Today, I got 2 creams for a skin condition. The one for my face says "Don't expose skin to sun after use of this product". The one for the rest of my body says "This product relies on exposure to the sun". In other words, I have to be outside as much as I can, naked and with a box on my head. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. FML
Today, after applying sunscreen to myself every two hours, I still got sunburned. Through my clothes. FML
Today, I went to the beach. After applying sunscreen liberally and doing my best to stay out of the sun, I came home with the worst sunburn I have ever had. I almost needed to go to the hospital. I am officially too pale to be allowed outside in summer. FML
Today, I was badly sunburnt even after making it a point to apply a lot of sunscreen. My coworkers thought it amusing to slap me every chance they get. 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 I got sunburned on my cheeks. This wouldn't be too bad if they were the ones on my face. FML
Today, I got a second degree sunburn everywhere above my waist, for which I've been using a medicated lotion. My roommate "pranked" me by switching the lotion with a similarly colored, very caustic acne wash. My chest feels like it's roasting in hell and is oozing pus and oil now. FML
Today, I discovered that when my doctor said my new medication "may cause sensitivity to sunlight" what he meant was "sit in total darkness during the day or your skin will feel like its burning off." FML
Today, I woke up early and went to the dermatologist's, only to have them tell me that the skin condition I have that causes big, white spots to appear is chronic and I can do nothing about it. But they did give me cream for a different skin condition they found. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What's wrong with that? Sounds like a good look.

on the bright side, if your walking around naked no one will know it's you if your face is covered.

So wear the face one at night and the body one during the day? unless it says you have to put them on at certain times or something.

*sigh* It looks like I have to be the voice of reason YET AGAIN. This is really destroying my rep around here. FromNL: you need to go back and yell at your bonehead, er I mean your dermatologist. Any dermatologist worth his weight in triamcinolone would know how these 2 creams work and that using one is a contraindication to using the other. This is some pretty classic bullshittery, and you need to call your doctor out on it. Remember, doctors aren't infallible, but it's the good ones who admit when they've make a mistake

I think your reputation is still intact, Doc. You're just being a doctor as well as an asshole. ;)

No LittleBritt, if I had meant to say "contradiction" I would have said it. The word I meant to use (and actually DID use) is "contraindication". If you don't ******* know what it means, look it up. The only irritating thing here is you trying to look smart and failing. The only mistake I made is forgetting the full stop at the end of my comment. Yes, I'm human as well as a bastard.

Miss just one period and suddenly your pregnant. That's how it works, as a doctor you should know this.

who said the OP got these creams on the recommendation of a doctor?
