Today, I've got the worst eczema I've had in 25 years. It's spread to the worst possible spot: right where my thighs touch when I walk. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, trying to exercise and be more healthy, I went for a walk but I developed a friction thigh rash. The rash is so bad I will likely not be able to get on another walk for days. FML
Today, the eczema on my hands is so bad that my phone's touch screen didn't want acknowledge my fingers as human skin. FML
Today, I discovered that the painful eczema I get every winter was actually being caused by the moisturising cream I use to treat it. 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, as always, I have a type of eczema that flares up when I'm stressed out or anxious. And today, the girl I've been in love with for 4 years asked me out on a date. We meet up in a few hours, and right now I look like I have smallpox. FML
Today, something flew up the back of my shorts while I was at work. I now have itchy hot welts the size of my palm coating the back and inside of both my upper thighs. FML
Today, I found out I'm allergic to bug repellent. So instead of having a couple of itchy bug bites, my skin feels like it's on fire and is violently itchy everywhere the repellent has touched. FML
Today, I was woken up at 2 in the morning by my wife frantically saying something about her having scabies, and that I had to take her to the ER. It turned out to be eczema. FML
Today, I have scratched both my ankles so hard and for so long that they started bleeding, and they still itch. I have no idea what I’m allergic to. FML
Today, I found out that the acne under my arms was worse then the severe acne on my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Vaseline on that area helps.

Ouch, that's where I had it too. Powder the sh-- outta it and if it doesn't go away with OTC, get some of those steroid pills from a walk-in clinic. Good news--the pills will REALLY wake you up in the morning!

Ah that sucks. Sounds like it might be time to get some prescription cream, if you haven't already. When my eczema gets that bad it's always in the most visible places (face and hands), so I have to walk around looking like a tomato if I don't use any medicated cream.

I know it sounds gross, but try an oatmeal bath! It works for mine far better than any prescription cream did for some reason :) I hope yours clears up too OP

So you got Chafing. I hate that it happens to me all the time, I carry a bottle of baby powder with me and apply constantly. So far thats the only thing that has worked for me.

They sell bands of fabric meant to prevent chub rub that might help. They cover your upper thighs and the fabric doesn't move around so hopefully that will help prevent further irritation. FYL ?

Try diaper rash cream with zinc. And a pair of shorts/liners when wearing a skirt.
