I think my health anxiety is slowly getting better. I used to be obsessed with the petechiae (small pin prick blood red dots) on my arms and thought I had cancer or something equally as terrifying. Now I've realised that loads of people get these and I'm (probably) NOT dying. Yey! But today I noticed around 7 more appear on my arm all of a sudden. I don't look for them anymore. I swear they weren't there this morning and I noticed them about an hour ago. Today I dyed my hair and I also used a sponge and scrubbed pretty hard at my arms. So could either of these cause the little marks to appear so quickly. I'm just looking for a little reassurance, even though I'm not in full panic mode like I would have been a month or so back.
