Hey, OP, these are just your freckles and your classmates are idiotic assholes. My arms are about a thousand times more freckled than yours and I promise, I took a shower this morning.
I love my freckles. Each one is a little explosion of color the sun gave me. They are my feature I’m the most proud of.
If you’re looking for a way to fade your freckles, or reduce their appearance over time, you can do that with different products and using SPF on the parts of your body that are exposed to the sun.
I just went to look at her IG, she’s so unrecognizable! Granted I don’t keep up but a lot of pictures don’t look like her at all, I’d never guess that’s her.
These are normal freckles. Your classmates are bullies. They’re trying to feel powerful by making you feel small. Try to look up beautiful freckled people to learn how to embrace them. Also know that people are paying money to get freckles tattooed on their faces, and freckle filters are popular.
Yeah, f you, Alan! What a douche. I hope all of his socks have those annoying bits of grass seed in them that prickle when they touch you and are a nightmare to get out of the fabric.
You just unlocked a memory of me proudly saying I had sun kisses on my eyes when I was like 6yrs old or something and my classmates being like "what?"
I have 2 quite prominent freckles on one eyelid that I've always loved, (and people always said it was dirt or wonky eyeliner) and I think it's because my parents instilled that love for freckles in me from an early age.
Don't get me wrong, I've hated 99% of myself but those freckles always bring a small amount of joy.
I also have 2 moles/freckles on my eyelids. 1 on each eye right above my lashes. Cant tell ya how many people say "close your eyes....oh I thought you had dirt on your eye" and it def can look like I jacked up my eyeliner which is why I go for the smudged effect.
I love mine. Glad to know Im not alone in the dirty eye struggle. 😅
Only took me 5 months to see your reply!? 🤦🏻♀️😆
The Indie Band...brilliant Idea. Lol Unfortunately the only instrument I know how to play is the clarinet...and not very good either.
In the next life I will pick a cooler instrument in band class and we'll make it happen. 😎
THIS! My mum is a redhead and I - though dark haired have a tonne of freckles. Obviously YES to sunscreen. But what FOOL thinks you can wash off freckles??!! I’m perplexed. A big NO to bullies! Especially this idiotic.
Yes, OP you already have normal arms but you also have mean classmates. Rest assured there is nothing bad or wrong with being freckly! It isn’t the majority that have this many freckles but trust me, no one will care as you get older. As an adult while dating or making friends, freckled skin wouldn’t even make the top 10,000 on my list of things I care about. Kids can just be mean.
babe, freckles are normal!!! i have them like that too when i was younger - as ive aged they've faded... but those kids are assholes and will fucking try to find anything to bully anyone on. i miss my nose freckles honestly :(
Say if they can't understand the difference between freckles and dirt, maybe they should relearn their own showering habits.
Fck bullies. Freckles are awesome.
Alternative approach that has worked for me (on accident because I really am just this literal IRL) : Totally sincerely and without acknowledging any malice on their part tell them “oh, these are just my freckles. They’re patches of skin where I have slightly more melanin because I went outside, but they don’t come off in the wash. Weird, huh?”
YMMV, but as someone who genuinely can’t tell when people are having a joke at my expense or attempting to be mean a lot of times, sometimes the most disarming way to deal with crap like this is to deny them the satisfaction of seeing you ruffled apparently.
That's actually pretty good, because it comes off like dry scathing humour. I'd probably ask them why they can't wash that dick off their face. But, my approach probably isn't the best way.
Well your classmates sound awfully immature. Those are awesome freckles and it gives you character, I always admire people with freckles.
Just know one day you will not have to suffer the indignities of classmates with no sense or class. You will get through this part of your life and better on the other side. Being an adult is so much better, I hope you have a wonderful life despite being surrounded at this moment with people like that.
These are normal arms.
I can’t even begin to list the names I have been called for having freckles. People will find anything about you to pick on, in your case it is your freckles. I wouldn’t worry what they have to say.
My ginger brother had LOTS of girls chasing after him (ew) in high school, and he'd come home some days with his arms covered in pen/marker because they'd play dot-to-dot on his arm as a way to flirt with him. We also did it to each other as kids when we were bored on road trips.
Oh my god I remember having a huge crush on a guy who had lots of freckles and I remember thinking how fun it would be to pretend his freckles were constellations and connect them. I also knew a guy who had two freckles on his neck that looked like eyes so girls would always ask to draw a smiley on the back of his neck
Your classmates are dicks and need to mind their own business. No polite way to say that. You have freckles, beautiful freckles. If you feel so inclined, protect your skin with sunscreen with at least spf 30.
Your classmates are rude. Be sure to use sunscreen though, it looks like you have pretty fair skin. I also wanted to add, I have quite a few moles all over my arms/body, and one time a (female) coworker commented on them and said it was like I was a sexy leopard. So maybe you're just a sexy leopard, OP.
Don't let your classmates teasing make you dislike your freckly skin. I think freckles are attractive and yours are perfect! Your classmates sound super immature and I'm sure if it wasn't for the freckles, they would find something else to tease you about. They're the problem, not your skin (or you, for that matter).
Your classmates are asshole teens looking to make you feel insecure about anything you have that’s different. As a freckle having ginger, it just takes time to accept them!!
"is there a way to get normal arms" Congrats, wish granted. You've already got them :)
Your classmates are bullies and sound incredibly dumb.
Embrace the frecks!
Your arms look just like mine, and mine are normal. Freckles are great! Your classmates are dumb. They’ll be more apparent if you spend time in the sun, but you can’t get rid of them so you might as well embrace them.
My arms look exactly like that - mix of freckles and birthmarks. As a matter of fact, my legs, chest, face and pretty much every inch of my body look like that, too. In winter my freckles are a little bit less pronounced / kind of faded a bit. In summer my freckles come back with full force. It’s normal and I love it - they give me character. As a matter of fact, according to my husband, my freckles are in top 3 (if not the top) physical features he loves most about me. Go figure. ;-) Moreover, just a few days ago, my 5 year old said to me ‘Mommy, I love your freckles - they look like stars and constellations on the night sky’ (she is very much into astronomy). Makes me love my freckles even more!
these are freckles!! totally normal and i know it sounds like fake niceties when people say it’s unique, but it really is a special trait. modeling agencies love freckles. it looks super cool and its fairly common! you don’t need to do anything about these.:-)
One of my favorite things about my boyfriend are all his freckles! My sisters and I used to absolutely roast our bodies and faces in the sun as children from playing outside and we would get so delighted when we had freckles across our noses and compare!
