Acne for many people is a four letter swear word, although it isn’t one that you could really use in a sentence. I mean telling someone to go acne themselves just does not have the same effect as some other choice swear words. Having said that I reckon it would make for a great curse. I can just imagine people walking up to the local witch doctor so they could curse their enemy with a serious case of acne.

The only problem is that they could probably cure it with some of the latest acne treatment, so perhaps they would be better off cursing them with a bout of warts, or do those wart removal creams actually work?
