Today, I discovered that I have developed an allergy to salt water on my face. Now, every time I sweat or cry, I come up in a bright red rash. I am allergic to my own bodily fluids. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I have a rash all over my face because yesterday my boyfriend broke up with me. Apparently, I am allergic to the something in the tissues with which I was blowing my nose and wiping away my tears. FML
Today, I woke up with a giant red rash all over my face, so puffed up that I could hardly open my eyes. The doctor said it was probably from some of the compounds found in most makeup. I'm just getting into theatre and have auditions coming up. FML
Today, I was going to bleach my bikini line, as I have not been able to shave there due to some ingrown hairs, and I also have to lifeguard every day. As it turns out, I'm allergic to the bleach. There is now an angry red, burning rash on my crotch that you can see around my swimsuit. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, I discovered that I have developed a latex allergy. I'm a third year medical student. FML
Today, I found out the reason I've been itchy for the last two weeks is because I'm now allergic to chlorine. I'm also a swimming instructor. FML
Today, I used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. FML
Today, after an extremely stressful day, I took a hot bath when I got home. I used my little sister's bubble bath to make it more enjoyable and relaxing. I then broke out in hives. I guess I'm allergic to bubble bath. FML
Today, I was eating out with my partner, and we decided to use the new lube we bought. Things went great until I later realized I was allergic to it and a large red rash spread all across my mouth and chin. It won't go away. FML
Today, I woke up with a rash on my face after just getting over a bad cold. I was told by the doctor that it was a staph infection spread by wearing a face mask. The face mask I wore so people wouldn’t catch the cold from me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Pee contains salt, so yes in a way he will get a rash if it somehow ends up on your face. I didn't think you could be alergic to salt water but hey, learn something new everyday

Really? Give me a single published example of someone allergic to salt, water or saltwater. Water is necessary for just about every reaction in your body. Sodium and Chloride ions are necessary for signal transduction in nerves, as well as a ton of transmembrane cotransporters. Do your own research. Might I suggest an intro bio class?

FAIL! There is salt, moron. Why do you think there is salt added to sports drinks? You lose salt when you sweat. ******* tard. Look up things before spouting off your "genius" answers to the world. GTFO.

You're a fool. Take a basic biology class and you will learn that sweat has salt in it. Why do you think sports drinks have salt and electrolytes in them? Because you lose more than just pure water when you sweat. If you sweat a lot and only drink water and don't replenish the sodium, it can result in hyponatremia. Next time do some research before trying to sound smart.

Your tears have salt in them. That's why saline solution for your contacts is pretty much just salt water and if you try to wet your contact with fresh water it hurts like whoa.

Back at you #43. Try reading the whole article, and not the title. Aquagenica Urticaria is an allergy to all water anywhere on your body. The article is about 3 sentences. L2use Google.

I did read the whole article. I wasn't saying the OP had it I was just saying that for people who do not believe that you can be allergic to sweat or tears that it is possible.

I call bull, if this person developed an allergy it would be all over her body, not just her face, so when she sweats she'd have a rash under her arms, on her back, EVERYWHERE!

Agreed... skin allergies aren't specific to areas like the face or hand or a leg. More sensitive skin may be more subject to an allergy, but skin allergies affect all of the skin, not just one specific place. I did have a friend once that had an allergic reaction to the energy drink Vault... he could drink it, but if it got on his skin he got a really angry rash. That's about as abnormal a situation as I've seen, but skin allergies aren't area specific. OP probably just has dry skin.

not true. i have the same allergy, except it's all kinds of water, not just salty. i break out into a rash everytime i shower, sweat, cry.., and the rash is limited to my face and chest

No, I have an allergy to nail polish and it only affects a part of my face.

Maybe that's your NAIL polish saying you're not supposed to use it on your face???.............. Pure genius.

I know how you feel, my skin is sensitive on my face as well. If leave water on my face to dry on its own I get red blotches on my face for a little while. I'm not entirely sure why it does that either. My boyfriend thinks its funny to lick my face because it leaves red marks wherever he does it.

Yeah, you stole this from one of those medical shows. You can't only have an allergy on your face, it'd be on your whole body. I remember the show, and the girl couldn't cry, or she'd get a rash and her face would swell up. However, I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong, but I thought she was allergic to water of every kind.

I get a really bad stingy rash on my face whenever I sweat excessively like after a workout. So OP isn't lying. No one said anything about face swelling. Stop trying to look hard by calling out the OP with your bullshit.
