Today, I found out that my recurring acne is actually bedbug bites. I have wasted about a hundred dollars on acne cream. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I discovered I have bed bugs. I have nowhere else to sleep and I won't be able to afford a new mattress for at least a year. I'd better get used to these giant welts. FML
Today, I found out that my intense acne is actually an allergic reaction to the "deep clean" product I've been using to reduce it. I've been using this product for the past ten years. Ten years of suffering through "acne" could have been easily avoided. FML
Today, I found out that the little red dots all over my body aren't some horrible disease like I originally thought. They're bedbug bites. I've managed to not notice a huge infestation for 5 months. FML
Today, three days after finally having a bed to sleep on, I woke up with multiple bedbug bites. I can't use my blankets, wear any of my clothes and it's back to sleeping on the floor for me. FML
Today, after finally going to therapy for anxiety like everyone wanted, I discovered the itching feeling that kept me awake at night was actually caused by a bedbug infestation. FML
Today, I found out that the acne under my arms was worse then the severe acne on my face. FML
Today, I went to the doctor for what I thought was a persistent bug bite. Turns out it was a mole I'd never noticed. I had been scratching it then applying anti-itch cream for weeks. FML
Today, I finally saw a dermatologist due to my unusually severe acne. Now I know I actually have a rare disorder that makes me allergic to my own acne. FML
Today, after three visits from exterminators and another from a steam cleaner, I still have bedbugs. FML
Today, I found out that what I thought was "acne" is actually an allergic reaction to a cream I've been using for years. I thought the cream was helping me with the breakouts but my doctor says the real acne probably went away naturally years ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This makes me question every blemish I have now. With terror.

Perhaps you have forgotten the old adage? ... Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite!

Again, it doesn't matter how clean a person is, anyone can get them. They don't just live in beds, so washing your sheets are completely useless against them if that's your only mode of eradication. They can get in your house a lot of different ways, including on your clothes. Also, if they did only live in beds, how would washing the SHEETS prevent or get rid of them? They'd be in the matress itself.

Just think what those of us who actually have acne spend on a consistent basis.

Pests like bedbugs, tics, roaches, lice, etc are indiscriminate. It doesn't matter how clean or dirty you are.

Had bed bugs last year. Only way to get rid of them was a heat treatment. Exterminators come and heat up the whole house. Haven't seen them again since. But make sure you unplug all your crap and take out meltable objects
