Today, I went to see my dermatologist friend for a free consultation on my terrible acne. During my visit, she said I probably won't be getting any more pimples. Excited, I asked her how she could tell. She replied, "There's no more room for it." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I asked my dermatologist why my acne has been getting worse, despite following her directions and spending hundreds of dollars on medicine. She just shrugged and told me they can't actually cure my acne. However, they can prescribe me a bunch of stuff and hope one works. FML
Today, I had a lady come up to me in a store just to tell me how bad my acne was and what remedies I should use. I got so embarrassed, all I could say was, "OK" and, "Thank you" until she left me alone. FML
Today, the pimples on my face are finally clearing up. They seem to have migrated to my ass. FML
Today, I went to the doctor to ask what the weird white lump was on my back, and if it was cancer. He told me it was the biggest pimple he'd ever seen. FML
Today, I was talking with some friends and the girl I like. During a lull in the conversation, she looked at me and said, "Ugh, I really wanna pop your zits." FML
Today, I noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Today, I woke up early and went to the dermatologist's, only to have them tell me that the skin condition I have that causes big, white spots to appear is chronic and I can do nothing about it. But they did give me cream for a different skin condition they found. FML
Today, my dentist kept staring at me with a worried expression while working on me. Concerned that something was wrong with my teeth, I asked her what was the matter. She replied, "I'm not a dermatologist, but you should go to a doctor, I think you have staph." She was referring to my acne. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe she was trying to be funny? I do that to my friends sometimes.. guess that makes me incentive..
CyborgBanana 12
She was probably just kidding around, because that's what friends do sometimes.

Hopefully she went on to give you some good old roacutane.

lovely friend.. that would boost my self confidence..

Been there. It's bad, but hopefully as you get older, you'll grow out of it. With severe acne, a mild antibiotic and some sort of topical lotion should help. Maybe ask her about a similar treatment...?

33 yeah, sure that makes you incentive we will go with that...

Oh gosh... that's terrible, but hilarious. The friend was bitchy, but I'm sure she meant it in a loving way. One hopes, anyway...

Expand your face at a plastic surgeons so there's room. Problem solved

I'm not sure that's the solution she was looking for..

That's hilarious!

Obviously nobody saw my sarcasm, although I did laugh at that ^

66- your picture. your picture, oh my gosh. (imagine that in a voice that just hates that they love it(;) haha oh and I got your sarcasm, don't worry some people on this site can still spot sarcasm!

I hear bitches are also bitches as well. OP should look out for bitches.
Arrawyn 12
The way you're talking, pretty much everything's a bitch
aruam365 24
Judging by her having a friend who's a dermatologist, chances are she's an adult with acne. It could be a teenager, but to me it seems like an adult wrote this. Anyways, the 'friend' is a total bitch and I really dislike people who are mean to others without any provocation.

how unprofessional

Aw. I'm sorry. That sucks. Try washing your face more. But only once a day.
happle 21
That could potentially make it worse. I have some cream called Clearasil that dries out the skin to make the pimple pop naturally.
MarisaCB 16
I hate people who think that those with acne are just SO unhygienic that if they just "washed their faces!" they'd be zit free. I battled acne for four years, and trust me, washing my face is not a miracle cure.
Arrawyn 12
Ya! Exactly. Acne actually a skin condition that doesn't just go away
maxmex13 7
39 - miracle cure is dishwashing soap, but don't use it too often
mrsmillsy 10
That does NOT work. I had heaps of pimples/acne all through high school, and it wasn't until I later went on the pill that they all went away. Which. Was. Amazing. Creams don't work.
kelissa_fml 16
What?? Birth control gets rid of acne??? :o

82 it sometimes does. it has different effects on different women!

54, thank you for your opinion. but stop making blanket statements based on your, and only your, experience and calling it fact. I got a cream and it worked wonders for me
pattipan 7
Thank you, No. 39. When I was in high school I washed my face at least 6 times a day but still got called a dirty pig and told that I needed to wash my face with soap and water as if I had never heard of soap and water. I never understood why people thought I was too stupid to wash my face. The rest of me was neat and clean and I was an honors student so it wasn't as though I were mentally deficient. Non-acne sufferers just don't get it. I washed and washed and washed and 10 minutes later my face was completely greased over and a fresh crop of pimples was making an appearance. It was miserable.

#94 - pretty sure you used the word fact, not me, sweetheart.

Just pour a spoonful of honey on your face and leave it on the acne parts. Do this until the pimples go away, worked for me :)

Just pop a bunch, then you'll have more room.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
Just fall on your face, Op. That should pop a good amount.
2ndSucks 15
Expect popping them only makes the problem worse. Then you have oil from your hands all over your face, as well as future acne scars.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
Not if you use coco butter.

14- *except. Sorry, had to be done.

Also possibly a worse infection and also depending on where you pop it on your face it might get infected, travel to your brain, and kill you. (or at least that's what I've been told). If you have such an urge just use bubble rap, never tried it but it should pop just as badly as it seems OP's pimples are.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
34) Thats why you wash your face first, pop the pimple(unless it isn't ready), then put alcohol on it.
mvems 13
Popping pimples spreads the infections Through other layers of your skin. Notice how when you pop one, more will occur around that infected area. Also you're adding more bacteria into the the already infected area, and as previously stated, popping and scarring come hand in hand.
ebdeadaccount 11
Yes but still if you do that when you pop it the bacteria inside your pimple would normally be pushed back in further causing a worse infection
SamanthaCassieL 10
How rude. I hope you two aren't that close anymore. No one deserves to hear that, and as a dr she should know its not your fault, it's a medical condition that needs treatment.. I'm sorry OP

Time for a facial explosion. BRING ME THE PROACTIV AND A SHIT LOAD OF TISSUE!

Well... At least it was free.

Yeah, imagine how much worse you'd feel if you'd have actually paid for that advice!

And worth every penny, apparently.

Society's definition of "professional" seems to lower every time I open FML.

Use the money you saved from not paying a dermatologist to go buy some acne cleanser
