Today, I was complimented on my freckles. I don't actually have freckles, just a load of blackheads that won't go away. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized that the cute freckle I noticed a few weeks ago is actually a giant blackhead. FML
Today, I was romantically cuddling with my boyfriend. He looked deep into my eyes, stared lovingly at me, and said, "I never noticed, but you have the most adorable freckles on your face..." Blushing, I tilted my head to the side. He then said, "Oh, never mind, those are just your blackheads." FML
Today, I spent twenty minutes looking in the mirror trying to remove a blackhead from my chin. It was a freckle. FML
Today, I found myself admiring my eyelids for being the only parts of my face not covered in acne. FML
Today, I was complimented for having amazingly lifelike warts as part of my witch costume, and was asked how I achieved the effect so well. I didn't have the heart to admit they were just my pimples under green makeup. FML
Today, a friend of mine had a Wii party and made everyone into Miis. My Mii had freckles. I don't have freckles. When I commented on it, she said, "Well, there isn't a zit feature." FML
Today, my friends told me, "Don't worry about your bad acne. It kind of looks like the pattern the avatars have on their heads." FML
Today, I was with my boyfriend and I said that I was self-conscious of my acne. He told me that only one of my zits was noticeable and that it wasn't so bad. In fact he said it looked cool, like a bullet wound or something "awesome" like that. FML
Today, at work as an optician, I gave a little girl a new pair of glasses and asked her if she could see better with them. She replied, "Oh, yeah, you've got two big zits on your nose!" 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?

One man's blackhead is another man's freckle.

I had to reread this about 5 times because of the lack of punctuation.

I know what you mean about blackheads (I've got 3 other skin disorders to go with it), try a daily baking soda face wash with a dilute apple cider vinegar rinse (1 tbsp vinegar in 1 cup water) then rinse with plain cool water, I use the same as a hair wash and body wash. It's the only thing that doesn't make me break out in one rash or another. I've got enough different skin issues to delight a dermatologist, if only their crap actually worked. Avoiding artificial fragrances and industrial grade grease strippers is the only thing that has ever worked for me. The baking soda does the job of soap more gently and the vinegar restores the natural ph acid balance of the skin and hair. Other than that, jojoba oil or cold pressed hemp seed oil for a moisturiser where I get too dry and for the tips of my waist length hair. Good luck and ignoring the trolls starves the little bastards out pretty quick.

Hey, a compliment is still a compliment! Can't be too bad if someone actually thought they were freckles.

They can be freckles if you BELIEVE they are.

I always just apply a pressure where they are and push and let everything come out. Try that? Lol

That's actually happened to me, but someone said moles.
