

It hit me so hard i felt depressed for a week just thinking about it.

Dont worry I get called pizza face all the time I feel the same. Im Jodie and Ive had acne for 2 years now and Im SICK of it. Ive tried EVERYTHING but they just wont go. Do you reconmend anything? Sometimes I feel that upset about what I look like I just wish I didnt have to go out side and face the world.

My little cousin asked my aunt what is that all over her face?

My aunt said its beauty spots

I no thats not to mean but when people ask u why u let ur skin get so bad and tell u to eat better etc =[

My fiance and I took his daughter out to lunch to tell her we were engaged and getting married in a few months. We went to explain how I would be moving in and everything. So, when we were done with the story, she just looked at me and had only two questions.

One - is your cat moving in too? Yes

Two - What are all of those spots all over your face? Uuh...gulp <wishing I would die right there>

She's nine...

Also, I started a new job a few months ago. For the interview when people met me, things were clear enough and of course I had on makeup, so no problems. My first day I had to go to work with a huge volcano on the side of my nose right next to my eye. There was no makeup in the world that would cover that huge, red bump with a nice spot of pus developing. It was really gross, and I couldn't even squeeze it because it was not fully to a head yet. So as I said hello to all of new coworkers they just stared. No one said anything, but of course it had to be right by my eye so it was quite noticable. It took a week and a half and then it was a scab for another week. Kill me now...

Two times stick out in my mind, One was when I was with a friend who is just too blunt sometimes and she said "girl, you're beautiful, but you HAVE GOT to do something about that acne" And then when my best friend would tease me about it, he doesn't mean anything by it but, you know, you still remember.

And then when you're babysitting, and the little kids say "what's on your face?". It can be sorta awkward.

"Dam Rich, Your breaking out."

Uh duh? no shit I can see myself.

no one said anything bad about it to me, I didn't know ppl would be so rude towards acne..most ppl don't care you even have it

most ppl don't care you even have it

I beg to differ. As long as I can remember all the girls I was interested in, always gave me that LOOK. The, "oh my god. ew!" Look.

Back on topic, I could really give at least 20, but I'll give the 3 or 4 most painful moments.

These were when I was working at Mcdonalds at around the age of 19.

Manager: "Only a mother could love a face like that!" She was saying it to the other grill workers right on the other side of the prep table, but it was an obvious insult.

Co-worker: "If I were burned in a fire, I still would look better than you"

Co-worker: "I thank god every night that I dont look as bad as you" (same guy/DOUCHEBAG)

After I turned 21, I went into the only bar that I liked, because I THOUGHT I was actually respected there. Upon entering, some drunk guy sitting there "damn, what happened to you get in a fire?"

I just ignored it and walked past and sat at the bar. The bar tender then asked "What happened to you?" I replied "what do you mean?" Her response was a circular motion with her finger around her face. "you get burned in a fire?" "No, its acne" "naaaaw, really what happened?" "SERIOUSLY, its acne!" I then ordered my beer and drank half, gave my money. and "accidentally" spilled the other half on the bar and left. I've never returned since.

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"

THEY SAY I MASTURBATE A LOT THAT IS WHY I AM HAVING ACNE AND MAKE FUN OF ME ALL THE TIME.

when i had it really really bad it was the looks that really killed me before i had it at shopping centres etc i didnt really notice people in a crowd but after i had it everyone seemed to look at you and stare other than that the worst thing that happened was i was serving customers and one had a small child that kept saying "what's wrong with his face mummy" and pointing at me i was embarresed and angry and pissed off for the rest of the day hehe.

I haven't really had anyone comment (to my face, or behind my back where I can hear) about my acne. Only thing anyone really told me was:

-Mom: "Are you using your prescriptions?"

-Me: "Yeah, of course."

-Mom: "Oh, don't look like it."

^^I'm like, um, yeah, thanks a lot mom!!!

-Friend: "You know your face is really shiny."

-Me: "Yeah, I know. It's my acne lotion I have on."

-Friend: "Oh, cool."

So yeah, not too bad.. nothing really (that I could hear anyways).. My mom, lil bro and lil sis would try to rub it in sometimes.. but just joking around.

It's nothing compared to what I used to joke on this kid back in middle school about though. Me and my best friend at the time were sitting 3 to a seat on the bus with another friend. Well, he had really bad acne.. So we used to joke on him sometimes ~> calling him Volcano Face and Crater Face .. Yes, a dickhead move.. but we was cool with him and he didnt take it to heart too much (I dont think so anyways).

Karma done bit me in the ass though, and I accept full responsibility for it. Hell, my friend all throughout high school had clean skin. Now his cheeks are just fucking horrible and riddled with acne. Looks like karma didn't forget about him either.

