TIFU by mixing up my creams in the dark.

TIFU by mixing up my creams in the dark. Accustomed to keeping my Kayla cream (pain relief cream) in the bathroom and hand cream by the bed, I recently started using a new hand cream with a similar size and shape. In my nightly routine, I climbed into bed, turned off the light, and grabbed what I thought was my hand cream. Squirted it in my hand, felt like more than usual, so I slathered it on my hands and up to my elbow. Cue pain and stinging. When I turned on the light, horror struck – I had grabbed the Kayla cream instead. Despite washing my arms three times and jumping into the shower, my hands are now redder than ever. This cream, which never burned or stung before, is a disaster on my arms and cracked hands. TIFU, and I do not recommend it.

TL;DR: Mixed up creams, applied the wrong one all over, intense burning, and now regretting it.
