Hi all,
I've been on here many times about health anxiety - I am a proper hypochondriac.
But four or five days ago I was having a shave and I noticed some white-ish dots (can't be seen in the picture) and general white-ish patches on my upper lip. You can't really see them just by looking but if I raise the lip you can clearly see the patches. Very closely you can see small white dots.
I have attached a picture:

Sadly the picture isn't of great quality and the patches/dots do not look as prominent as they actually do.
What can this be? I don't think it would have been there very long as I am sure I'd have noticed them by now, as I see them as soon as I look in the mirror now. I'm very concerned. I've also got worried because since I've seen them I am convinced that I am not feeling myself (not that I have been feeling myself for a long long time anyway, due to extreme fatigue, which is apparently due to depression, but that's another story I've already posted about on here) but even so I think I feel even worse. Whether it has got into my head that this is something bad and has made me anxious I don't know. I just wish my mind could stop telling me there's something wrong! Since seeing these I have started to notice that I feel:
* A burning sensation on my lips
* A dry mouth
* A burning sensation in general over the body at different areas randomly
* Even more achey and tired than usual
Any advice would be very much appreciated, going out of my mind :(
Thanks
