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

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 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, 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

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

Best way to care for your skin is by eating good food. Eliminate sugar is the first, sodas candy etc. Nix them. Secondly, eat your veggies, seriously! Fresh cooked greens are so important. Thirdly, sweat. Exercise as much as is healthy. The rest is up to your hormones, but you're already regulating hormone function by eating good food and exercising. So it's a win/win. Good luck!

Damn puberty. I had acne too but it eventually went away. Be religious about facial cleansers and deff exfoliate.

retin a micro works wonders on acne and spots. see your dermatologist...

And that acid wash. Prescription products and advice from a dermatologist tends to work better.

Acne is as acne is. Accept it, and do your best. Also, don't pick at it.

Whatever you do, I know it's hard, but do not pop!! As a kid and teenager (10-19) I had shockingly bad acne. I mean seriously it was like someone attacked me and I was left with all these red splats all over my face. I got them on the tops of my arms too but I picked them and popped and now (26) I have little white scars all over the place!! I am still shy about my appearance now as people were very cruel to me. But now I have this lovely sallow soft skinned face. I see people who mocked me. They look filthy covered in cuts and dragging screaming kids around . Ha I say HA!

Sorry I can totally empathize with you. After countless dollars spent on prescriptions and OTC products, the only thing that worked for me was Bragg's raw organic apple cider vinegar used as a toner. Also I drink 2 tsp in water and raw honey twice a day! I wouldn't care if I was seen without makeup now! It works!!
