Hey guys!

I feel so down and scared :( I have severe hypochondria and sometimes when I check myself I end up hurting myself. I've done some pretty messed up stuff.... picked off moles/freckles, ripped my tonsils, damaged the nerves in my neck and slipped a disc, tore certain body parts (embarrassing to say what parts), when I was a teen because of my obsessiveness I also filed my teeth away and had to get veneers, plucked off all my eyelashes and eye bows and things similar to that.

Now I am scared because I have pulled off moles that I have melanoma and they won't be able to find it. Is that true that it can cause cancer? I'm so terrified :( I'm sure if it wasn't say then they wouldn't remove them for vanity reasons?