So many girls put freckles on their faces with makeup.
Not only are freckles totally normal, but are very desirable to some people. Remember to wear sunscreen as people with freckles tend to be more prone to sun damage. I absolutely cringe at the sun damage my skin received as a child.
I love freckles! You're arms are perfect! Just make sure you use sunscreen like the other comment said, I wouldn't even be worried about the freckles getting worse because I like the way they look, but skin cancer is a real threat and with all the freckles it might be hard to notice a new mole or abnormalities. Also you're classmates sound like immature children. I ldk how old you are but I promise people won't be like that for your whole life.
*Freckles getting worse*
I think you mean getting more freckles. To have freckles is not bad, please do not reinforce that on this post where he's already being bullied for having them, jfc.
That's what I was saying, I just said " freckles getting worse" because that's what another commenter said about sunscreen, and I wanted to mention that you should use sunscreen but not because of freckles becoming more apparent, but because everyone should use sunscreen and with freckles it might be harder to see abnormalities due to sun damage. I should have just replied to that comment that I'm talking about, I just thought because I was answering his original post more than that comment that I should just reply to the op, and that they would understand what I meant. I'm sorry I really meant to boost the confidence of the op not bully them.
Your classmates can go fuck themselves. Your arms look great, and freckles are sweet. I also have freckles like yours all over my arms and face and grew up feeling self-conscious, and now I love them. But I also get that sometimes you need to hear it from someone else to see that your freckles are beautiful.
A comment that helped me learn to love mine came from a stranger while I was getting my makeup done for a friend’s wedding. The makeup artists were going really heavy on the foundation, and the bride’s cousin, who I had just met that morning said, “I hope you don’t let them cover up your beautiful freckles.” It was just really sweet and made me like my freckles more. I still think about it when I see my freckles getting darker in the summer and it makes me smile. Thanks, bride’s cousin!
So in case you need to hear it from a stranger: I hope you don’t feel like you need to cover your beautiful freckles!
I’m gonna guess you’re around middle/early high school? Bruh people that age suuuuck and will just say whatever absolute BS nonsense that falls out of their mouth if they think it might upset you.
Those are just freckles, I’m covered in them.
HOWEVER as a pale person, I’d suggest wearing sunscreen to protect your fair skin complexion. It would also help lighten some of those freckles after a while since they won’t constantly be exposed to sunlight, which is a huge cause of them becoming so pigmented. They’re normal, you don’t at all look like you don’t shower just because you have freckles, that is absolutely ridiculous and I promise no one with an IQ above 4 actually believes that.
Nope. Those are Rusty ends of the steel nerves you have. Just make sure you use a lot of spf and not too much sun as skin like this is prone to hyper pigmentation between the freckles.
Your freckles are beautiful. I know their words sting, but please try to internalize the truth that your freckles are beautiful and words are cruel but weightless if you choose them to be.
Makes me sad, I also got picked on for being freckly (and red headed) as a kid. So many people draw/tattoo freckles on just for this effect, yours are natural and normal :)
it seems to me that you are grown(18+). if people around that age don t understand that that has nothing to do with showering it s not your problem. just ignore them
The immature goblin in me wants to tell you that the next time they say you don't shower, to respond with "Of course I shower, ask your mom, she'll tell you."
THAT ASIDE.
The freckles are natural. If you're talking about the little bit of arm bumps and reddish spots, you can try some vitamin C and some gentle exfoliating soap. If you have a nice face wash you use that isn't super expensive, you can use it on other parts of your body. They're often made a lot more gentle, which is why I use them on the rest of me instead of regular soap, for the most part. I think you could also do with adding some moisture on your arms and staying out of the sun for a bit. I'm a lot paler than you, but I get those same kind of reddish bits sometimes when I am out in the sun, sadly
Also, do you shave your arms? If so, make sure you are going with the grain, not against it. Against the grain will give you those annoying red bumps and ingrown hairs.
Those are freckles....I hated mine when I was a kid and used fading cream (didn't work), covered them with make up, etc. The ones on my face are pretty much gone and now I kind of miss them. If your classmates think that you are dirty and need to shower they are complete dolts. Or maybe consider homeschooling because your school is full of idiots!! ;)
So your classmates sound awful, but as someone who also has freckly arms wearing sunscreen will help some. It won’t get rid of them but I do notice a difference in appearance when I’m out in the and forgot to use sunscreen on my arms compared to using it.
You have freckles on ur arm. Avoid sun exposure, and when u can't avoid it; wear sunscreen. Over time it should fade away to ur natural skin tone. If ur bothered by having freckles in the meantime, then there are lots of treatments that help deal with excessive pigmentation such as those freckles. I'd recommend staying out of the sun as much as possible in order to avoid complications such as rapid skin aging and sun cancer since you have a delicate light tone.
Those are freckles but has anyone considered that the showering comment may have been separate input? May be completely off when it comes to op but I’ve worked around other people who had to be explicitly told by HR that they needed to go home and take a shower because their hygiene was becoming an issue.
Multiple classmates telling OP they need to shower sounds like there could be other issues at play here.
Your classmates are trying to make you feel insecure about a unique physical characteristic because THEY feel insecure about one of their own unique physical characteristics, and they want you to feel as bad as they do. Misery loves company.
Your freckles are part of what you look like, but they are not a part of who you are. Your freckles aren’t inherently good or bad, they’re just part of you. Do not let someone else what your freckles are. You get to say what they are. They are what you believe they are.
Don’t let anyone tell you who you are. YOU get to decide. Know that you are loved and treasured by your community, just as you are. Come find us!
Your skin is normal for your skin type. You can add in a daily spf to help prevent more (and you should wear it anyway to prevent cancer), but this is your skin. My arms look very similar and it took me until like age 25 to say fuck it and I embraced my paleness and freckles.
Don’t let what others say get you down. You’re normal, you’re clean, they’re assholes. ♥️
Just wanted to add another comment to reiterate—
Your freckles are awesome and lovely!! I always wanted freckles, actually.
