Today, I decided to lay out and tan. I fell asleep and got sun burned and bitten numerous times by mosquitoes. If I scratch my itch, the burn hurts terribly. If I don't scratch it, it itches terribly. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to sunbathe in my backyard in an attempt to be healthy. The result? Insect bites over my body. Somehow, despite being fully clothed the entire time, my scrotum also received several bites. FML
Today, I went to the doctor for what I thought was a persistent bug bite. Turns out it was a mole I'd never noticed. I had been scratching it then applying anti-itch cream for weeks. 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 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 got a mosquito bite inside my cast. I slipped a ruler into it and started scratching to relieve the itch. Part of the ruler ended up snapping off inside. FML
Today, while I was shaving my nose started to itch. Guess which I shaved and which I itched. 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, it was lovely outside so I decided to tan outside. I burn pretty easily, so I put on sunscreen. I fell asleep on my side, so when I woke up, I had a massive burn on only one side of my body, with sunglass lines. Tomorrow, I have a job interview. I'm going to go in looking like a racoon. 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, I went on a camping trip with my friends, but forgot to bring sunscreen. I spent the entire day outside and ended up with a severe sunburn all over my body. The pain is unbearable and I can't even move without yelping as if I was slowly being cooked in an air fryer. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Try ice-cubes on the bite. They'll relieve the itch and help take away the burning sensation. Just wrap the ice-cube in something like papertowels first though.

Wow why would you scratch your bug bites? That makes it worse! I'm sure there is cream or something to help ease the pain, use your head for once. Nothing says "Come bite me" like sun burned flesh.

Lol I fell asleep tanning once the sun is so calming. Really tho op next time get some bug repellent (they have a clip on kind now) and some sun screen. Maybe try taking a cool shower? The water hitting your skin can ease the itching and the cool water will feel good on your burn. I could be wrong, but it's worth a try. Oh but get some ocean potion and put it in the fridge for a bit. It's works great and really feels good:) Good luck!

OP, try using an icebag wrapped in paper towel. It will keep the burn cool and soothe the itches.

There is this magical new invention called sun tan lotion, buy some! Or have a nice time having skin cancer :)

Use cream you dumbass. Anti-itch cream, after-sun cream, oh, and sun cream in the first place. If you don't tan easily, you should ALWAYS ce using cream when it's sunny. YDI.

I'd be more worried about the fact that you look like a monster.. Tan, red bug bites all over you. I'm sure you walked outside and some kid freaked.

I live in florida, we get bitten by multiple mosquitos if we fall asleep outside or not. /; try rubbing toothpaste on the bites, it should stop the itching.

to all of you saying use sunscreen if you don't want skin cancer, do some research. sunscreen only gives you a false sense of security letting you think you can stay in the sun longer whilest it really only blocks the good sun rays (vitamin d) and let's the cancerous ones in.

Actually, straight from the Skin Cancer Association: http://www.skincancer.org/Sunscreens-Explained.html Look at the bottom for myths, including the one about Vitamin D. Sunscreens are essential if you are going to be outside for any amount of time.

It sounds crazy but just make an X on each mosquito bite with your thumb-nail. Aloe Vera gel for the burn :-) If this doesn't work seek medical attention.

So you disaprove of everyone who tans? I'd rather have some color and lay out in the sun then have pasty pale skin and stay inside all day.
