Today, I had my back waxed to deal with the uncontrollable hair growth. Afterwards, I broke out in numerous pimples where the hair used to be. Basically, a lose-lose situation. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to use an at-home waxing kit for the first time to get rid of the hair on my upper lip. After experiencing the trauma of waxing, I fell asleep. A few hours later, I woke up to see that I now have acne everywhere I had waxed. I have an acne mustache. FML
Today, I popped a zit that had formed around an ingrown hair "down there". It popped with so much force, the pus hit me in the forehead. Still can't get the hair out. FML
Today, I realized that the full body wax I got two weeks ago that my wife told me would look sexy doesn't just make me look like a completely hairless ten-year-old boy. The ingrown hairs everywhere now make me look like someone with chicken pox. FML
Today, I thought it would be a good idea to use my epilator on my eyebrows. Needless to say I now have the eyebrow equivalent of a comb-over. FML
Today, I was waxing my legs and somehow dropped an enormous dollop of hot wax on my naked crotch. I refused to yank it off, but still had to cut it off with scissors. So now I have a huge patch of pubic hair way shorter than the rest of it. It looks a right mess FML
Today, I realized that I can't shave my unibrow because I have too much acne on my forehead. FML
Today, after begging for over an hour, I had to pay my sister $20 to wax my back for me so my bra would stop painfully pulling at the hair I repulsively seem to be growing there. FML
Today, I decided to wax my eyebrows. My entire eyebrow came off. FML
Today, I was finally confident enough to buzz half my hair off into the style I've wanted since I was young. Turns out that I have a particularly large and angry-looking skin problem across my scalp that may well have been there for years. It'll take months to grow back. FML
Today, I decided to take a relaxing shower. My face mask made my face break out in hives. While exfoliating, my nipples became chafed. Then I slipped and cut myself while shaving. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You idiot. That's just folliculitis (inflammation of the follicles), and it is very common in men. It will go away, and if you keep waxing, it won't be so bad in the future. I'm an esthetician student, that's how I know.

Try bikini zone on your back. No lie that's what I put on my bfs back when I waxed him. No bumps..

Are you sure they are pimples? Everyone gets those red bumps after waxing and they go down eventually, hope your backs alright now!

Been there. It was excruciating to get waxed, my back was then red and inflamed for a day, then was covered in painful pimples. By the time they healed, the hair was back. Just make peace with the hair.

why do you get pimples after getting rid of the hair?

Subscribe to proactiv plus and make sure to select the teen kit. It will have the 3 step system plus a body acne bar witch works GREAT, and so does the second thing that comes in the teen kit, the Emergency Blemish Relief. It makes unexpected pimples go away really fast. And when selecting your free gift, go with the re texturizing toner and Skin purifying mask. A lot of people say proactiv is bad but it works great for me. Note: only the body bar should be used on your body. And after your first shipment, log in and add the re texturizing toner to your kit and the mask. They are gifts so won't be but you just have to add them. Hope this helps:)