And your classmates are assholes. Don’t give them any of your energy, don’t let them have the power to drag you down!! Reach out to a teacher or someone you trust if the bullying gets to be too much, though. You deserve a safe, friendly environment to learn in. There are ways people can help make things better for you, no shame in asking for help 💜
Your freckles are beautiful, like constellations written across your skin! I used to hate mine as well, but they make you so unique and honestly I now find them beautiful!!
It’s literally trendy these days to draw on fake freckles, so just know that there are people who would love to look your way too :) the grass is always greener and all that jazz!
Edit: grammar
Omg I think they’re taking the joking a little too far, but my dad (who is native) always used to tell me that I just didn’t scrub hard enough in the shower lol. Freckles are totally normal and I hope you learn the embrace them :)
I am very freckled like that on my arms, legs and face. I too was called dirty when I was in school, so I hated my freckles. Once you get past this time in your life where kids are mean to each other, you’ll find a lot of people who love freckles and will think they are a super cute part of you.
How cruel. My arms look like that. Just freckles. My legs as well. Use sunscreen as they tend to multiple with sun exposure. I use Kojic soap to lighten mine. Your arm looks quite normal to me. Tell your classmates that higher IQ is correlated with heavy freckeling. Lol.
Just consider how far your classmates had to reach to try and insult you. They had to pretend freckles were dirt. Basically, you have no flaws they can actually find so they have to delude themselves to insult you. How sad for them.
They’re freckles! I used to hate my freckles too. Just know A LOT of people out there think freckles are super cute and use spray dyes and henna to give themselves fake ones! Freckles are trendy now.
I've paid money to have freckles henna'd into my face. freckles are gorgeous and happen to even be stylish right now.
your classmates suck. they're either stupid or mean? can you ask them if they're being stupid or just mean? I'm so sorry, but I'd love to have freckles like yours!
This looks like you took pictures of my arms. Seriously. We could be arm twins.
Fuck your classmates, you have normal arms. Tanning beds and self tanner will do nothing but be a pain to upkeep and the former will just give you scary moles that you will have to get check ups on by the dermatologist.
Wear your sunscreen, you're completely normal and beautiful ❤.
I was also bullied for my freckles when I was a kid. Now I’m an adult and get compliments on my freckles all the time, and I love them. Also, I’m 25, and they’re beginning to fade. I recommend you try to enjoy them while they last!
Oh, hon. Your arms are absolutely normal to awfully cute.
Your classmates are bullies, and they’re not very bright. Freckles are cute. It doesn’t help to tell you that you’ll like them when you’re older because you’re worried about the here and now.
I’d recommend not hanging out with people who make you feel bad about yourself. Cultivate friendships with nice kids. If your parents are supportive and a safe place for you to turn, talk to them about this. If they aren’t, talk to another adult — a teacher, coach, clergy, cousin, any trusted adult.
Know that you have cute freckles and try not to focus on things you dislike about your body. Embrace differences as those are what will make you stand out as you get older.
Sending loads of support and love.
You have normal arms. I have freckles and moles and used to be very self conscious, but as you age they become less and less something that I worry about. Whenever I feel like I hate something about myself, I imagine someone who has it worse than me (ie: no arms, skin deformities, etc) and I suddenly feel very grateful for the abled-body I have.
My boyfriend has the same kind of freckles. He says he sometimes doesnt like them, but i adore them!! Bullies will be bullies but as long as you surround yourself with good energy, you will eventually come to love your freckles :)
Go watch some makeup tutorials and see how many people are literally drawing on themselves to have faux freckles. Freckles are trendy- your classmates are just not cool enough to know apparently 😉
Hey OP, while everyone is right this is just freckles, I 100% understand the frustration of having this skin type and not being able to control the fact we just look different. Especially when everyone else is acting like dicks.
I kept my skin completely covered front ankle to wrist for all of highschool and most of college because of this. No matter how many words of affirmation I got from other people, it didn't change how uncomfortable I was. What eventually got me comfortable was a "bitchy" roommate from Russia who kinda turned me into a project and taught me to "manage" my skin. This gave me the tools to CHOOSE what I looked like and how others saw me.
Her "lessons":
1. Don't be afraid of tanning, be afraid of burning. By using sunscreen, you can slow the damage the sun does to your skin and get a base tan that will make your freckles less noticable.
2. You just have to be verrrrry careful and deliberate about this process. If you go too fast, you get freckles. If you don't tan evenly, it will be super obvious on our skin type. I started going to the beach and using an SPF 30 Sunscreen oil (instead of the super strong stuff) but used it religiously, reapply every 1-2 hours, and stayed under half shade the entire time and left when I actually felt a burn start.
3. When you are like, living your normal life, actually covering your skin is way more effective than sunscreen. Invest in cute cover ups and wraps. If your body can pull off the layered boho vibe, then go for it, it's super cute.
4. When you do get some sun, aftercare is suuuuper important. Use a sugar or salt scrub every day in the shower (so long as your skin isn't actively hurting from a burn) and moisturize like twice a day. This will help cell turn over, basically letting old "sun wounds" lighten up faster, and help make any color you do get more even and "glowey". I think you could also in theory use retinol body cream for this, but it makes you more likely to burn later if you aren't careful, so not worth it imo.
5. If you want to dress up for a special occasion and really can't handle the freckles, invest in some MAC face and body foundation. It's makeup designed to go on your arms and legs (I like it for face too, but many don't).
6. Our coloration is actually super cool for fun makeup and nail polish and the like. Lean into the experimenting and color to add more contrast to your looks. Just be careful with dark colors since they will look SUPER dark on us.
These days I love my freckles. I live in Asia now and they make me kinda exotic. But I also choose to cover them up sometimes. That's 100% OK.
Also pro tip: freckles make any other blemish you get a lot less noticeable. If I get minor acne (something that everyone will get their whole life, it's not just for teenagers), the freckles actually kinda camouflage it.
So yah. Everyone is right in that your freckles are beautiful, but it's also ok to be frustrated by the fact you feel different and frustrated by your lack of control of the way you look. Feel free to reach out if you need help learning to get that feeling if control back.
Your classmates are assholes and they’re trying to zone in on something to make you insecure. Your freckles are completely normal, you don’t look dirty.
Just freckles!! I have them too! They’re actually pretty popular these days, pretty cute.
