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.

Leave the area open to air. An allergy can happen in minutes. Even if you have used the product before. There are special bandaids for people with allergies.

And just apply pressure to get it to stop bleeding. It might actually be better.

That's actually the opposite of ironic. Definition fail, nobody uses that word correctly.

Irony - 3 a (1) : incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result (Webster) Whenever the word "irony" is used, people who claim they know what it means claim that it's used incorrectly when they themselves are the ones who don't know what "irony" means. How ironic.

Sorry, this was not meant to be a reply to you. My comment disappeared and then reappeared in a weird place. FML really needs to fix their commenting system.

First, pick up that dictionary that you've never used and look up "irony." Second, use gauze. It's cheaper, less of an irritant, and then you won't get beat up at school for wearing Hello Kitty band-aids like a first grade girl. Who uses a bandage for a tiny cut anyway? Mama's coddled you way too much dearie.

Don't back talk me boy.

Then don't lend yourself to being back talked.

If the tiny cut was on an often-rubbed area, like a heel, band-aids are totally acceptable. Don't be a prick.

Because all Band-Aids have Hello Kitty on them...?

Bandaids don't heal you. They stop the wound from getting infected. In fact wounds heal faster if left in open air
