I think the reason I hate comments so much is cause it reassures what you were hoping wasnt true. Like maybe its all in your head, only you see it, etc.
Someone else has probably said that though, just thinking aloud. What I dont get is why anyone would want to make a stranger feel like shit.
... I remember my dad saying once that he wouldn't eat with me at the table cause my skin disgusted him. And I went out on the patio to eat.
Oh my God! If my daddy ever said that to me I would SHATTER. My dad has told me, "no matter what your skin looks like, you'll always be beautiful". I luff him. 
Yes, random strangers can really piss you off with their insensitivity, but when it's people you know and love, and people who know you and love you - those people to spit out those insensitive, stupid remarks of ignorance, that's really the worst.

Just punch him in the face.

"dude what do you have on your face"

Nice he got what he deserved
Ive only had 2 times anyone has said anything about my skin, (people I know) randomers didnt tend to say anything.
The 1st time was 3/4 years ago, and I was annoying my mum for something to eat or sumthin like that cant remember, she wasnt in a gud mood and was talking to my cousin about something.
After the 2nd time I asked what we were having? she flipped and shouted 'fuck off you spotty bastard!'. (Remember no one mentioned anything about my skin before this, and they all respected me not to, and I was fine with the way I looked, not perfect but fine....)
I started crying ran into my room, not without shouting something, dunno what? but my cousin left (me mum asked her to) and she said she didnt mean it etc, but we all know the truth comes out either when you pissed, or pissed off. 
Ive never forgave her since, never will.
The 2nd time was around the same time, me and my best mate went round to do his sisters garden, litterly around the corner of mine/his house. it became dark so me and me mate packed in for the night and sat off in his sisters living room.
My mates mum comes round and starts talking, but after around 30/45 mins she comes out and says a summthin funny happened today, so she starts talkin, and its about this fella covered in acne all over his face, and shes laughing about it because of sumthin he done?
As soon as she heard herself say that, she said 'sorry about that Michael' (me).
I was like WTF?! who could anyone laugh about that, abviously doenst know whats it like, but when she mentioned my name, it was the worst because people just dont see the acne on me face, but when she said that everyone looked at me as if to say 'lets see'.
guys, it's probably your shower that's causing your acne. let me guess. i bet you're taking hot showers all the time because it feels great?!!!
it does feel great. but it's i believe one of the major causes of acne. that's why your acne never goes away is because you keep doing the same things...hot water all the time.
try to take pure cold water. trust me. my acne is getting better. guys, it will lessen your acne in days.
and also, who cares what that guy said. so what if you're pizza face. everybody got issues. it just so happens our skin is our issue.
i'm 19. a college student. practically no life. however, since i've started the cold water therapy, i think i can hit the parties once again.
i have scars too, but who cares? we care more about them that other people. beauty obsession is our problem which we need to solve.
holllla...

Hi, you using cold water? I thought that was bad for your skin, I use hot water (more warm really), but its prob not the water breaking most peoples skin (not me).
Ill try the cold water, just one question how long about does the changes take to notice? if ya know?
you will notice the results right after you get out of the shower. you need to take pure cold water. if you live like in a hot area, the coldest you can get. try taking a shower while taking a bath. or since you're a beginner and not used to cold water, your skin will have to adapt. take cold shower.
it feels great. if you take 10 to 20 minutes when you take regular showers, you do the same. except this time no hot water involved. just cold.
when you get out, your new pimples will feel dried up. your pussy pimple will "puss out" on their own. and you will feel like you just won a millin bucks. well it gets rid of depression. at least for me. that's why i'm so enthusiastic about telling people about this therapy.
ok. update!!!! i want to know if you're getting results. you won't lose anything anyways. it's free.!!!!
i hope you see results like i do. let's kick this acne out of our system.
btw, if your pea turns white (not yellowish or close to pure looking water), it means the cold water is working. i think it's helping you get your vitamins by putting cold on your head.
it always happens to me. gl!!!
hows this one:
one time @ a BBQ my girlfirend's ( of 5 years by the way) bestfriend's mom
told her look at your boyfriend he is ugly, his face is all greasy. you can do better.
then the mom proceeds to tell her about a nephew she had, to try to hook them up, cause you know im so ugly.
well guess what?
it worked
later that month she cheated on me with and left me for that acne free nephew.
awesome huh? all because:
"idont wash my face"
"im too cheap to buy proactive"
" i eat to much red meat"
" im a bad person on the inside"
" idont wash my face or shower"
all of those are quoted reasons "why" i have acne.
brokenhearted? sure.. for a short time.
I feel like a walking modern day leper.
Its gotten pretty bad.
I just recently got a new job.
when a person was asking who i was, a description a girl used
was...the one tall asian guy with all that shit acne on his face"
not knowing i was standing behind them.
" i was like thanks, im glad you remember me... you know ill make sure ill break out more often so you dont forget, cause acne is my favorite hobby. in fact im go home and start some new zits.
broken hearted? yeah. for a lil bit.
ive been treated like shit so long i think im dead inside.

