Hello again NMP... i thought i had a handle on my health anxiety but... here we are again.
About a week ago, my belly button felt really sore and the skin around it looked like it had rubbed. the skin was a bit broken, very itchy.
i started using sudocrem on it which i think made it worse, so i started using talc powder just to ease it / get rid of any moisture.
The skin is feeling better, still a little red, but now the main concern... 4 days ago i started having discharge which i think the sudocrem made worse.
The discharge is white, sometimes i tiny hint of yellow but mostly its white.
its not constant, i wipe it away and maybe 6 hours later it will be there again.
i have been trying to keep it clean as much as possible, washing it every day and wiping any discharge away.
but now i'm worried i may have a cyst or something. I have absolutely no other symptoms, no fever, no pain, no lumps, nothing.
But then... i'm overweight (working on this). So i'm not sure if my body could just be 'hiding' a cyst or worse.
i know this is stupid. i have called 111 who told me to call my GP but they have nobody available to talk to until tomorrow. so now im in an anxiety riddled waiting game :(
