Today, I woke up to find that not only did the toothpaste I put on my pimple make it more noticable, but it made it worse. FML

Today, I had a large pimple on my temple. I decided to try the whole "put toothpaste on the zit to make it dry up" technique that all the magazines say to do. Not only is my pimple still there, but the toothpaste irritated my skin and my already large pimple now appears three times bigger. FML
Today, I was trying to apply some toothpaste on my pimple to help dry it out. My mum came from behind and hugged me, making me accidentally apply minty toothpaste into my right eye instead. FML
Today, while brushing my teeth half asleep, I stabbed myself in the eye with my toothbrush, toothpaste included. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom. As I looked in the mirror, I spotted a zit on my forehead. Keeping my toothbrush in my mouth, I quickly leaned in towards the mirror to pop the pimple, meanwhile lodging my toothbrush down my throat. I temporarily can't talk. FML
Today, whilst brushing my teeth, I fell asleep, poking myself in the eye with my toothbrush. FML
Today, while brushing my teeth, I applied the toothpaste to my toothbrush when a few bristles got caught on the lip of the tube and flung a glob of toothpaste into my eye. My eye is now bloodshot, but at least it's minty fresh. FML
Today, I found out that the acne under my arms was worse then the severe acne on my face. FML
Today, I popped a zit that had formed around an ingrown hair "down there". It popped with so much force, the pus hit me in the forehead. Still can't get the hair out. FML
Today, I discovered the effect the cream has that my mom gave me. It was for my acne and it worked, in a way. Instead of having a lot of little pimples, I now just have a few gigantic ones. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth in a rush before work. I squeezed the toothpaste tube too hard, and some of it it shot directly into my eye. I spent the next ten minutes half-blind, crying peppermint tears, and still somehow managed to be late. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Supposedly toothpaste dries it up, but it contains some chemicals that can irritate your skin.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... you must NOT use gel or colored toothpaste or it will make it WORSE. The white Colgate paste works wonders. You want to make sure you moisturize after you wash off the dried paste or your skin will just create extra oil to compensate.

well for one, you have to use a certain type of toothpaste. and two, you can't leave it on your skin overnight! you barely should have it on for more than 10 minutes!

dont worry op. it works for me but the chemicals may have irritated and aggrivated your skin,especially if you popped it and put it on broken skin. maybe try tea tree oil next time. Proactiv may work but it doesnt work for everyone, it didnt work for me and actually bleached my facewashers. If its hormonal acne, then the pill may help clear it up. things like excessive use of your phone and resting your face on your hand promotes bacterial growth and acne formation. Good luck
