so today i found a petechiae rash on my upper thigh right above some small sore bruises that i don’t remember getting. the rash really scared me because i know petechiae is a symptom of things like leukemia and lymphoma. i also have a petechiae rash in a line shape on my arm that just showed up (an hour ago i didn’t have it!). on top of these, i have had a tender lump in my armpit these past couple months which i thought nothing of because i’ve been getting boils and staph infections off and on these past 2 years and figured it was that or a cyst. i also have two or three joints on my left hand that are abnormally tender lately (i even found a very small tender lump on the base of my ring finger when i was feeling around!).
anyway i was wondering if i should go to the doctor over this- i have a terrible fear of doctors so this would be incredibly anxiety inducing. i’m just worried i’m dying of cancer and don’t know it.
is it possible for these symptoms to be caused by medications? i’ve been taking lexapro (an ssri) for about 6 weeks now, alongside ativan when needed for ocd.
thank you
