Today, I finally came home from a semester of college, and all my parents and sister can talk about is how bad my acne has gotten. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Today, I was talking to my parents when all of a sudden my dad started freaking out and asking my mom how I got this really bad allergy on my face. My mom just laughed, and then I had to explain to him that it was just my acne. The worst part is that he was dead serious the whole time. FML
Today, while talking about my plans for college, I was interrupted so my family could discuss my brother's zit. FML
Today, I found out that the acne under my arms was worse then the severe acne on my face. FML
Today, I finally saw a dermatologist due to my unusually severe acne. Now I know I actually have a rare disorder that makes me allergic to my own acne. FML
Today, the pimples on my face are finally clearing up. They seem to have migrated to my ass. FML
Today, I walked into the dining room to find my mom popping pimples on my dad's back. FML
Today, I had to meet my mother. Being a college student, I decided I was too lazy to shave this morning. She noticed the stubble on my face, and started crying because I'm growing up. I'm 23 years-old. My dad yelled at me for making my mom cry. FML
Today, I realized my acne is so bad that the Facebook face recognition could recognize all of my friends in a group photo except me. FML
Today, I woke up with my eye swollen half shut. To spare the embarrassment, I asked my mom if I could stay home from school. She said no, but also attempted to make me feel better by saying that with my eye, my acne was unnoticeable. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well that sucks. I'm sorry that's all they care about, maybe go hang with other family or friends until they realize is not that big of a deal

I'm sorry man. I had cystic acne a few years ago. I finally had to use acutane, so I haven't had a pimple in years now, though my skin is always dry. I feel your pain... -Ty

FYL I know what thatt's like. I'm 21. My acne is loads better since I started on isotretinoin, but I had it very badly for a couple of years while I tried all kinds of useless treatments. It was so bad that it was really painful at times. It had such a huge negative impact on my life, even though I am surpised how much In managed to block it out; if I had let myself appreciate just how bad it was, it wouldn't have been bearable... it was kind of a subconsicous destructive influence as well as a conscious one of not wanting to go out, not wanting anyone to see my disgusting face. My parents and family, as well as random strangers said some hurtful/annoying things. You definitely become " leper", you feel like no one wants to touch you and they probably don't. You are constantly worrying about getting new breakouts and hoping vainly it will begin to clear up. Seriously don't delay, get the isotretinoin treatment. It may be a pain, especially if you are a woman, cos you have to take very stringent precautions to ensure that you don't get pregnant whilst taking the medication or your baby will either miscarry or have very severe birth defects...but really how many people with severe acne have many sexual opportunities. XD Now I hope I can have some in the near future...it makes such a difference...it gives you your life back.... your face is so important for social communication it cannot be underestimated. Good luck.

1. Stop complaining. 2. Understand that your parents and sister are not trying to be mean, they're just worried. It's not normal for acne to get worse after puberty - very often, it's a sign of a more serious health problem 2. Make an appointment with a dermatologist. The doctor should be able to determine the cause of your acne and recommend a treatement that will actually work.