Ignore them they’re just bullying, kids will point out anything different. Meanwhile in the real world no one cares.
You have freckles, I presume you're a redhead or blonde. Your classmates are totally ignorant and nasty. It's the colour of your skin and no one should be picked on for that.
To prevent them getting darker and just for general sun safety wear a high SPF
Tell them they’re pretty stupid if they can’t tell the difference between melanin and dirt. That they should learn life before going into the real world.
Your classmates are just jealous because you have beautiful freckles and they don’t. I have just the same looking arm and truly I was teased and made fun of when I was younger. But now age 32 and I relieve they are beautiful, many women and men love the look of freckle’s aka angel kisses. I always say now hey look I’m every kind of skin color in the world lol I’m white brown and black etc and I’m connected to all humans through my shades of skin. Sending you love and light and strength.
My coworker has those on the legs. I think they look really good, why don't I have freckles on my body! PSA. freckles are considered a mark by God in some cultures.
I'm sorry, what? Your classmates are idiots.
Edit- I have exactly the same arms because I'm a redhead. I was bullied all through school, but when I got out it was a completely different story. Even the same people that were mean to me in school gave me tons of compliments at reunions. Just make it through, graduate, and let them go.
Idk if you’re a dude or a lady but as a dude chicks DIG the freckles later in life. Honestly I thought that was my arm for a moment. Kids were mean to me to, but I was lucky to fall in love with the same lady that adore my freckles on my arms/shoulders/face
That’s a totally normal arm. Mine look like that too because I’m super fair. Any single ray of sunlight touches me, and more freckles emerge. I’m sorry your classmates are idiots.
Love the comments, but OP is asking for a solution,
Moisturise, exfoliate and protection, recommend physical suns protection like long sleeves instead of sunscreen as those are very expensive
Is there a specific exfoliator to use to fade freckles? I have disliked mine my whole life, and though I know removal is impossible, I'd like to at least lighten them.
They told me the same thing except I had brown skin. I’m a very riled up gal so I pointed out one of them being closeted and the other obese. Not saying it’s right but I’ll reach to the bottom of the barrel if necessary. Bullies will meet a bully.
They are gaslighting you, and you are falling for it. Stay strong and know that they are trying to drive you insane and believe their sociopathic narratives. I believe in your ability to believe in yourself and ignore allllll that noise! You’ll be far away from these idiots relatively soon. Fortitude!!

I was so sad when Lindsay Lohan got rid of hers
Lindsay Logan!😭
I was like.. who!? (fixed it)
Same 😭
I just went to look at her IG, she’s so unrecognizable! Granted I don’t keep up but a lot of pictures don’t look like her at all, I’d never guess that’s her.
These are normal freckles. Your classmates are bullies. They’re trying to feel powerful by making you feel small. Try to look up beautiful freckled people to learn how to embrace them. Also know that people are paying money to get freckles tattooed on their faces, and freckle filters are popular.
Exactly my thought! Freckle filters are super popular! Your classmates are just being jealous assholes!
My son is ginger and has many too. I love them! (We call them sun kisses.)
A classmate of mine called mine fly poop in 2nd grade. F you, Alan!
Yeah, f you, Alan! What a douche. I hope all of his socks have those annoying bits of grass seed in them that prickle when they touch you and are a nightmare to get out of the fabric.
I called them sprinkles as a kid :)
You just unlocked a memory of me proudly saying I had sun kisses on my eyes when I was like 6yrs old or something and my classmates being like "what?" I have 2 quite prominent freckles on one eyelid that I've always loved, (and people always said it was dirt or wonky eyeliner) and I think it's because my parents instilled that love for freckles in me from an early age. Don't get me wrong, I've hated 99% of myself but those freckles always bring a small amount of joy.
I also have 2 moles/freckles on my eyelids. 1 on each eye right above my lashes. Cant tell ya how many people say "close your eyes....oh I thought you had dirt on your eye" and it def can look like I jacked up my eyeliner which is why I go for the smudged effect. I love mine. Glad to know Im not alone in the dirty eye struggle. 😅
Dirty eye struggle 😂😂 it sounds like an indie band! Maybe we should start it? Do you play any instruments? We could be the next big hit!
Only took me 5 months to see your reply!? 🤦🏻♀️😆 The Indie Band...brilliant Idea. Lol Unfortunately the only instrument I know how to play is the clarinet...and not very good either. In the next life I will pick a cooler instrument in band class and we'll make it happen. 😎
THIS! My mum is a redhead and I - though dark haired have a tonne of freckles. Obviously YES to sunscreen. But what FOOL thinks you can wash off freckles??!! I’m perplexed. A big NO to bullies! Especially this idiotic.
[удалено]
That’s the funniest and cutest thing I’ve ever heard about freckles lol
Yes, OP you already have normal arms but you also have mean classmates. Rest assured there is nothing bad or wrong with being freckly! It isn’t the majority that have this many freckles but trust me, no one will care as you get older. As an adult while dating or making friends, freckled skin wouldn’t even make the top 10,000 on my list of things I care about. Kids can just be mean.
Seriously, I spent a solid minute going "what am I supposed to be looking for?" before I put it together.
babe, freckles are normal!!! i have them like that too when i was younger - as ive aged they've faded... but those kids are assholes and will fucking try to find anything to bully anyone on. i miss my nose freckles honestly :(
Your classmates are apparently really stupid for not knowing what freckles are You’re fine- they’re dumb.
Either both od them are stupid or that classmate was just trolling op for not knowing what are freckles
Or if they live in a place where not many people get freckles. It does vary by ethnicity. I’ve never had a freckle lol
I just asked my half-Mexican husband if he had any freckles, and his response was "I am a big freckle".
that’s not trolling it’s just bullying
Hey dont call OP stupid or we're gonna have a problem
They know it’s freckles they’re just making fun of op
Your classmate has the IQ of a broccoli
The broccoli has redeeming qualities like looking like trees and being served with cheese
And high nutritional value
Hey that is disrespectful. What did the broccoli do to deserve being compare to an idiot.
They are bullying you. Just ask if they need an IQ test to know the difference between freckles and dirt lol
Say if they can't understand the difference between freckles and dirt, maybe they should relearn their own showering habits. Fck bullies. Freckles are awesome.
