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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

LMBO @10&26 but don't worry OP, one day i was washing my face thinking how it would suck to be one of those poor, acne-ridden teens. then i realized i WAS one of those poor acne-ridden teens. ps, Proactiv works, but it has to get worse before it actually gets better. which sucks big time. and if you're a girl, i would definetly recommend Bare Naturals or any kind of mineral make-up.

go to the dermatologist so they can prescribe you epiduo.and some foods my dermatologist said can make acne flare are chocolates,nuts/peanut butter,caffeine,cola, and milk because of all the extra hormones that they put in cows to produce more milk.but organic hormone free milk is ok.

My parents do this to me all the time. Nice to know I'm not the only one out there. But just to make things worse they threaten to ground me and call me a lier because they refuse to except that off the shelf products and random " remedies" are not working but insist that it's just me being lazy and not washing my face when in reality I was my face 3 times a day at minimum

I feel your pain. It's like people don't realize that you know you have acne and they have to point it out for you. -_-

Go see a dermatologist. These things aren't a problem to fix these days
