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, my new deodorant caused an allergic reaction, covering my armpits in a painful rash. I've had to awkwardly waddle around all day with my arms splayed outwards to get any relief. One customer at work sarcastically mentioned that it's nice that they're hiring penguins these days. 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

Itchy and Scratchy

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 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

Today, I was working in a call center when I smelled perfume. I'm allergic, and it triggered my asthma. When I came back, some jerk had sprayed it all over my work area. I couldn't go near it for the rest of my shift, therefore I had to go home early, and got my paycheck docked. 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 started my job selling perfume in a department store. I decided to be creative and sprayed a little perfume towards the first person who walked by. She had an allergic reaction, and an ambulance had to be called. FML

Today, my stress sweat overpowered my prescription strength deodorant 45 minutes into an 8-hour shift. I don't know who is more miserable, me or my coworkers. FML

Stop using those with aluminium in it. That could be the problem.

Youu could have gone to the bathroomtoilet to wash it off instead of being uncomfortable and in pain.

Washing it off usually doesn't work since skin absorbs things. Most allergic reactions need either time or steroids.

STOP SCRATCHING! Switch to liquid deodorant, powder, prescription, natural, something but in the meantime - stop ******* scratching! Why are you torturing yourself?! *permanent (couldn't resist, mate)

I thought this said "see the doctor piss". If you were going to add extra letters, you may as well have just spelled it correctly. What is the point of abbreviating if you aren't saving all those precious milliseconds?

Move that last 's' over to 'doctor' and it looks like "see the doctors piss"

It's not an allergic reaction. Your armpits are staging a bloody revolt and are trying to take over your body, one stinky area at a time. Watch out - they've got your crotch on their side.
