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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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 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 noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Today, I got a hand cramp from popping zits on my face. 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 I finished putting self tanner on my legs, the phone rang. Telemarketer. After returning to the bathroom I put moisturizer on my face. As I looked in the mirror, I soon realized I'd forgotten to wash my hands. My face is now streaky orange. FML
Today, my phone thought my armpit was my face. 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, my OCD manager sprayed my hands with chemicals because I'd touched the bin while throwing away a piece of paper. My hands are now covered in itchy, unattractive rashes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP, I assume you mean that your phone doesn't recognize your fingerprint. I also have that problem. In my case it's because I had chickenpox badly on my hand as a child and my fingerprints aren't "normal"... My advice is to just forget about using the fingerprint detection feature (disable it) and just use the passcode - Far less frustrating than constantly retraining the fingerprint detection which never works for some of us. By the way the face recognition on newer products works well.

i think OP meant his touch screen, as in his phone, won’t let him scroll up, down, left or right due to the intensity of OP’s eczema. You need actual skin in order to operate a phone’s touch screen (or a rubber material similar to skin) whether you are unlocking the phone, making a phone call, or utilizing other smart cellular device applications. Even with face recognition, in order to use the phone past unlocking it, you need fingers and hands to enjoy the functions of the phone. Hope this helps.