Several years ago I was working as a cashier and one day I had a huge red zit on my neck - you know, those really obvious painful ones that are just sticking out of your neck for everyone to see? Anyways, one of my co-workers (who was younger than me) asked me if it was a hicky and joked about it. Then the customer I was dealing with at checkout laughed about it to. I thought that was a little out of line, but whatever. That's the only thing I can remember. I don't think anyone else has ever made comments about it.

karma's a bitch. and it'll kick your ass when you're not lookin' aye.

Coming to think of it worst thing everyone ever said about me was when I was like 13 and just started getting it and my friend goes "Wow look your getting tonns of zits and stuff on your face?!" It was weird he just sounded fascinated but I think that would've killed me these days..

But back then i didn't give a shit about my acne and it didn't affect me at all so I was just like "uhh.. yea" Thing is I still can't make my mind up whether it's worse to not care about acne and not let it affect you at all (Which meaned I continued to eat bad and it got worse, used no products, etc)

Or to see it as a huge part of your life and use lots of pricy products and good diet to keep it under control but let it keep you in your room when it's bad etc..

Still can't make my mind up.. think I'd rather be the latter.. good job I am then

i have gotten pizza face a lot. my grandma said my face was very 'messy'. and when my 4 year old cousin came at christmas time all she did was point at my face and laught and say aha u have pimples. acne is a bitch but if those ppl wanna make comments like that then their stupid superficial faces should be slammed. and dont worry most of them probably have a really ugly mole or something else equally as gross somewhere else. and one day everyone in the world will have acne and it will become attractive. looks like we are just trendsetters!

Nobody ever said anything bad about my acne that bothered me. Only my consciousness...

I really hate it when kids ask me if I have chicken pox.

Also I applied for a cashier job within the store I already work in, and I was denied it only due to my appearance.

People associate it with being dirty, or un-hygenic.

This drove me crazy.

oh my looks like you lost your humanity long ago, misshapen remnant, i guess is the worst.. i wouldnt call myself not human anymore, maybe remnant..

hf life is glorious.. i am happy i have wow where no one gets to see me or will ever see me i hope

Some kids in elementary school would say "lets play 'connect the dots' with PrznKing's face"

assholes

Funny thing is now I'm clear and all of them have acne now.

"pimple face"

"dude you got so many pimples"

"why is your face so shiny"

"did you rub oil on your face?"

"you probably jerk off too much thats why your face looks like that"

"pimple nose"

i had to take a lot more bullshit over the years, breaks my heart that i see some assholes doing everything wrong, eating all the bad things, smoking, drinking, fucking every girl they meet, touching their face, putting shit on thier face, rubbing their dirty hands, staying up every night late... and so much shit yet still have clear skin... i try to stay away from everything bad, be a nice overall person and i get acne... if theres a god, he hates me! why even bring me on this fucking planet and fuck me over like this, i watch my diet, i quit smoking, i treat everyone good with respect and i try my best to be a good person... why am i being punished with this bullshit.

"you probably jerk off too much thats why your face looks like that"

LOL, I'm going to start using that.

I was in biology class in 10th grade, and I had 1 enormous zit (well among others on my face) but I had picked at it the night before so it was like the size of a quarter.

I was embarrassed enough, trying to position my hand over where the zit was... and then for SOME reason, my teacher decided to talk about the correct way to pop a zit during the middle of her lecture, and then the girl next to me discussed how putting alcohol on your zit after its popped will make it stop bleeding.

Awkward, awkward, awkward. I hung my head in shame for the rest of class. Extremely traumatizing for a teenager.

Hey guys...

For me..i think the meanest thing someone said to me was....ooo....it's like the moon!

That's really bad and i wanted to cry. lol..Those ppl without pimples in their lives don't know how we feel.....what the effects of acne do to us....(low self esteem)...

damn.

I feel for you...I don't smoke...I don't drink much...and I don't pick my face and I am definitely clean in my habits. YET...i have acne %^$%^&%^... sad.

I think God has his own reasons...

Maybe....the acne process will make u stronger, tougher?!....

That's what I think...or what i want to think..... patience is the key. -.-

ok try this one, a girl i was hooking up with was kinda trying to break it off with me or something and was like well "what do u think my flaws are" and I was like I dunno you have hooked up with most of my friends before and then she was like what do u think your flaws are and i was like Um I'm not as experienced as you? And shes like what about the corks? Some of you might not get that but I figured that the only thing it could mean is that when u look at a cork up close in a microscope u can see the individual cells and they kinda look like holes hence my face

Also in my middle school the urban jungle taht it was i happened to sit in a group of people that just made fun of each other all class. And this one black kid was like it looks like a war is goin on all over ur face? right then was probably the closest i ever came to crying over something someone said and im a man so thats saying something

I once went into a shop and brought a bar of chocolate and as I was paying for it the assistant said "you shouldnt really eat these as thats why you have spots" and pointed to my face ! I just said back " I dont need skincare advice from you" and she said " I was just saying" and I stomped off.
