Today, as always, I have a type of eczema that flares up when I'm stressed out or anxious. And today, the girl I've been in love with for 4 years asked me out on a date. We meet up in a few hours, and right now I look like I have smallpox. FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy from Bumble. It was going well, with dinner and a walk on the waterfront, until he started complaining about skincare products, "People with eczema use that nasty cream, it's so sticky and smells horrible." I have severe eczema. FML

Today, I was woken up at 2 in the morning by my wife frantically saying something about her having scabies, and that I had to take her to the ER. It turned out to be eczema. FML

Today, I have a rash all over my face because yesterday my boyfriend broke up with me. Apparently, I am allergic to the something in the tissues with which I was blowing my nose and wiping away my tears. FML

Today, it's my wedding day. I have a cold sore that makes me look like The Joker. Make-up won't cover it and the emergency medicine my doctor gave me only irritates it more. My future husband asks, "Why so serious?" and laughs whenever he sees me. Fantastic. FML

Today, I got a new skin cream for my acne. I tested it on a small patch of skin just to make sure I wasn't allergic. I was, and the reaction didn't stay on that small patch of skin. My left arm is now almost entirely covered in a horrible rash. FML

Today, at Church, the little boy sitting behind me asked his mother if I had the chicken pox, because there were red dots all over my face. I've had bad acne since I was twelve. FML

Today, I woke up with a giant red rash all over my face, so puffed up that I could hardly open my eyes. The doctor said it was probably from some of the compounds found in most makeup. I'm just getting into theatre and have auditions coming up. FML

Today, I went on a first date with my crush. Right before the date, I noticed a monstrous pimple in the middle of my forehead. I covered it with make-up, but it was still visible. The guy spent the whole evening laughing at me and telling me that I look like an unicorn. FML

Don't fret it. If she seriously likes you she'll understand and learn to move past it.

Tell her the truth. She might even be impressed with your honesty and also appreciate how much you like it that it caused you to break out in a rash.

She knows what you normally look like. If she's worth your time, she'll understand when you explain.

So you're in love with her and you couldn't find the courage to ask her out? You waited four years for her to ask you out?? Grow a spine, maybe that'll help you out some.

Sounds like dishydrotic eczema. Ask your doctor for a giant tube of steroid cream. Apply any time you feel like you're about to have crazy times. And know that most people grow out of eczema.

Also, stress management techniques would help OP. Paced breathing and meditation are very helpful to control anxiety.

My boyfriend has eczema, I loved him anyway - regardless of whether or not he has eczema. I didn't even know he had it because it didn't matter :) OP, just be yourself and be honest with her... If she's that superficial that she doesn't accept your medical condition, just leave her xxx
