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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Put on some chaps and walk like a cowboy.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I don't know if this is in your price range but Lush Cosmetics sells this white powder called silly underwear. My best friend uses it for boob sweat and gave me some to try and it really keeps cleavage and the nether regions silly smooth dry. It has reviews about chafing so maybe it will help. Look it up!

Ugh! You poor dear! Eczema's the worst! I had it on the back of my right thigh as a child. Now it's on my upper lip and smile lines. I'm in "remission" right now tho. Pinterest has lots of remedies. Check them out!

I get that, I'd had it in that spot for a few months. Incase you need some help, there's antichafing stuff called 'Body Glide' skin protection that works wonders! It comes in a twist tube type thing & they're at Rebel Sports (saw you're in aus too), can't remember how much they are but they're not expensive & it lasts quite a while! There's a pink one made 'for her'. I have a small one that I keep in my handbag at all times. I use that when it flares up & even just when I know I'm gonna be walking around a lot, just to give a layer of protection so there's no chafing/soreness etc. Also keep up your steroid cream use on it too to make sure you're treating it :) Vaseline also works great in doing the same thing but it doesn't last long & it feels greasy & slimy, whereas Body Glide you can barely feel it on

Ouch! I know how that feels especially in the summer. Makes me so envious of women who don't have tree trunk legs.

Man, mine just came back on my face because of stress. Welcome to hell. I hope it gets better for you!

Join the club girl. I've got a rare condition of eczema that is in the same place.