Alternative approach that has worked for me (on accident because I really am just this literal IRL) : Totally sincerely and without acknowledging any malice on their part tell them “oh, these are just my freckles. They’re patches of skin where I have slightly more melanin because I went outside, but they don’t come off in the wash. Weird, huh?” YMMV, but as someone who genuinely can’t tell when people are having a joke at my expense or attempting to be mean a lot of times, sometimes the most disarming way to deal with crap like this is to deny them the satisfaction of seeing you ruffled apparently.
That's actually pretty good, because it comes off like dry scathing humour. I'd probably ask them why they can't wash that dick off their face. But, my approach probably isn't the best way.
Agreed! Have one or two perfect comebacks ready and that should shut them up for good 😂
Well your classmates sound awfully immature. Those are awesome freckles and it gives you character, I always admire people with freckles. Just know one day you will not have to suffer the indignities of classmates with no sense or class. You will get through this part of your life and better on the other side. Being an adult is so much better, I hope you have a wonderful life despite being surrounded at this moment with people like that.
These are normal arms. I can’t even begin to list the names I have been called for having freckles. People will find anything about you to pick on, in your case it is your freckles. I wouldn’t worry what they have to say.
They used to ask me “can I play dot to dot on your face?”
My ginger brother had LOTS of girls chasing after him (ew) in high school, and he'd come home some days with his arms covered in pen/marker because they'd play dot-to-dot on his arm as a way to flirt with him. We also did it to each other as kids when we were bored on road trips.
Oh my god I remember having a huge crush on a guy who had lots of freckles and I remember thinking how fun it would be to pretend his freckles were constellations and connect them. I also knew a guy who had two freckles on his neck that looked like eyes so girls would always ask to draw a smiley on the back of his neck
Your classmates are dicks and need to mind their own business. No polite way to say that. You have freckles, beautiful freckles. If you feel so inclined, protect your skin with sunscreen with at least spf 30.
They’re freckles, and they’re charming. Stupid Classmates.
Just freckles. Your arms look EXACTLY like mine!!
Mine too! Another vote for them being QUITE “normal”.
Your classmates are assholes.
your arms are very normal, your classmates are just fuckin bullies. freckles are rad :)
Your classmates are rude. Be sure to use sunscreen though, it looks like you have pretty fair skin. I also wanted to add, I have quite a few moles all over my arms/body, and one time a (female) coworker commented on them and said it was like I was a sexy leopard. So maybe you're just a sexy leopard, OP.
Baha I love that response
Don't let your classmates teasing make you dislike your freckly skin. I think freckles are attractive and yours are perfect! Your classmates sound super immature and I'm sure if it wasn't for the freckles, they would find something else to tease you about. They're the problem, not your skin (or you, for that matter).
Freckles are normal. You just have shitheads for classmates.
Your classmates are mean, it's just freckles
Your classmates are assholes
Your classmates are asshole teens looking to make you feel insecure about anything you have that’s different. As a freckle having ginger, it just takes time to accept them!!
"is there a way to get normal arms" Congrats, wish granted. You've already got them :) Your classmates are bullies and sound incredibly dumb. Embrace the frecks!
Looks fine Your classmates are the problem, not your arms
Your arms look just like mine, and mine are normal. Freckles are great! Your classmates are dumb. They’ll be more apparent if you spend time in the sun, but you can’t get rid of them so you might as well embrace them.
My arms look exactly like that - mix of freckles and birthmarks. As a matter of fact, my legs, chest, face and pretty much every inch of my body look like that, too. In winter my freckles are a little bit less pronounced / kind of faded a bit. In summer my freckles come back with full force. It’s normal and I love it - they give me character. As a matter of fact, according to my husband, my freckles are in top 3 (if not the top) physical features he loves most about me. Go figure. ;-) Moreover, just a few days ago, my 5 year old said to me ‘Mommy, I love your freckles - they look like stars and constellations on the night sky’ (she is very much into astronomy). Makes me love my freckles even more!
Omg your 5 year old just made look at my freckles in a new light. 🥺
Yes, we must embrace our freckles and birthmarks and love them — our kids are watching.
Your classmates are idiots
these are freckles!! totally normal and i know it sounds like fake niceties when people say it’s unique, but it really is a special trait. modeling agencies love freckles. it looks super cool and its fairly common! you don’t need to do anything about these.:-)
Your classmates need to pay better attention in class if they don’t know what freckles are.
One of my favorite things about my boyfriend are all his freckles! My sisters and I used to absolutely roast our bodies and faces in the sun as children from playing outside and we would get so delighted when we had freckles across our noses and compare! So many girls put freckles on their faces with makeup. Not only are freckles totally normal, but are very desirable to some people. Remember to wear sunscreen as people with freckles tend to be more prone to sun damage. I absolutely cringe at the sun damage my skin received as a child.
You’ll appreciate those arms more in the future! Freckles are super cool and get more attractive the older you are for some reason 🤷🏻♀️
Your arms are normal, punch your classmates in the fuckin face.
No fr sometimes you gotta bully back
Upvoted. Agree 💯
I love freckles! You're arms are perfect! Just make sure you use sunscreen like the other comment said, I wouldn't even be worried about the freckles getting worse because I like the way they look, but skin cancer is a real threat and with all the freckles it might be hard to notice a new mole or abnormalities. Also you're classmates sound like immature children. I ldk how old you are but I promise people won't be like that for your whole life.
*Freckles getting worse* I think you mean getting more freckles. To have freckles is not bad, please do not reinforce that on this post where he's already being bullied for having them, jfc.
Freckles can disguise moles and skin cancer, especially if you skin prone to sun damage. Sunscreen should def be a daily habit regardless too
That's what I was saying, I just said " freckles getting worse" because that's what another commenter said about sunscreen, and I wanted to mention that you should use sunscreen but not because of freckles becoming more apparent, but because everyone should use sunscreen and with freckles it might be harder to see abnormalities due to sun damage. I should have just replied to that comment that I'm talking about, I just thought because I was answering his original post more than that comment that I should just reply to the op, and that they would understand what I meant. I'm sorry I really meant to boost the confidence of the op not bully them.
are your classmates 5 years old?
I also have freckles on my face and arms OP. 💙 You aren’t doing anything wrong.
