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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, trying to exercise and be more healthy, I went for a walk but I developed a friction thigh rash. The rash is so bad I will likely not be able to get on another walk for days. 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 discovered that the painful eczema I get every winter was actually being caused by the moisturising cream I use to treat it. 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, as always, I have a type of eczema that flares up when I'm stressed out or anxious. And today, the girl I've been in love with for 4 years asked me out on a date. We meet up in a few hours, and right now I look like I have smallpox. FML
Today, something flew up the back of my shorts while I was at work. I now have itchy hot welts the size of my palm coating the back and inside of both my upper thighs. FML
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
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 have scratched both my ankles so hard and for so long that they started bleeding, and they still itch. I have no idea what I’m allergic to. FML
Today, I found out that the acne under my arms was worse then the severe acne on my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

TMI! Anyways use hydrocortisone and wear Spandex like underwear shorts .. that way the rash don't touch each other when you walk.

Try Aloe or Baby Powder. If that fails, try wearing looser fitting bottom clothing with soft fabric for a bit.

You could also try Aquaphor. I have eczema on my elbow creases and my doctor prescribed that.

I know the feeling!! Best tip I can give you OP is try a honey-based cream, only thing that works for me and settles it down!!

I feel you, OP. I have eczema everywhere on my body (back, neck, arms, fingers, hands, and face). Sounds silly but what works really well for me is glad wrapping my skin after putting eczema cream on it. Give it a go! I saw improvements after the first night.

Well...I can imagine somewhere worse...but anyways, try cornstarch for some relief.

Wow, that's terrible! I thought I had it bad. Mine starts out with itching between my boobs and then I get the pimples and blisters there a couple of days later. I hope you get better soon!