Wow....just wow. No one deserves this crap. You don't know how angry I am right now after reading these. Stay strong man and don't take crap from anyone. People = sh*t.
Tough times don't last, tough people do. Remember that.
when I thought my shoulders looked good enough to finally wear a short sleeved shirt I got this comment:
"Wow, you have a lot of bug bites on your upper arm."
the worst part was that it was a genuine mistake.
and something else I hate is when i'm hanging out with my friends and they start saying "oh, so-and-so's skin is so bad, she looks terrible" and I just sit there awkwardly, looking away.
YES! I hate that. When I'm with people who talk about what they do for their "acne". I'm sorry but ONE PIMPLE THAT YOU GET LIKE ONCE A MONTH is not acne. It's a zit. And I'm sitting there hating it because I'm so afraid that they will ask me about what I do. And whatver I do ain't working...so it just sucks.
I don't think it was really mean, it's not actually... but it cuts deep in me when recently this kid (cousin of mine by the way haha) yeah... she innocently comment:
"what are those things on your face?" and I was like "uhm...err some stuff"
that's when I realize I can't say the word "acne" vocally... not that kiddo has an idea what they really are.
Then she ask again "will they eventually disappear?" and with a...
(sigh) + *wishful thinking*, pause, then... sadly smile at her and said "yes, they will"
oh drama, haha but really it hurts in a sense that...
1st question: made me realize that... am in a really bad condition and stop the self denial that am ok... 'coz am not, deeply am not and need to face the problem.
2nd question: yeah there's this sense of helplessness as to even yourself, basically... no one, not even a certified dermatologist have a clue how to answer her innocent question.
Some guy must have been bored doing his homework, as he drew a picture of my face and left it in his textbook, and handed it in by mistake. the next day we had a lesson, and the teacher was handing back our books that had been marked, and he held up the picture to the whole class, and laughed at it. the whole class burst out laughing, everyone was hysterical. to make it worse, i started crying like a loser, and people kept turning round and sniggering at me.thats gota be one of the worst moments in my life.
:hug
Here are a couple from a while ago before my derm cleared everything up that make me sad to this very day.
1. when I first started getting horrible acne (while using shitfuckshit proactive solution that doesn't work) my family visited my uncle who we never see and said, after looking at me, "Wow". Which isn't much but hurt me alot
2. my cousin said "why do you have zits all over your face". The word zit just sounds bad to begin with. He was 19 at the time..
And than there's those comment that people make, not about you in particular, but just about acne in general. Even though they're not talking about you it seems like they're just insulting you.
yeah bollywood, when it comes to social skills I to am not as good as everyone else. I've never had a serious girlfriend and i'm 18.
And for me, it's not that girls aren't interested as much as it's me thinking stuff like "she would never like me because of my face" or "I'd never be able to take off my shirt because of the scars". And than theres stuff like it's hard for me to keep eye contact, I wouldn't let the girl get close to my face because of how self-conscious I am, and a whole bunch more.
Fuck acne and the problems it brings.
Gahhh...
One time my "friend" said to me: "You should definitely use a good cleanser for your face. If you can't afford it, I can buy some for you!"
And I hate when people comment on how your acne is doing, like "oh, your face looks so clear today!"
I just want to slap some people.
Man this post forces you to dig deep into memories that I really stored away. haha.
This guy, Eddie, really liked me when we were teenages, but I never liked him. Well I guess we had a falling out and I did something that really pissed him off. So my "friend" jess told me that he had said "I never knew why I liked her anyways, not with those craters all over her face". Jerk
My older brothers friend used to ask me when am I getting those holes off my forehead. He was just an ass who loved being mean.
This one time in gym class I had a huge zit and the volleyball hit me and my face, popped it and it started bleeding. Now that was embaressing.
And this one isn't about me but it's still wicked horrible. My friend is a waitress down in DC and we were talking the other about acne and such. And she told me that she works with this petite asian girl, who she said was cute. Anyways, I guess someguy came into the resturant and asked something about that girl (i don't remember the situation). Anyways, my friend heard the manager said "it's the girl over there with the disgusting craters all over her face". THE MANAGER. He could have desribed her as the petite asian girl or just pointed her out. Ugh
PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID
and acne sucks
My Grandma told me, "Where do you expect your girlfriend to kiss you?"
She had said that in front of my Family. They all looked at me like they were waiting for me to respond. I was so uncomfortable and I left. I went outside for a walk.
As soon as I got home, I cried for like 1hour.
That really tore me up :/
I'll never forget that horrible day..
The WORST thing Ive ever been told about my Acne.
Another thing that made me almost cry is when my Little cousin said,"Ima draw a picture of you!"
When I looked at the drawing, she had drew spots all over my face. She saw how my Eyes got watery. Then she said,"Those are chicken pocks." She tried to hide that it was my Acne.
:/ I hate Acne. It ruins my life.
When reading all your comments I just feel so emotional for you all and angry.. Comparing to some of your situations i just don`t think that i deserve to say that what i have been trough was terrible..
I have been insulted by my older brother, classmate, in front of people .. but it isn`t just even close when any of your parents say horrible things to you about how you look with acne and what your friends say..(i guess they`re not your friends.)
i think that acne has made me stronger and better person.. lately no one really have said any shit about my acne but i have this thing which i can`t get rid of.. there`s have been those looks and when they don`t look in eyes but on your face..so now i barely can look in eyes of people i`m talking with because i don`t want to see again that they`re not looking in your eyes. But now i can go and do stuff that i wouldn`t do before when i had depression, and felt insulted even by smallest things. But now when i`ve had plenty of time to think i`m starting to love life, because it`s beautiful the way it is, remember that, all this is just making you stronger and a better person with more developed personality than those shallow people! 
I guess that now no one really says anything to me about my acne is because i`m trying to be serious when i go out in the people and when someone looks at me strangely i look at him with so intense look that he suddenly realizes that he is being rude and he is like "shit i better won`t stare at him or else..." i know i guess i`m a bit too protective..i`m even more protective for my family and my friends(don`t have much left anymore, because of depression i had) if before i was kinda embarrassed when i was like standing in bus stop or market with other person who had acne , or i would like never date a girl with acne because it would be so embarrassing like it would double your acne. but now i would go out with a girl with acne definitely because she knows what i`m going trough what i`ve been trough and i would definitely be a great support to her as much as she would be too me.. 
when i read comments here i realize that if i had this GF with same problem as i do and anyone would say anything mean about it or would insult her i would crush his face into floor. yeah as i said i`m really protective of my surroundings.. Remember don`t be distracted by other people, because you know that you are better person than they are and your problem will solve sooner or later!!! And most important is to LOVE LIFE! just wanted to let all this out..and say that you all are making the best society, think about it..!!!

