Today, while looking in the mirror at my full-blown grease-spewing acne-riddled face, my father came up behind me and said, "Don't worry son, I had acne like that when I was your age". I replied, "No you didn't", and his immediate response while laughing was, "No, I didn't." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I walked into the dining room to find my mom popping pimples on my dad's back. FML
Today, a little girl pointed to the acne on my face and said to her dad, "Look at how many mosquito bites she has on her face!" 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 Church, the little boy sitting behind me asked his mother if I had the chicken pox, because there were red dots all over my face. I've had bad acne since I was twelve. FML
Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream." FML
Today, I talked to my father for the first time in several years. I proudly told him that I have been attending Beauty School. He looked me up and down and said, "Doesn't look like you've learned much." FML
Today, I met some guys from my dad's workplace. They told him what a pretty daughter he had, to which he responded, "Nah, it's just shit-loads of makeup." FML
Today, man do I feel old. For the first time ever, a teen thug with more acne spots than brain cells told me to, “Piss off grandad.” Grandad? Guess I look older than I feel. FML
Today, I was washing my face like I normally do. My mom walked by as I was wiping my face and said "That's the washcloth I use to wipe my ass!" My dad and brothers are now only addressing me as "Assface." 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 ok OP. having acne at this age means you wont have it later in life, when it's probably more important. Also, that was interestingly descriptive o.o

Wow. Your dad is an asshole. I have faith that you'll be a better man than him.

Its called washing your hands before you touch your face, moisturiser, and acne cream

Wash your face 2-3 times per day, drink ALOT of water, use moisturizer & sunscreen (only oil-free), and get some Astringent from the drugstore. It helps a whole lot, I have acne too.

Scrub your face with steel wool, it worked wonders for me! Seriously though, trying a medication that some people say worked wonders for them just based on that alone is probably not going to end well. Everyone reacts differently, this is why there are so many doctors, to help with such things.

Definitely need proactiv.... Money back guarantee so it won't hurt any....

Proactiv only works on some skin types, not all. Bleach is also used in their products, which does more harm to your skin than good. My sister used it, she stopped for a while and her pimples came back ten times worse. Better using something that cures it rather than a temporary fix.

Roaccutane. It takes three to four months to work, but trust me, after that three to four months, you will not have on pimple on your body! There are side effects however and it's prescription only. But it's worth it!

Hey, I have acne too. But, that also means we won't get wrinkles as fast. So while people are looking 50 when their 40, we'll be looking 40.

How do you figgure that acne stretching your skin will prevent wrinkles? My brother in law had terrible acne and can easily pass for 50 at 35.

Go to the dermatologist and demand accutane it works wonders.
