hiya,

I'm sure its fine but def go to the doctors just to be sure and keep your mind at rest. You'll feel so much better once you've seen the doc.

good luck taylor,

Don't worry about it Taylor - I'm sure it's nothing!! Good that you're going to ask the doctor though just to be sure. Let us know what he says..

Try not to panic about it Taylor. Chances are it is nothing but it is a good idea to see your doctor and get it checked out.

Let us know how you get on.

Yes, get it checked but a day or two will not matter if its just appeared.

Good luck Taylor, good idea about the doctor. Im sure your boyfriend is right though. When we find something, we then panic, it all then gets blown out of proportion. Im often worried about my health and dont believe my husband, when he says its nothing.

My sister had breast cancer and im constantly checking myself, as I think I will get it.

Feel free to PM me, if you want to talk.

hiya taylor sorry how you are feeling , I am the same with health anxiety and lump, bump spot, rash or any pains and i worry myself sick untill i see the doc. But the truth is if you look enough you will find new(as we think) spots lumps moles etc. As we get older we get different spots and rashes and little bums but becouse we are so hyped up and anxiouse we let them get us down. Hope its nothing and hope you feel better soon. If you are anything like me when you get the all clear on these spots you wil soon find another problem to worry you. take care, Vernon.

Let us know how you get on.
