Today, at work, man who was buying medicine for his son came up to me for help. He didn't know how to explain it to me, so instead he showed me a picture of a rash on his kid's butthole. FML

Today, I was working at my day-camp, and one of my little boys told me he had to show me something important. He proudly showed me that he'd crapped his pants. I had to wipe his ass clean. FML

Today, I was in line at the pharmacy when the man in front of me asked if I wanted to see a picture of a turd that looked like an uncircumcised penis. Before I had time to answer, he showed me a picture of a turd that looked like an uncircumcised penis. FML

Today, my boyfriend called me into the bathroom after he had been in there a while. I found him with his pants down, looking at a pimple on his butt in the mirror. He asked me for, "Help." FML

Today, one of the kids at the daycare center I work at was so excited at the fact that his constipation was over, he felt the need to bring me his fecal matter, in his hands, to show me. Guess who had to clean up the aftermath. FML

Today, I tried to treat a cut on my butthole with Neosporin. I couldn't see it properly, so I had to use the front-facing camera on my phone. FML

Today, at work, I wet my pants. I had to throw my tighty-whities away. Since I didn't have underwear on, I chafed real bad and got a rash on my butthole and near my balls. I had to push my boyfriend off of me, all because it hurt too much to touch. FML

Today, I had to take my son to the hospital for drinking sunscreen. Apparently, he saw something on the internet that said if he drank it, his body would sweat it out and continually apply it to his body. He's 16. FML

Well that's a bit disturbing, why does he have a picture of it?? Hopefully he got what he was looking for though.

He couldn't explain what it was. So he took a picture of it to show someone who could help him.

I see 3 FMLs here: 1) Having to look at a picture of a rash - infected butthole (like the OP). 2) Having a rash - infected butthole. 3) Having a parent with a picture of said rash - infected) butthole who is willing to show others (even if in a medical context)

It's situations like that where I wish memory wiping was possible.

Why didn't he just take the child to the doctor like a normal sane person? Father of the year....

Why didn't he take the kid to the doctor and get a prescription if he really couldn't describe it? If it was simple enough to be treated with over-the-counter stuff, it could probably have been described with the phrase "he has a rash on his butthole."

If you work in a pharmacy - that's part and parcel of the job. It's not like he stuck the rash bare under your nostrils. If you don't work in a pharmacy, you shouldn't have to give that kind of advice.

Sounds like you need some brain bleach! I'd say this is a reminder that while it would be nice to be able to see, being blind has some advantages. ?

How hard was it to say a rash? That's all that had to be said!!!

Yes, because "rash" let's them instantly know what type it is

36- if they want a specific medical diagnosis and treatment rather than, say, a topical cream that treats rashes in general, you go to a DOCTOR. A pharmacist fills prescriptions and can recommend over-the-counter treatments for common ailments. The guy OP was talking about was doing the equivalent of walking into a auto parts store with a picture of his car and asking why it was making a funny noise. Not the place, not the way you diagnose.
