Girls with acne prone skin, we know your struggles. While you’re trying to keep it together, everybody around is always throwing bizarre to inane questions at you. In memory of all the times you’ve been asked about your acne, here’s a fun list of questions and responses on the things you’re tired of hearing...
- “What happened to your face?”
- “Are you taking too much stress ‘coz it’s showing on your skin”
- “Are you eating, right? You must be allergic to something”
- “Did you visit the dermat?”
- “Your face is so oily”
- “But why is it on your nose?”
- “Did you try toothpaste?”
“What happened to your face?”
Oh, nothing just went a little overboard with my red sketch pen drawing giant circles on my face.
“Are you taking too much stress ‘coz it’s showing on your skin”
Ya, you’re totally helping by reminding me of the obvious”
“Are you eating, right? You must be allergic to something”
It’s you—you, who I’m allergic to.
“Did you visit the dermat?”
Nah, just sitting here, watching my face turn into zit city.
“Your face is so oily”
What? Totally didn’t know that! Wanna fry some crispy chips on my face?
“But why is it on your nose?”
Oh, right—my zit should’ve taken permission from you before sitting there.
“Did you try toothpaste?”
Was just waiting for that miracle treatment to enter my life—‘coz the 1763587 acne medicines my derm gave me got nothing on your toothpaste, huh!
