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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Take an oatmeal bath it will rehydrate you..Aveeno has a good one. Yeah it may sound weird but it helps with the burn. Then put a good moisturizing lotion or pure aloe over the burn. For the bug bites dab a bit of rubbing alcohol on them it usually takes the itch away.

I wouldn't go so far as to say you *deserve it*, but you brought it on yourself from your carelessness. I recommend Aloe Vera gel for the sunburn (I usually don't bother with this myself as I don't mind being sunburned much, but if it's really bad, go for it), and tiger balm for the insect bites.

Hope you learned your lesson. ALWAYS use suntan lotion. I always set a timer to wake me if I fell asleep. One severe sunburn teaches you quickly.

Well, be careful anyway. Black people are capable of getting sunburned also.

I got one, but it apparently doesn`t work, at least not if bugs love you. less than half an hour reading in the garden and I had six bites, but then again I live in Florida.

Don't worry, the melanoma is going to hurt far worse than both, and then it will kill you. Cheers!

Girls are so obsessed with getting tans...haven't you heard of skin cancer? Now normally I'd say use sunblock, but that might defeat the purpose of the tanning (I don't know, I'm not one to lay out in the sun to get tan, probably because no matter what I always burn and peel but that's beside the point). So if you couldn't use sunblock, YDI it for falling asleep. You also deserve it for being obsessed with getting a tan (overrated).
