Today, I got a sunburn all over my stomach from a tanning bed. In an attempt to relieve the itching, I looked up natural treatments since we have no aloe. After trying yogurt, milk and mayo I found out that our water was shut off so the shower could be fixed. I now reek of mayo and milk. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got a second degree sunburn everywhere above my waist, for which I've been using a medicated lotion. My roommate "pranked" me by switching the lotion with a similarly colored, very caustic acne wash. My chest feels like it's roasting in hell and is oozing pus and oil now. FML
Today, I got the worst sunburn I've ever had in my life, and then discovered I'm allergic to aloe when I went to treat the burn with some gel. 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, 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, a day after I went to the beach and fell asleep in the sun without applying sunscreen, I woke up to find myself looking like a lobster, with the worst tan lines possible. On top of that, I had to go to a wedding, and when I walked in, my cousin asked if I had “taken a bath in some tomato soup.” FML
Today, I was getting ready for a very unpleasant doctor's appointment. I got out of the shower and used a new body spray all over my torso and arms. Turns out I'm allergic to it and now my skin is on fire, so now I get to go to an already uncomfortable appointment even more uncomfortable than I'd planned. FML
Today, I found out that the shampoo I’ve been using has yogurt in, following a prank my boyfriend did. Turns out he forgot about it and I’ve been using it for 5 days now. FML
Today, I was really badly sunburnt, so I put on some after-sun. The only type we have has glitter in it, and now I look like a sparkling tomato. FML
Today, I spilled boiling water on my legs. A coworker told me that putting mustard on the burn would heal it. I ended up at the emergency room. When people walked by I could hear them say "it smells like hot dogs". 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI. Tanning is stupid. Seriously. Do you want skin cancer?

YDI for artificial tanning. It's worse for you than natural sunlight. And how can lying in a bed for two minutes beat walking outside? Ever? Also, even if Mayo were a remedy...why would you put it on your body????? EW.

1. Tanning Beds = Skin Cancer (as mentioned in these comments about a billion times) 2. Milk doesn't smell unless it goes off and i doubt it would do that in a small amount of time 3. Who the Hell uses mayo? 4. Not too much effort to get more aloe. 5. YDI

I just clicked YDI after you said you got burned in a tanning bed. Once again, I was right! I've never seen a tanning bed post end it anything but YDI. My conclusion? Anyone that uses tanning beds is a moron.

YDI for being stupid overall. 1. For going to a tanning bed in the first place. Yay skin cancer! 2. For putting yogurt, mayo, etc... on a burn. Anyone with the slightest knowledge in first aid will tell you that putting any cream or oil on a burn will make it worse. 3. Well you obviously got to the tanning salon somehow. Why couldn't you just go get a ******* bottle of aloe then?

people under the age of 35 who go to tanning beds are 75% more likey to get skin cancer. you should probably be more worried about that than smelling like mayo.
