Let's try this again - this is probably the third time I've written all this out. I'll get used to the forum soon hopefully.
I have severe OCD and health anxiety. I woke up the other day with three small blisters in a line on my arm. I work in healthcare and had some people look at it. They said it looks like a burn, but I didn't burn myself. One said herpes which started my spiral. Before I realized it was there I had helped my daughter get dressed and I wasn't careful about not touching the area. I'm terrified I could have spread something to her. Another person said bug bites. I instantly thought of bed bugs and I've searched my whole room and my daughter's room and I haven't found any evidence. Yesterday I found a red spot on my leg that looks like a bite. No pain, no itch. (The blisters have no pain or itch too). I'm in such a state of anxiety that I can barely function. I'm terrified there are bugs living in my house. Please help me relax.
