"Whats that purple thing on your cheek?- thats not acne" - (I was wearing a concealer and that person asked me that in front of some people, including one friend who was with us)
"Why do you have so much acne on your face" (I had only 2,3 pimples that day I think, and a few red dots from previous acne)
"You have piece of tomato on your chin"- laugh* (I destroyed one acne that day before going out, because I was very nervous)
...and many more stupid questions from people who dont understand how it looks like to wake up every morning and spend too much time to prepare yourself to go out when your face look like shit.
In sixth grade, one of my "best friends" said my face looked like a Nestle Crunch bar.
Also, last summer I had what I call a hydra (a giant, nasty muthafugga with multiple heads) under my eye, and my boyfriend said, "That thing on your face is pretty gnarly." At first I wanted to bitch slap him SO HARD, but he never cares about my skin otherwise so I think he was just curious what had happened.
Brother #1: "Your cheek looks like raw hamburger meat."
Brother #2: "Your face looks terrible." I had not seen him for 2 years and this is the first thing he tells me. Then he keeps trying to touch my face.
The worst is my mom because I know she really wants to help but doesn't realize the things she says just hurt me so much. She has said:
"Let's go to the store and buy something for that purple mark on your face."
"Do you want me to buy you Proactiv? I will buy it if you want it."
"I wish I could take your pimples and put them on my face instead."
I have moved far far away from my parents and whenever I visit, the first thing my mom does is inspect my face. Sometimes this is worse than when she opens her mouth.
one time, we were all having a good time with my friends and theey drew a picture of me on the class board when the teacher wasn't in the room but then one bitch said that that drawing needed way more pimples on it and she went up there and drew dots all over the place
I would have socked the bitch in the face. Who the hell raises kids to be this mean?
Fucking redneck parents. I would have, but ima dude so i cant really hit herr.
There's this guy at work who always gets up close and personal when he talks to me. When I was breaking out early last year he would always come real close and I can see his eyes visually inspecting every inch of my face. He would make little comments like "what happened there?" or "you have acne man" like wtf?? Alright.. So now I have clear skin and still talk to this guy sometimes. He still comes up close but I have nothing to worry about. I still see his eyes inspecting my face and I even make it a point to stand under bright lights, but he keeps his mouth shut now about my "acne".
Probably my dad has said the worst things (to me directly at least), he has no real sympathy for insecurities people have, cos he is a dick.
One time i was just 'bantering' with him about something i cant remember, it was good natured but then all of a sudden he has a proper dig at me, ''you look like youve been in a car crash''. He said a few things like that a few years ago, he eased up now because i think he knows how bad my skin really is. But i never thought of him the same good way since.
"her face is like corroded"
-overheard- "Look at her face. and she still dare to like someone. Did she expect any guy would like her?"
When i go some store to buy things, i was just browsing the shelf close to the shelf which sells facial products, the salesgirl would immediately come and recommend things to me and even advice me on how to manage my acne.
When my friend accidentally brush upon my cheek, she let out a big EWWW in the middle of the class and wiped her hands immediately on her shirt.
When your classmates started to look at your direction and whoever was giving the lesson shooting a sympathetic look at u because the topic was about acne and purberty.
your parents was marvelling on how cute you looked when you are younger, den suddenly sighed and said "i dunno why u become like this when u grow older"
I dont recall any bad comments or maybe i just didnt want to remember but the one thing i did notice when my acne was really bad is when talking to someone they would be scratching their face at the exact same spot i had a zit at, i dont know if it was on purpose or subconsciously they did that but it made me feel so uneasy.

same here, people obviously boost their confidence like that...
he/she probably think: "Yeaaah, I can scratch myself on the place where he/she cant, I am so cool"
