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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I was getting ready for a very unpleasant doctor's appointment. I got out of the shower and used a new body spray all over my torso and arms. Turns out I'm allergic to it and now my skin is on fire, so now I get to go to an already uncomfortable appointment even more uncomfortable than I'd planned. 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 found out I'm allergic to mosquito repellent. I fly out on a two month trip to India on Saturday. FML
Today, I'm allergic to not only bug spray, but also mosquitos. I'm staying at a bug-infested lake for 5 days. 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 found out I'm allergic to the pills my doctor prescribed for coughing, which I really need because I ripped a muscle in my stomach. Now my whole upper body is covered in a terrible itchy rash. I also found out it will last for at least another week. FML
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
Today, I got the worst sunburn I've ever had in my life, and then discovered I'm allergic to aloe when I went to treat the burn with some gel. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

His skin feels like it's on fire. How is that the bright side? I'd rather be itchy from bug bites

I was being sarcastic. I understand that the bug spray made OP get a rash

#39, sarcasm pro tip: if you have to explain and point out your alleged sarcasm, you're doing something wrong. Just saying.

I hope you feel better soon OP! Maybe next time you can get crafty and try out some essential oils as a repellant. Who knows, it may be worth it.

That sucks maybe try some of those clip ons? That way you don't have to apply anything to your skin.

I hate it, I am allergic too and now I have red bumps on my hands and it's so red and itchy but use vitamin b6 and vitamin e lotion by "simple" it works like a magical wand.

Put dryer sheets in your pocket. It helps repel bugs.

I always ask myself, why the hell some people think OP deserve such horrible things? Are they those people who stand there and laugh at you, when you get robbed and yell: "HA! You deserved that!"? It sounds terrible but I saw that ones...

Those are people that accidentally hit the wrong button. No one can be that heartless.

there's always this person in the comments anymore. why does it matter how people vote? who cares?

#34 Why some peolpe care? I don't know, maybe because FML give you that option and there is also the "Best of" with a Top or Flop list. So it matters for the app itself!
