Today, my class had a paint war to celebrate our upcoming graduation. I had a severe allergic reaction to the paint and now I'm covered in giant red splotches everywhere. FML
readytograduate tells us more.
For those who were wondering, I had no idea I was allergic to the paint beforehand, but with four layers of foundation the red splotches on my face were almost completely gone. I wasn't able to completely hide the ones on my arms so I wore a sweater with my dress. And thank you for all of the congratulations! Only a couple days left!

At least you made paint war instead of paint love. Just think of the red splotches you'd have then.

They probably didn't realize that they would be allergic to the paint to begin with. No one usually goes around testing themselves for paint allergies.

Are you sure it isn't red paint

Did you try some benadryl? Either the pill form or you can get it as a liquid in a little stick you can rub on the splotches. One of my daughters randomly gets Hives like this, we've yet to narrow it down because it's very rarely that it happens to her. But benedryl, cool packs, and drinking a lot of water tends to help get them away?

Last time I was in a paint war I got paint in my mouth and it was terrible

Skin irritation isn't a severe allergic reaction. Severe is where you use an epi pen or end up in a hospital. I could understand you having a shock from it, and itching, redness, and light swelling. Good luck!

I'm sorry, you truly believe that skin irritation is a "severe allergic reaction"? Are you five?