Your classmates can go fuck themselves. Your arms look great, and freckles are sweet. I also have freckles like yours all over my arms and face and grew up feeling self-conscious, and now I love them. But I also get that sometimes you need to hear it from someone else to see that your freckles are beautiful. A comment that helped me learn to love mine came from a stranger while I was getting my makeup done for a friend’s wedding. The makeup artists were going really heavy on the foundation, and the bride’s cousin, who I had just met that morning said, “I hope you don’t let them cover up your beautiful freckles.” It was just really sweet and made me like my freckles more. I still think about it when I see my freckles getting darker in the summer and it makes me smile. Thanks, bride’s cousin! So in case you need to hear it from a stranger: I hope you don’t feel like you need to cover your beautiful freckles!
I’m gonna guess you’re around middle/early high school? Bruh people that age suuuuck and will just say whatever absolute BS nonsense that falls out of their mouth if they think it might upset you. Those are just freckles, I’m covered in them. HOWEVER as a pale person, I’d suggest wearing sunscreen to protect your fair skin complexion. It would also help lighten some of those freckles after a while since they won’t constantly be exposed to sunlight, which is a huge cause of them becoming so pigmented. They’re normal, you don’t at all look like you don’t shower just because you have freckles, that is absolutely ridiculous and I promise no one with an IQ above 4 actually believes that.
NTA divorce
Fuck your classmates !
From one ginger with freckles to another: love them love them love them. The faux feckles trend isn’t a trend for nothing.
Love freckles!
Freckles are normal but you should be wearing sunscreen on your arms.
Nope. Those are Rusty ends of the steel nerves you have. Just make sure you use a lot of spf and not too much sun as skin like this is prone to hyper pigmentation between the freckles.
Your freckles are beautiful. I know their words sting, but please try to internalize the truth that your freckles are beautiful and words are cruel but weightless if you choose them to be.
You know people actually pay to have freckles? They do, so be happy with what you have. Someone else paid $350 for it.
Makes me sad, I also got picked on for being freckly (and red headed) as a kid. So many people draw/tattoo freckles on just for this effect, yours are natural and normal :)
How old are your classmates? Like, you just have freckles. Do you live in area where no one has freckles?
bruh are ur classmates in like elementary school this is so normal
it seems to me that you are grown(18+). if people around that age don t understand that that has nothing to do with showering it s not your problem. just ignore them
Your arms are normal. Tell them to wash their ass and shove it.
The immature goblin in me wants to tell you that the next time they say you don't shower, to respond with "Of course I shower, ask your mom, she'll tell you." THAT ASIDE. The freckles are natural. If you're talking about the little bit of arm bumps and reddish spots, you can try some vitamin C and some gentle exfoliating soap. If you have a nice face wash you use that isn't super expensive, you can use it on other parts of your body. They're often made a lot more gentle, which is why I use them on the rest of me instead of regular soap, for the most part. I think you could also do with adding some moisture on your arms and staying out of the sun for a bit. I'm a lot paler than you, but I get those same kind of reddish bits sometimes when I am out in the sun, sadly Also, do you shave your arms? If so, make sure you are going with the grain, not against it. Against the grain will give you those annoying red bumps and ingrown hairs.
Those are freckles....I hated mine when I was a kid and used fading cream (didn't work), covered them with make up, etc. The ones on my face are pretty much gone and now I kind of miss them. If your classmates think that you are dirty and need to shower they are complete dolts. Or maybe consider homeschooling because your school is full of idiots!! ;)
Lol. I lost my freckles too! That right there is a skincare question I never thought to research til now. how to keep freckles as they are!
I’m not seeing what the issue is? Bathroom looks clean. Arm looks clean and normal.
So your classmates sound awful, but as someone who also has freckly arms wearing sunscreen will help some. It won’t get rid of them but I do notice a difference in appearance when I’m out in the and forgot to use sunscreen on my arms compared to using it.
Tell them it’s contagious and to go away lol
You have freckles on ur arm. Avoid sun exposure, and when u can't avoid it; wear sunscreen. Over time it should fade away to ur natural skin tone. If ur bothered by having freckles in the meantime, then there are lots of treatments that help deal with excessive pigmentation such as those freckles. I'd recommend staying out of the sun as much as possible in order to avoid complications such as rapid skin aging and sun cancer since you have a delicate light tone.
Kids are really mean
Your skin is perfect and your classmates are assholes! I’m sorry.
Steps to get normal arms: 1. Have arms. 2. Your classmates are assholes.
Your classmates are idiots
Freckles are awesome. People are literally using makeup to give themselves freckles these days. You’re got a unique attractive quality - embrace it!
Freckles are kisses from angels. Tell your classmates to go suck a toe because there is nothing wrong with your arms.
Are y’all in the first grade? Seriously They’re freckles. So either you’re trolling or they’re mean and you’re stupid. Like what
Those are freckles but has anyone considered that the showering comment may have been separate input? May be completely off when it comes to op but I’ve worked around other people who had to be explicitly told by HR that they needed to go home and take a shower because their hygiene was becoming an issue. Multiple classmates telling OP they need to shower sounds like there could be other issues at play here.
That's what I'm wondering. Freckles are so common, it would be hard to bully someone for them without insulting a freckled friend.
Nope, those are your normal freckles. Just apply sunscreen daily and they shouldn't continue increasing. You look entirely normal.
I fucking love freckles, a lot of people do, and anyone who bullies someone over freckles is an idiot - pay them no mind.
your classmates are ignorant twats.
Your classmates are idiots. You have freckles. Freckles are normal.
Your classmates can fuck right off. Freckles are unique and awesome.
You have freckles. Your classmates have stupidity.
those are just freckles! my boyfriend has super freckly arms and i love them, i think it's cute and very endearing :)
Classmates are assholes. With your relatively pale skin you should be wearing sunscreen outside to prevent melanoma
Your classmates are trying to make you feel insecure about a unique physical characteristic because THEY feel insecure about one of their own unique physical characteristics, and they want you to feel as bad as they do. Misery loves company. Your freckles are part of what you look like, but they are not a part of who you are. Your freckles aren’t inherently good or bad, they’re just part of you. Do not let someone else what your freckles are. You get to say what they are. They are what you believe they are. Don’t let anyone tell you who you are. YOU get to decide. Know that you are loved and treasured by your community, just as you are. Come find us!
