WTF Moments

File this in the category of unusual shit that happens to me.

I have this irritated skin-tag on my shoulder/neck area.  I think it's a skin-tag, it could just be an irritated pimple for all I know.  Either way, it's annoying and it rubs on my shirt the wrong way.
So yesterday I decide to be smart and throw a band-aid over it to cut out the irritation.

I wear it all day, it definitely helps.  I leave it on for my workout at the gym because I wear those super cool spandex type dealie-o's that don't let your sweat break through your clothes - and I really didn't want that tight on my skin and rubbing at the irritated area.

No annoyance so I'm good.
Fast forward to me waking up at 5:30 this morning and going to scratch my shoulder and coming in contact with the band-aid that I had forgotten to remove at any point last night.
I feel a bit of soreness, but I dig in and rip the band-aid off and then I start to feel some minor pain.
I reach up and touch where the issue is coming from and it feels all goopy.

Yes, somehow, during my workout, the sweat forced the band-aid to cauterize to my fucking skin and when I ripped it off I ripped off some goopy flesh with it.
So, now instead of having just this one little spot of irritation I have a much larger issue haha.
At least it wasn't the whole band-aid that gave me the issue and just around the edges - but still.
I've gone this many years without ever having a similar issue or even hearing that this shit is possible.
WTF man, seriously?
