Today, I discovered that I'm allergic to band-aids. I now have a band-aid shaped rash around a tiny cut on my leg. Oh the irony. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML
Today, I got a paper cut while opening my box of Band-Aids. FML
Today, I sliced my arm open on the weekend, patched it with a fabric bandaid. Had an allergic reaction to the bandaid, arm now swollen, blistering and keeping-me-awake itchy. Pharmacist's advice? "Oooh, that looks bad. Better put a bandaid on that." FML
Today, I cut myself on a band-aid box, while trying to get one out for another cut. FML
Today, I was riding a longboard down a hill and I fell off. I was all scraped up so I made sure to clean my wounds and put bandages on them. Turns out I'm allergic to the glue on the bandages and I have itchy hives all over and around my open wounds. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that I'm allergic to a particular brand of tampon. FML
Today, I walked too close to a first-aid kit sticking out of a wall at work, and it cut my arm. Laughing at the irony, I opened it to get a band aid out. It was empty. FML
Today, I found out that I am allergic to one of the preservatives that they put in aloe. I found this out after I put some on a severe sunburn I have. Not only am I sunburned, but now I am severely itchy as well. FML
Today, as I peeled a now soggy Band-Aid off my finger, I discovered that in the dim light of yesterday evening, I had, with great anxiety, wrapped it around the wrong finger. FML
Today, I got a bug bite on my boob. I scratched it so much it started bleeding so I put a bandaid on it. Turns out the band-aid had latex in it and I got an allergic reaction to it. The bug bite is still bleeding and the top half of my boob is swollen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

A band-aid making your condition worse? That is a textbook example of situational irony. Quit being douchebags, especially when you're wrong.

You're not allergic to band-aids. You may be allergic to a certain type of band-aid. But yes, your life is ****** because you have a tiny rash on your leg that will probably disappear in a day.

15-actually a lot of people do have an allergy to the adhesive on them so OP isn't a dumb ****. you might want to not jump to conclusions when you're insulting a person. the post is lame, though. the mark will be gone in a few days and I hardly think this will fyl.

15 shut your A-hole. rash means bumps and itchyness not a line from a tan. i would tell you to think but apparently you dont have a brain.

I don't see how this is an FML situation... I've always been allergic to Band-Aid adhesive. I also can't use a nicotine or birth control patch because I am allergic to the adhesive. It hasn't impacted the quality of my life at all.

Oh, and I went back and saw a few comments about the difference in adhesive between regular and fabric Band-Aids. That explains why I've never had a reaction to the fabric ones...