God, I am really sorry for you my friend. That sounds horrible indeed.
I hate it as well, when my familiy comment on my acne... I mean they're not trying to be cruel or anything but... My mother commented on my skin the other day, and she was trying to be nice and all, saying how it'd had cleared up... but I just got so angry, or rather, annoyed... had to take a walk to chill my nerves. Kind of weird really...
Oh, and I've had a similar incident... I lived at a familiy in England, during a language travel. They had this little girl, no more then 3 years old, who was really nice and sweet. Though after a few days, she looked at me intensively and asked: "Why do you have thoes red spots all over your face? It looks like when my brother had chicken pox". And of course... she didn't know better... but by god, it did hurt a lot.
I think I posted on this thread a while back but something new came up so I thought I'd share it. It wasn't a mean comment, she meant well but sometimes those comments can be just as hurtful.
I was at the dentist a few days ago and I was lying on my back facing up at those horrible fluorescent lights, with 2 beautiful skinned dentists looking down at me, they were both very close to my face which of course made me nervous. Then one of them say's "Well that accutane did okay, huh?" Needless to say the next 30 minutes were extremely awkward for me....I was in shock and awe because I'd never spoken to this dentist before, let alone about taking accutane... I think she must have read it on my medical file or something but what the hell lady. Personal issue.
Do NOT pass go, do NOT collect 200 dollars.
I just wrote about this in another post, but here it is again:
When I was at my college graduation, my best friend's mother said to me "You used to be so pretty, what happened? You're ugly now!" She never even congratulated me on graduating-- all she noticed was my skin.
That hurt more than anything. I immediately felt like crying, and as soon as I left the graduation reception, I did.
I've had two instances that I can remember that I've felt really insulted about my acne. One was accidental (she didn't know), and one was a true insult.
The first one happened at a dance recital. My costume was sleevless and I was not able to put a shirt on over it because I had just gotten hair and makeup done (Thank goodness you couldn't really see my acne from on stage). But a little girl I babysit went to the same dance studio, so I went up to say hi. After talking for a little bit, she told me that I sure had a lot of ant bites on my shoulders. I quickly ended the convorsation and went back to the abandoned dressing room.
The second one happened inbetween dance classes. I had on the standard leotard that was required by the studio (spagetti strap, navy blue, low back >.<). Then, a girl in my class comes up to me and says "You sure have alot of zits!" I tried to be as calm as possible and not let it appear as if I was insulted. Thank goodness for a few of my friends. They stuck up for me and helped me get through it. I did end the day an emotional wreck, but I survived.
