Acne.org Products
Was working on the cash till. Some man and his son (about 6 years old) came onto my till to be served, while i was scanning the products i could hear his son going "ahhh get away, his got chicken pox, i dont want chickin pox", and his dad was like "shh shh", i just acted like i didnt hear, felt like shit for rest of day. And my acne isn't even that bad.
When I was in middle school, I had pretty bad acne. We had a swimming pool in our school and had to spend a few weeks in the pool as part of PE. I dreaded this. I could use cover up to cover my acne normally, but of course this would all wash off in the pool. One day, we had just gotten out and I was standing with my friend, who also had acne but not quite as bad as me. This girl named Heather walked over and started laughing. I asked what she was laughing at and she called me a "pizza face." Yep, the cliche and oh-so-unoriginal pizza face remark. I am now 24 and have never forgotten. But I do have some respite...she's really overweight 
"Rotting corpse"
In 8th grade. A boy said that, while behind him was his friend who also had acne (not as bad as mine though). I remember the boy starting to laugh, but when I looked at his friend he didn't even crack a smile or a smirk. His look was a bit apologetic and at the same time I could see that the comment hurt him too.
Another one was this autumn.
A guy who would usually try and ask me out (around 5-6 years older) during a festival tried to take my photo and i asked him not to. He was like: "Oh, I see, started puberty... It's temporary."
At that time I really wanted to hit him and then add a comment: "Good luck on trying to ask me out ever again." Also i found it slightly funny about his "started puberty" comment, because that meant that he was asking out a child a year and a half back. 
Other than those two I can't really remember any other comments about my acne.
Back in high school, there was a guy in my year who I'd never even spoken to, or given any reason for him to be nasty to me - but every time he saw me, he'd shake his head and say "f***, she's ugly". That was five years ago, and the sting still hasn't gone out of that memory.
I think the little kids are the meanest...haha. They have no idea what acne is...they don't understand it so they just blurt out the first thing they say. They have a pretty bad memory too...because apparently one week later (after you've explained to them what THAT is on your face), they ask you again!
I've heard the chicken pox one before too. I just go along with it. They're just little kids.
Heh, I feel like a piece of crap right at the moment. Walking out of a science lesson today, some cocky idiot from my class (who does have acne, but only mild) went up to my friend who was walking with me and said:
'Doesn't he (me) just make you vomit? his face is covered in acne it's disgusting'
My friend told him to shut up, but I am so depressed right now. I didn't think my acne was that bad, It's only bad around my chin, and what's worse, today I've gotten 2 new zits by my nose and 2 on my chin 
My male "aquaintence" and one of my girl friends sit together in LA class. He's a very observative person and said that she had sideburns. The girl and I jokingly told him not to look at her for a while, and he says to the girl about me, "Hey it's better than looking at him. It's like reading Braille."
Fucking annoying asshole.
This thread is so sad, there needs to be an acne education day or something, maybe people wouldn't say such dumb things.
I haven't actually had anyone say something bad about my skin to me, though there was this one 13yr old asshole who called me ugly whenever he saw me for like half a year in junior high. It might have been partly the acne, maybe also that I was awkward and nerdy at that age so I was an easy target. It really messed me up, for a long time I had a really hard time even talking to guys after that jerk, let alone get into a relationship. I'm hot now though so screw him

Hahaha :] I have seen people recently that made fun of me for my acne in middle school/high school, and I think it's funny that they look like shit now and I look better than before.....I'd rather be pretty with acne (that can be cured!) than ugly with clear skin ^.^
zit face.
what's that on your face?
no that's not a cold sore, that's just you breaking out! don't you know where to get cream for that?
get proactiv bitch
uh, are you bleeding? is that like a zit? it's all red
why do you wear all that makeup? you don't need to wear that makeup, i'm sure your acne isn't that bad.

I've heard the chicken pox one before too. I just go along with it. They're just little kids.
yeah lol i just let the kid make his/her own explanation and go with that.. Apparently i have gotten the chicken pox, gotten it from playing soccer and getting headbutted, fell down the stairs..
I've had a lot of people clear out of the blue walk up to me and ask me why I don't wash my face and get on acne treatment! If only they knew! The hardest things are what my father and relatives have said to me-my father saying he'd never dreamed he'd ever have a kid like me, I'd never be beautiful, and asking me if I don't realise how horrible it makes me look. He'd tell other people too and rant to them about how awful I look and how he can't understand it. (lol he never had a zit in his entire life.) For a lil girl that can be pretty rough-and growing up in a stage family where I can no longer perform because of it. Yeah acne can have some pretty deep scars. Sometimes, I just am gonna have to cry about the pain. But I intend to hold my head up too and hope and pursue life and love. And hopefully, knowing the pain in life will give me greater capacity for the beauty and love.
i remember every comment, it haunts me so
in 8th grade
some girl to a girl i was dating at the time: "that's your boyfriend? eww he'd be cute if he didn't have acne."
"why do you have all that acne?"
and 10th/11th grade
"why don't you wash your face?"
girl "is that a spiderbite?"
me "umm i guess"
guy "dude.. you know that is not a spider bite"
"what's up pizza face"
"oh no what happened to your face?"
when my dad still lived with me he said some pretty nasty things too. i know it was well-intentioned though, he had acne that was worse than mine when he was a kid. knowing that it's genetic.. i'm afraid to have any kids. i feel like no one should ever have to deal with acne, even the people who said mean things to me, and especially my child.
anyhow, luckily things have improved dramatically since just last year (i'm a senior now)
a buddy of mine had this said to him by an 8-year old boy a few years ago....
"Is that Chicken Pox on your face?"
I was standing right next to him when the kid said it and I could tell he was so embarrased but he laughed it off. I felt so bad for him. Had his acne not been worse than mine the kid prolly would have said that 2 me.
Once my friend was talking to me. Apparently, throughout the day, a pimple that had been merely a pimple, turned into a huge whitehead. Yuch. So he flat out told me to please pop it. My friend!
Other than that, people don't normally actually say things, but it's just the way someone with clear, perfect skin looks at you and immediately feels as if they're so much better than you.
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"
Wow! Such jerks!
I wouldn't say this was "mean't" to be mean, but it was the same thoughless comment others have heard -
We're on the phone. We ask each other -" is there anything you think would be helpful to the other, something you think would benifit them to know that maybe they're not aware of about themselves."
"You know, you should really wash your face. You could be SO pretty!"
(Gee, I wouldn't have ever known...wash my face...wait, you mean I have ACNE??) 
I started to cry.
"Awww, no. Don't cry! I just mean, like, when I had B.O. and my sister said I should wear deoderant..."
So, my acne is like B.O., and I don't have any idea what my face looks like...*sigh* 
Course, just to add insult to injury, we were doing a three way call, my "best friend" was also there, and she felt the need to then go tell a girl, who I couldn't stand and was always a jerk, what happened!
SO wrong.
