I suffer from severe anxiety.. Yes I do worry about my skin and every little thing that shows up.. I run to the dermatologist.. Then I will focus on something else and run to the Dr. but I know its a obsession with my health that brings on most physical pains & aches but I can stop!!! So yes I do obsess about every little bump that shows up. I am seeing a therapist and working on these obsessions with my body and thinking the worse..
It's so annoying. I know a lot of it is me putting things in my head but then I let the anxiety take over. I've been to the dermatologist numerous times. I have no risk factors and like twenty moles/freckles. But I'm convinced that I'm missing something. Its comforting knowing I'm not alone.
I too go to therapy and have great friends and family who help. But I'm such a catastrophic thinker.
I am experiencing the same exact thing. Freaking out that I picked off a melanoma last year..(looked like a pimple) There is a scar in its place, but Im worried that the melanoma is under the surface and I dont know. Did your dermatologist say that a melanoma would grow back if it were picked off?
Cheers
