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
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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.

Wah wah wah. FYL because you can get sunburn in February while the rest of us are under 4 feet of snow.

Best sunburn cure I know is tomato. Really. Those big beef tomatoes work best, straight out of the fridge. Cut one in half and gently rub it on your skin - it really cools the burn down and helps it to heal faster. Let the juice sit on your skin for a few hours before you wash it off. I did a quick comparison last summer when I got sunburn on both shoulders (I have red hair and pale skin so I can burn while wearing SPF50 if I'm not careful), I used tomato on one shoulder and a normal after-sun cream on the other. The tomato healed the skin much faster than the after-sun.

I totally know how you feel. When I was 16 I went to the beach with my best friend and got sunburn literally all over my back (even with SPF 50), and because I'm so pale it was SUPER bad (lobster red). I had my brother put the sun burn relief stuff on my back and when it kept hurting he put more on. Turns out my allergic reaction to that stuff is an intense burning pain. Intense burning pain from sunburn+intense burning pain from allergic reaction=WORST NIGHT EVER.

Been there, done that. for years my family told me to 'suck it up,' that iwas over-reacting for attention. turns out I'm allergic to aloe.