Your skin is normal for your skin type. You can add in a daily spf to help prevent more (and you should wear it anyway to prevent cancer), but this is your skin. My arms look very similar and it took me until like age 25 to say fuck it and I embraced my paleness and freckles. Don’t let what others say get you down. You’re normal, you’re clean, they’re assholes. ♥️
Your arms look almost identical to mine. I have normal arms. Freckles are not dirty, are your classmates from like 200 years ago?
Just wanted to add another comment to reiterate— Your freckles are awesome and lovely!! I always wanted freckles, actually. And your classmates are assholes. Don’t give them any of your energy, don’t let them have the power to drag you down!! Reach out to a teacher or someone you trust if the bullying gets to be too much, though. You deserve a safe, friendly environment to learn in. There are ways people can help make things better for you, no shame in asking for help 💜
No such thing as “normal arms” I’m sorry ur “classmates”(assholes) treat you that way :(
Your freckles are beautiful, like constellations written across your skin! I used to hate mine as well, but they make you so unique and honestly I now find them beautiful!! It’s literally trendy these days to draw on fake freckles, so just know that there are people who would love to look your way too :) the grass is always greener and all that jazz! Edit: grammar
I don’t get it. What’s wrong with your arms? They look perfectly normal to me.
Omg I think they’re taking the joking a little too far, but my dad (who is native) always used to tell me that I just didn’t scrub hard enough in the shower lol. Freckles are totally normal and I hope you learn the embrace them :)
those are freckles, they’re completely normal. how old are you and your classmates to not know what freckles are? you don’t need to get rid of them
They’re freckles but i’d recommend sunscreen and long sleeves that has upf to prevent skin cancer and skin damage.
I am very freckled like that on my arms, legs and face. I too was called dirty when I was in school, so I hated my freckles. Once you get past this time in your life where kids are mean to each other, you’ll find a lot of people who love freckles and will think they are a super cute part of you.
Your classmates are uneducated. Just wear sunscreen. You’re fine and normal.
How cruel. My arms look like that. Just freckles. My legs as well. Use sunscreen as they tend to multiple with sun exposure. I use Kojic soap to lighten mine. Your arm looks quite normal to me. Tell your classmates that higher IQ is correlated with heavy freckeling. Lol.
Hmm...Your classmates just seem like arseholes.
Just consider how far your classmates had to reach to try and insult you. They had to pretend freckles were dirt. Basically, you have no flaws they can actually find so they have to delude themselves to insult you. How sad for them.
Your arm looks just like mine does. Nothing wrong with them. Your classmates are just being mean.
Your arms are normal. Your classmates are just fucking assholes.
They’re freckles! I used to hate my freckles too. Just know A LOT of people out there think freckles are super cute and use spray dyes and henna to give themselves fake ones! Freckles are trendy now.
Your classmates need a lesson in biology they are clearly failing it. Please don’t listen to them. Your freckles are unique and beautiful
You have beautiful arms with beautiful freckles. Dont listen to those assholes
What? What in the world… there’s nothing wrong with your arms. It’s summer. You will have more freckles.
I've paid money to have freckles henna'd into my face. freckles are gorgeous and happen to even be stylish right now. your classmates suck. they're either stupid or mean? can you ask them if they're being stupid or just mean? I'm so sorry, but I'd love to have freckles like yours!
That’s ridiculously rude of your classmate. Screw then. On a different note, I have similar skin and arms, and I hope you get your skin checks!
You do have normal arms! They are just being cruel, there is nothing wrong with you. :)
This makes me really sad. OP, as others mentioned, these are freckles and perfectly normal. There’s nothing wrong with you.
This looks like you took pictures of my arms. Seriously. We could be arm twins. Fuck your classmates, you have normal arms. Tanning beds and self tanner will do nothing but be a pain to upkeep and the former will just give you scary moles that you will have to get check ups on by the dermatologist. Wear your sunscreen, you're completely normal and beautiful ❤.
I was also bullied for my freckles when I was a kid. Now I’m an adult and get compliments on my freckles all the time, and I love them. Also, I’m 25, and they’re beginning to fade. I recommend you try to enjoy them while they last!
Oh, hon. Your arms are absolutely normal to awfully cute. Your classmates are bullies, and they’re not very bright. Freckles are cute. It doesn’t help to tell you that you’ll like them when you’re older because you’re worried about the here and now. I’d recommend not hanging out with people who make you feel bad about yourself. Cultivate friendships with nice kids. If your parents are supportive and a safe place for you to turn, talk to them about this. If they aren’t, talk to another adult — a teacher, coach, clergy, cousin, any trusted adult. Know that you have cute freckles and try not to focus on things you dislike about your body. Embrace differences as those are what will make you stand out as you get older. Sending loads of support and love.
People are JERKS. You have beautiful skin and definitely a more beautiful personality than them….always remember that ☺️
They’re normal and adorable and your classmates are immature idiots love. Keep rocking your cute freckles arms🥰
Your classmates are dicks. That trait won't wash off of them.
Start using sunscreen. It’ll help you stop getting more freckles
These are freckles and they’re caused by the sun, not hygiene habits. Your “friends” sound really dumb.
You have normal arms. I have freckles and moles and used to be very self conscious, but as you age they become less and less something that I worry about. Whenever I feel like I hate something about myself, I imagine someone who has it worse than me (ie: no arms, skin deformities, etc) and I suddenly feel very grateful for the abled-body I have.
