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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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 used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. 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 accidentally gave myself a chemical burn. It hurts like hell and I've been told all I can do is wait it out for a few days. The worst part? It's from a reaction to a cream I used all over my chest. I can't wear a shirt without being in immense pain. 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 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 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 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 got sunburned on my cheeks. This wouldn't be too bad if they were the ones on my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

soak a soft cloth(or shirt) in milk and put it on the sunburn...it takes the sting out and helps so you dont peel as badly. i get sunburned alllll the time.

Worse than a bad sunburn with a rash? Let's see, losing your mom, being raped, getting pregnant, having a miscarriage, dropping a baby, being dropped as a baby, being a child soldier, getting cancer, watching your child die, and plenty more. Hey, you asked.

You know what works great? Take 2tbsp salt and a half-cup lemon juice. Mix thoroughly and soak a rag in it, then lay the rag on the burn. Repeat as necessary.

You fail for failing to realize it is possible to get a sunburn during the colder seasons. The sunlight can reflect off of a "blanket" of snow and it can certainly burn you.

plus they could live in the south.

I live in South Florida, and can get a sunburn 12 months out of the year

you can get a sunburn even on a cloudy or snowy day. uv rays reflect off the particles in clouds and snow and can burn you. and for all you know, the op could be very pale skinned like I am. I can get a sunburn while driving to work. yes, through the windows and in the dead of winter.

Sexy. Don't worry though. Just peel all the skin off, let it bleed out all over the place..., Then go to your local Walmart and scare the living shit out of all the little kids! Have a good laugh! Or better yet, (before you skin starts to heal) take a trip to Hollywood, they may need you on-set for the filming of the next monster movie. Or if you're so self-conscious you can't let ANYONE see you, Wear a paper bad over your head for a while. Try to find some with the designs on 'em! The guys will digg it! :D
