On New Year's Eve I woke up with red blotches on my in bed arm between elbow and bicep. They looked like little bruises. This got me into a huge panic about cancer and petechia. They disappeared within 48 hours. I did mention to gp last week and showed her the photo I took she said it was due to trauma as I had just been moving house and was lifting lots etc. she was totally unconcerned.
Since then I am inspecting my skin for any change. I've noticed that when I scratch my thighs I sometimes get a tiny dot that doesn't blanch. Just a dot. I've also notice in the morning my thighs look at bit red. But I also sleep with an electric blanket so I'm not sure if it's heat related as it disappears quickly.
I am worried about cancer or liver problems. I can't stop obsessing and looking intently at my skin.
Can anyone help please? I am trying to resist getting bloods done as I always let the anxiety take over and get medical testing and it's always normal. Had my bloods done about 8 months ago.
