Today, I discovered that I have developed an allergy to salt water on my face. Now, every time I sweat or cry, I come up in a bright red rash. I am allergic to my own bodily fluids. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 was going to bleach my bikini line, as I have not been able to shave there due to some ingrown hairs, and I also have to lifeguard every day. As it turns out, I'm allergic to the bleach. There is now an angry red, burning rash on my crotch that you can see around my swimsuit. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, I discovered that I have developed a latex allergy. I'm a third year medical student. FML
Today, I found out the reason I've been itchy for the last two weeks is because I'm now allergic to chlorine. I'm also a swimming instructor. FML
Today, I used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. FML
Today, after an extremely stressful day, I took a hot bath when I got home. I used my little sister's bubble bath to make it more enjoyable and relaxing. I then broke out in hives. I guess I'm allergic to bubble bath. FML
Today, I was eating out with my partner, and we decided to use the new lube we bought. Things went great until I later realized I was allergic to it and a large red rash spread all across my mouth and chin. It won't go away. FML
Today, I woke up with a rash on my face after just getting over a bad cold. I was told by the doctor that it was a staph infection spread by wearing a face mask. The face mask I wore so people wouldn’t catch the cold from me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

To /develop/ an allergy, you need overexposure to saltwater. Stop trying to drown yourself in saltwater.

ive never heard of being allergic to salt water, but i know there is a WATER allergy... yea don't know why it would only be on ur face, but i guess if it's possible to be allergic to water it's possible to only get site specific allergic reactions...i know i have a sun allergy that only appears on my chest...weird.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1172102/Mothers-allergy-water-means-drink-bathe-wipe-away-sons-tears.html

Sodium isn't necessarily salt. Sodium Chloride (I believe) is salt.

sodium chloride is TABLE salt. There is more then one type of salt.

I find this one believable, simply because not all skin is created equal. For instance, if you use Nair depilatory cream, it tells you specifically not to use it on privates, FACE, or breasts, because the skin in those places is extra sensitive. You don't need overexposure to things to develop allergies; often they develop later in life because of UNDERexposure. Perhaps they're not really much of a crier and had never been to the ocean. Or maybe crying simply never produced enough to irritate them before their first visit to the ocean. It's probably more specifically a reaction to the salt than the water. Ever been swimming right after shaving? It can cause intense irritation, burning, and itching. The face is much more sensitive than the legs; it is illogical to rule out the possibility simply because you've never heard of or experienced a certain condition.

It could be your face wash! That happened to me... It was not fun. However, I looked into it and found out it was the specific face wash I was using.
