Today, I discovered a cold sore in my ear, which I need to treat with a cream. Because of health issues, I already have six different creams and lotions to apply to various parts of my body, including buttcrack and hair. FML

Today, I have what is probably a cold sore on my upper lip. I also have a mustache, which keeps rubbing against it. Because of this, no matter what I do, it stings. The next few days are fixing to be very, very long and miserable. 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, I had to go buy diaper rash cream. For myself. FML

Today, I went to the store and bought some cream to help with a sunburn I'd gotten a few days ago. What's worse than having red, peeling, and painful skin? An allergic reaction on top of it. FML

Today, I had a heat rash on my crotch. I asked my mom for cortisone cream. While I was putting it on, it suddenly started burning. It turns out she gave me arthritis cream. FML

Today, I finally went to the doctor's office to have a small patch of acne on my stomach looked at. Since it was in an almost perfect circle and abnormally sensitive, I was worried it could be ringworm or some other sort of skin infection. It turned out to be an infection alright. Herpes. FML

Skin care

Today, I woke up early and went to the dermatologist's, only to have them tell me that the skin condition I have that causes big, white spots to appear is chronic and I can do nothing about it. But they did give me cream for a different skin condition they found. FML

Today, I came down with painful sores in my mouth, just after having gotten over a cold. Apparently I'm allergic to the cough drops I've been eating for the past week to make myself feel better. FML

Itchy and scratchy

Today, I finally forced my husband to go to the doctor's for his chronically itchy arsehole, which he scratches in his sleep, and ends up bleeding all over the sheets. Turns out it’s a fungal infection. Now he has to apply a cream twice a day, which isn’t fun to watch when he does it in the bedroom. FML

Today, my brother thought it would be absolutely hilarious to replace my cold sore cream with superglue. FML

"…including buttcrack…" Oh, god, that sucks! "…and hair." Oh, g… actually, that doesn't seem so bad when it follows up the first part.

Which hair? Please say it's not your buttcrack hair!

For some reason that's exactly what I thought when I first read it!

Unless you're a Doctor you don't know jack squat on what's going on with OP

Just off the top of my head, OP could be having a reaction to a prescription, or an autoimmune disease. Don't judge.

A cold sore in your ear? You gotta stop listening to so many dirty secrets.

If you're already using 6 other creams, one more can't be too bad. At least it's not your genital area!

I thought cold sores were only in moist areas around and in your mouth i.e. Herpes in the genitalia area. I guess you have to knock out the person giving you wet willies...

I foresee this resulting in more FMLs ... Best get a set of Sharpies and color code those tubes, OP.

Not my business but if your getting rashes all over get rid of the creams and find out the real cause. Probably environmental(mold) or an allergy (food or detergent).
