Not really a friend, more of an acquaintance. Thought it would be funny to just put something on my face, of course I woke up immediately so now there's just a random dot. It's too black/dark to be a mole- is there anything I can do to get rid of it now before it's there forever? Or at least lighten it?

I'm dealing with the person, but can I do anything to fix the damage?

UPDATE: As of right now, I need to be on a flight to Japan in 12 hours, it's non-negotiable. I haven't found an open tattoo shop but I'm looking to see if there are any near the airport.

I've contacted law enforcement, and I can't gauge what or if they are doing anything about this. Fortunately, this guy seems to be hated by at least two of my acquaintances/friends for other shit he's done, so I do think he'll get in trouble for the frankly much worse things he's done.

On the bright side, I'm bisexual and was already on PrEP, and I'm also on antibiotics for health issues I have. So I'll see a doctor, but I think I will likely be safe. I'm also fine when it comes to money for solutions.

I'm a trans man, 23, and I do a lot of exercise. Also been on T for 6 years, I'm basically equivalent to a cis man, I'm just kind of short.

I'm a healthy weight, but I look bad. I think it's muscle keeping me at a healthy weight technically, but again I look bad, my body fat percentage is very low and you can see everything on my body. Every vein, every tendon, every bone. I look hollowed out. People touch me and they can feel everything. I'm having trouble doing injections for my prescriptions because I can't find fat. My grandma saw me and commented that I needed to gain weight- not in just the asian grandma trying to feed you way, but a repeated, different, concerned way.

Recently, I had to move back in with my parents and younger sisters. Financial reasons. I guess it's because they're not moving around as much, or my parents' age, but they don't want us eating too much. My mother's against having a lot of more high-calorie things like cheese or salami in the house because then other people would eat it and gain weight. I understand that as you get older, you get cholesterol problems, diabetes, the like. I cook a lot, and I don't like to make everything the low fat version of the actual dish. I have tried to anyway- using one can of full fat coconut milk and one fat-free when making soup, for example- but it's been going too far.

Today, the plan for dinner was for us each to have >!HALF of one of these fish fillets!<, along with some green beans and corn. The serving size is >!two (2) fillets, for a grand total of 240 calories!<. This is >!60 calories worth!< of fish! I offered to cook them up with some shrimp and noodles and make a seafood stir-fry, but I got a lecture on having too much carbs in a meal. I was told I was insulting my mother's cooking, because I said I'd rather cook a "proper meal".

I tried to explain that I didn't need to lose weight, my sisters don't need to lose weight, and if anyone does, the answer isn't this kind of crazy restriction. It's just met with "well you're not doing much exercise anyway, you don't want to end up like [overweight friend I have with the same medical condition]."

They know I had an eating disorder when I was younger, and the only way I ever recovered was moving out. But now I'm back, and every thought I've worked hard to resist is coming back in full force. I don't like this, I don't like not having energy, I don't like my clothes getting loose. I don't want to participate in group weight loss schemes, but when I say this it's "we get it, you're skinny". It's not a good thing to me! I don't look a like a man, I look like a sick boy. But that guilty ED brain is coming back, and it's telling me not to eat. I don't know what to do.