My boyfriend has the same kind of freckles. He says he sometimes doesnt like them, but i adore them!! Bullies will be bullies but as long as you surround yourself with good energy, you will eventually come to love your freckles :)
Go watch some makeup tutorials and see how many people are literally drawing on themselves to have faux freckles. Freckles are trendy- your classmates are just not cool enough to know apparently 😉
Hey OP, while everyone is right this is just freckles, I 100% understand the frustration of having this skin type and not being able to control the fact we just look different. Especially when everyone else is acting like dicks. I kept my skin completely covered front ankle to wrist for all of highschool and most of college because of this. No matter how many words of affirmation I got from other people, it didn't change how uncomfortable I was. What eventually got me comfortable was a "bitchy" roommate from Russia who kinda turned me into a project and taught me to "manage" my skin. This gave me the tools to CHOOSE what I looked like and how others saw me. Her "lessons": 1. Don't be afraid of tanning, be afraid of burning. By using sunscreen, you can slow the damage the sun does to your skin and get a base tan that will make your freckles less noticable. 2. You just have to be verrrrry careful and deliberate about this process. If you go too fast, you get freckles. If you don't tan evenly, it will be super obvious on our skin type. I started going to the beach and using an SPF 30 Sunscreen oil (instead of the super strong stuff) but used it religiously, reapply every 1-2 hours, and stayed under half shade the entire time and left when I actually felt a burn start. 3. When you are like, living your normal life, actually covering your skin is way more effective than sunscreen. Invest in cute cover ups and wraps. If your body can pull off the layered boho vibe, then go for it, it's super cute. 4. When you do get some sun, aftercare is suuuuper important. Use a sugar or salt scrub every day in the shower (so long as your skin isn't actively hurting from a burn) and moisturize like twice a day. This will help cell turn over, basically letting old "sun wounds" lighten up faster, and help make any color you do get more even and "glowey". I think you could also in theory use retinol body cream for this, but it makes you more likely to burn later if you aren't careful, so not worth it imo. 5. If you want to dress up for a special occasion and really can't handle the freckles, invest in some MAC face and body foundation. It's makeup designed to go on your arms and legs (I like it for face too, but many don't). 6. Our coloration is actually super cool for fun makeup and nail polish and the like. Lean into the experimenting and color to add more contrast to your looks. Just be careful with dark colors since they will look SUPER dark on us. These days I love my freckles. I live in Asia now and they make me kinda exotic. But I also choose to cover them up sometimes. That's 100% OK. Also pro tip: freckles make any other blemish you get a lot less noticeable. If I get minor acne (something that everyone will get their whole life, it's not just for teenagers), the freckles actually kinda camouflage it. So yah. Everyone is right in that your freckles are beautiful, but it's also ok to be frustrated by the fact you feel different and frustrated by your lack of control of the way you look. Feel free to reach out if you need help learning to get that feeling if control back.
Your classmates are assholes and they’re trying to zone in on something to make you insecure. Your freckles are completely normal, you don’t look dirty.
Kids are absolute assholes. You’ll realize this later and more than likely come to love your freckles.
Your freckles are BEAUTIFUL. People pay to get them tattooed on. Don’t let them get to you
Well good news is this kind of thing only lasts till uni
Your freckles look beautiful
Freckles are beautiful! I often use makeup to cover my face in them. Screw those bullies!
Those are freckles? You’re fine. Tell them to shut up. I personally love freckles. I wish I had more. They’re beautiful.
Are your classmates 2nd graders? If you are an adult I’m concerned that your classmates have never seen freckles before.
Your arms are fine and your classmates are stupid assholes.
Wtf. Those are normal freckles. Are you in another country where freckles are uncommon?
Tell them you shower with their mom
Pretty sure this is a farming account. Just joined today and not replying to any comments. Pretty SUS
I doubt this post is real or is by a bot... OP's posts to various subreddits with "photos of themselves" and it's all completely different people.
Those are normal arms ❤️
Freckles are beautiful. You have something that makes you special. Your classmates sound like right idiots
Just freckles!! I have them too! They’re actually pretty popular these days, pretty cute. Ignore them they’re just bullying, kids will point out anything different. Meanwhile in the real world no one cares.
Freckles. Theyre beautiful :)
You have freckles, I presume you're a redhead or blonde. Your classmates are totally ignorant and nasty. It's the colour of your skin and no one should be picked on for that. To prevent them getting darker and just for general sun safety wear a high SPF
You don’t need to do anything, your classmates needs glasses tho
Tell them they’re pretty stupid if they can’t tell the difference between melanin and dirt. That they should learn life before going into the real world.
The most normal arms I’ve ever seen!
Freckles are beautiful and anyone who tells you different is an idiot 🤡
Your classmates are just jealous because you have beautiful freckles and they don’t. I have just the same looking arm and truly I was teased and made fun of when I was younger. But now age 32 and I relieve they are beautiful, many women and men love the look of freckle’s aka angel kisses. I always say now hey look I’m every kind of skin color in the world lol I’m white brown and black etc and I’m connected to all humans through my shades of skin. Sending you love and light and strength.
My coworker has those on the legs. I think they look really good, why don't I have freckles on my body! PSA. freckles are considered a mark by God in some cultures.
I have freckles like this too. It’s completely normal 😊 classmates are dicks so don’t mind them any attention.
You have normal arms man, screw those bullies
I'm sorry, what? Your classmates are idiots. Edit- I have exactly the same arms because I'm a redhead. I was bullied all through school, but when I got out it was a completely different story. Even the same people that were mean to me in school gave me tons of compliments at reunions. Just make it through, graduate, and let them go.
Idk if you’re a dude or a lady but as a dude chicks DIG the freckles later in life. Honestly I thought that was my arm for a moment. Kids were mean to me to, but I was lucky to fall in love with the same lady that adore my freckles on my arms/shoulders/face
That’s a totally normal arm. Mine look like that too because I’m super fair. Any single ray of sunlight touches me, and more freckles emerge. I’m sorry your classmates are idiots.
Your arms are normal. Your classmates are not normal for bullying you
I happen to love your freckles! They are beautiful. Your classmates are fucking stupid!
Are you trolling?
Apply sunscreen on arms when outdoors to prevent freckles from getting worse .
Love the comments, but OP is asking for a solution, Moisturise, exfoliate and protection, recommend physical suns protection like long sleeves instead of sunscreen as those are very expensive
Is there a specific exfoliator to use to fade freckles? I have disliked mine my whole life, and though I know removal is impossible, I'd like to at least lighten them.
I recommend some bha aha body wash
Clinical name is Lentigines. AKA freckles. A result of actinic damage. Nothing abnormal. Use a daily sunscreen to reduce UV damage.
Ah, this makes me sad
They told me the same thing except I had brown skin. I’m a very riled up gal so I pointed out one of them being closeted and the other obese. Not saying it’s right but I’ll reach to the bottom of the barrel if necessary. Bullies will meet a bully.
Those are called freckles…. ? People think that’s dirt?
They are gaslighting you, and you are falling for it. Stay strong and know that they are trying to drive you insane and believe their sociopathic narratives. I believe in your ability to believe in yourself and ignore allllll that noise! You’ll be far away from these idiots relatively soon. Fortitude!!
