Today, I woke up with a pimple on my eyelid. Not only is it impossible to cover up with makeup, I can't pop it either. Now I'll be spending the rest of the day trying not to blink. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I have a massive pimple right next to my eye. I can't even blink without hurting myself. There's also one on my thigh, so I can't move or sit down without hurting myself. And there's one below my armpit, so I can't move my arms without hurting myself. All I can say is, "Why me?" FML
Today, I discovered that, while not exactly probable, you can get pimples on your eyes that are only visible when you close said eye. I get them in all sorts of weird and uncomfortable places, but this takes the cake. How is that even possible? FML
Today, I found myself admiring my eyelids for being the only parts of my face not covered in acne. 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 have a gigantic zit inside my left nostril. Good news: no one can see it and no need for makeup on it. Bad news: my nose really itches, and I constantly feel like I'm about to sneeze it out like a foreign object. 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
Today, I broke my nose trying to pop a zit. FML
Today, I got a really bad sunburn. On my eyelids. Who knew blinking could be so painful? FML
Today, I got a hand cramp from popping zits on my face. FML
Today, I noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's okay by the end of the day you'll have broken some kind of guiness worded record for the longest held stare as well as creeped the shit out of everyone around you :)

Good idea! When in doubt, poke your eye with a needle.

That pimple on your eye lid is what is known as a "stye." I get them all the time. You do NOT want to pop it. It won't work. All you're doing by squeezing it is irritating it, making it bigger and redder. The way to get rid of a stye is to put a clean, wet compress, such as a wash cloth, paper towel, or tissue, on your eye. Through a process called, "osmosis" the infected puss in your tear gland will be absorbed into the wet compress. You should use a new compress for at least half an hour at a time and as often as needed. I've also heard that a used tea bag works best. I'm not sure if it works any "better" but I have tried it and it does seem to work as well.

Hot tea bag works best i think

I'm sorry, but osmosis is the movement of WATER along a concentration gradient, usually where the particles are unable to diffuse across the membrane, but said membrane is water permeable. Warm compresses may help, but it's not through the way that some misinformed individual told you. It can help improve circulation in the area; it is NOT going to magically draw pus out through your skin.

Not a pimple, don't touch it. Make sure to throw away old makeup, dispose of your old contacts and wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes. Styes are a buildup of bacteria, and they are annoying but harmless.

This site really needs a get over it button. OMG you got a pimple! Almost everyone has them at some point. It's part of life! GET OVER IT! Your life isn't ruined because you have a pimple! Geez

Wrap a hard-boiled egg in a paper towel and put in on it. It will stay warmer longer and help it go away faster.

Geez. The whole world should apologize for not being as flawless and confident as you. Maybe you should keep your ignorant comments hidden in the closet.

Most likely it's a infected eyelash or stye. Put a hot or warm green tea/ regular tea bag on your eye and it will go away very quickly after wards.

Srry but u deserved it. when they say wash ur face they mean all of it

OP could be washing all of their face. You can still get pimples even when you wash your face, you know.

I wash my face multiple times per day with prescribed facewash, and I still have acne. The only reason it's tolerable is because of the pill I take.
