Today, I was riding a longboard down a hill and I fell off. I was all scraped up so I made sure to clean my wounds and put bandages on them. Turns out I'm allergic to the glue on the bandages and I have itchy hives all over and around my open wounds. FML

Today, I got a bug bite on my boob. I scratched it so much it started bleeding so I put a bandaid on it. Turns out the band-aid had latex in it and I got an allergic reaction to it. The bug bite is still bleeding and the top half of my boob is swollen. FML

Today, I was riding my scooter at a skate park. I was wearing a helmet, but I got hot, so I took it off. Within the next minute, I fell off my scooter and cut my head open. I had to get four stitches. FML

Today, I discovered that I'm allergic to band-aids. I now have a band-aid shaped rash around a tiny cut on my leg. Oh the irony. FML

Today, I fell off my bike. I grazed my knee, shin, thigh, hip, collar bone, shoulder and face. I also strained my wrist. As I was wheeling my bike away, I stung my other leg on nettles. 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

Today, I was riding my motorcycle on the highway and wearing all of my gear - boots, gloves, jacket, and full-face helmet. Somehow a bee found the only spot not covered on my body and stung my neck. I'm allergic to bees. FML

Today, I sliced my arm open on the weekend, patched it with a fabric bandaid. Had an allergic reaction to the bandaid, arm now swollen, blistering and keeping-me-awake itchy. Pharmacist's advice? "Oooh, that looks bad. Better put a bandaid on that." 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 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 finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML

aww, that sucks. inb4"Well why didn't you know that. YDI n00b" I don't think everyone goes around checking the glue on bandaids. Also who knows, this could be a new allergy. Not everyone knows the allergy. YLIF, glad I'm only allergic to penicillin.

I always find it strange when people find themselves allergic to something. Like, someone being allergic to latex condoms, or the glue in band aids. It's just so unexpected, yet it happens. I feel bad for laughing at the word 'wounds'. Just saying it sounds funny though. I'm sorry OP. I hope you get better soon.

That's happened to me before. Only I fell down some concrete steps on my face. And that's where the hives came up. And after the hives, my skin started flaking off...

How old are you like 2? How have you not come across this before? Unless you're telling me you've gone 10+ years without ever using a band-aid. This seems fishy to me.

I have the exact same problem. I usually have worse marks from my bandages than I do from the actual wound. Plus, if I scratch the area where the bandage adhesive bothers me, I get left with dark brown marks! I guess if it's not too serious, you could always try liquid bandages in the future or gauze and medical tape (gotta find the right one you're not allergic to of course)
