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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that what I thought was "acne" is actually an allergic reaction to a cream I've been using for years. I thought the cream was helping me with the breakouts but my doctor says the real acne probably went away naturally years ago. FML
Today, I found out that my intense acne is actually an allergic reaction to the "deep clean" product I've been using to reduce it. I've been using this product for the past ten years. Ten years of suffering through "acne" could have been easily avoided. FML
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 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, 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 realized that the tingly feeling on my face when I put a new combination of acne wash, acne medication, and my usual moisturizer on was not, in fact, "it working." It was slowly peeling away the top layer of skin. I look and feel sunburned. I also still have acne and oily skin. 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 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 discovered that my "life-changing" skincare routine wasn’t working because I’d been using conditioner instead of moisturizer for two weeks. My skin is greasy, and I smell like coconuts. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I too have eczema and I use the Eucerin body wash and the intensive repair lotion. They both moisturize the skin really well and the body wash was a actually created for people with eczema and psoriasis.

You should have checked the treatment with tour doctor.

Change your diet too! Foods cause eczema. Foods, pharmaceutical pills, etc cause this. Use coconut oil, aloe leaf fresh from the plant, and jojoba oils!

At least you know the reason know. I used a cream for acne in september, and when I woke up next morning my skin was totally ****** ... :( I still have a brown scar on my left cheek. It isn't that deep, but I can see it, and it destroys my confidence and mood so much even though people can't really
