Well, heres the story. I got 3 nice huge pimples on my face about 3 weeks ago, about the same time I got expelled from school from breaking a kids nose. I went to juvie for a week, and now the investigation is pending.

So, i guess the acne was caused by the stress but I am relatively acne free. (I get a zit maybe every 6 months) Anywayz, I used everything and finally the zits went away, but they left three nice scars on my face. So, I looked up all the homemade remedies to remove scars. I tried lemon juice, cortizone, cocoa butter, neosporin; none of it work. So finally I took a piece of sand paper and pretty much scraped the shit out of my nose until the scars somewhat faded.

But, now I have a beautiful red nose that stings and is irritated like hell, and I can't get any sleep so I have dark circles under my eyes. Now, I would say I'm a relatively attractive person, but SHIT!!! This is ruining my love life. I've cancelled dates with my girlfriend 4 times and I keep my hands connected to my eyes anytime I walk down the hallways at school. I feel I'm shit out of luck and don't know what to do to relieve the redness without spending the money I don't have! :-(
 
Well, that was stupid. YOu should have left well enough alone. Scars like that will fade over time. Sand paper will only fuck up your nose. Instead of 3 small scars you could end up with one huge scar. Then you'll be all pretty huh?
 
Oh wonderful, where are we getting these noobs? A dealer that narcs his own underlings, a druggie or two and now a guy spending his copious free time in juvie and scraping off parts of his face only to cancel dates because of a red nose. Someone PLEASE tell this guy that any girl that only likes you for your appearance IS NOT worth having. :rofl:

Welcome to WTF.com, chief. Do stupid things (like sandpaper sensitive parts of your body) and get stupid responses. Guarteed. :thumbsup:
 
If only you'd engaged your brain before hand. I mean really, at what point did you sit down and say "hey, sand paper will work!" without thinking about the possible damage it would do to your skin?
 
Wikihow.com! I thought, 'hey, maybe these people know what they're talking about.' Oh and a response to you BadEvilWrong, some of us make mistakes. ALso, it's me who felt the need to cancel the date. So, I guess you can pull out the three fingers you seem to be sitting on and find another way to verbally attack me! Guarantee it won't work though :-(
 
You read on the internet that you could use sandpaper to remove scars? Son, not everything you read on the internet is real. Sometimes you have to say "stop, wait a minute. That can't be right."

Sandpaper would remove a scar by removing all of the tissue around and under it. Technically then it would work. Much like you could remove your hair by soaking it in gasoline and lighting it on fire. (Dear God, please don't do that. Or if you do please video tape it so the world can laugh.)
 
Oh Hilarious! Matter a fact, if you actually could read, there is this operation called dermabrasion with removes the top layer of tissue that forms to create a scar. If done within a certain amount of time from when the scar was first created, it is possible to completely remove the scar from said area. Therefore, sandpaper is a cheap adermabrasion tool! IDIOTS!
 
Here, let me do the Dermabrasion research for you, since it appears that you frequently engage in selective reading. From Wikipedia:

Dermabrasion is a cosmetic medical procedure in which the surface of the skin is removed by abrasion (sanding). It is used to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin. The procedure is very painful and usually requires a general anaesthetic or twilight anaesthesia, in which the patient is still partly conscious [1] Afterward, the skin is very red and raw-looking, and it takes several months for the skin to regrow and heal. Dermabrasion is useful for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars.

1. So yeah. Basically, you've pawnt yourself

2. Verbal attacks outside of B&T are against the rules of WTF.com. I'm just here to watch and laugh like hell if you do or say anything dumb. Right now, I'm having a hard time breathing.

3. You still haven't justified cancelling your dates simply because of a raw nose. One date? Perhaps. Four? Ridiculous. I could see it if you had chicken flu or something, but this? And you claim that it's ruining your love life as if your love life depends on your appearances. If that's the case, you're seriously doing something wrong.

4. In case you haven't read the rules and the moderators haven't warned you already, racism is not tolerated here and will result in a swift banning. Don't say that you weren't warned. ;)
 
Ahhh the wonders of self medication. Dermabrasion is done with special equipment under a doctors care. Not sand paper which is an industrial abrasive.

Retineic acid is frequently used to treat acne. It's diluted and a fairly weak acid to begin with. Using sandpaper for dermabrasion is a lot like using hydrochloric acid for acne treatment.

So again, that was just stupid. I mean really, you had 3 little scabs/scars/whatever and in your own admitted vanity you tried a number of home remedies and when they didn't work immediately you took SANDPAPER to your nose. Since that little episode you've canceled 4 dates. Now tell me that you wouldn't call that stupid if someone else had done it?

This really should have gone into burps and bloopers so you could have told the story and said "hahaha look how stupid I am" Learn to laugh at yourself. Then you'll find that your now blemished looks won't be so damned important.
 
You know what, it probably was stupid. But it's different when you've never had acne in you're entire life and all the sudden three huge ones come up. I didn't know what the hell to do!
 
Generally, you should just leave them be. Messing with them can leave actual scars. They look like little pits or craters in your face. They'll go away on their own after a day or two.
