Don’t know if I’m over reacting I do suffer
with health anxiety and everyone in my family thinks I’m being silly :( as usual .. but my 3 year old son has a mark on the back of his neck and it doesn’t disappear there’s a tiny bit on the side of his neck too he’s had it before on his arm .. but 111 said it was just trauma from playing .. but it’s really got to me and I could burst into tears after reading the internet I don’t even think it’s pastachiea.. does anyone have any ideas please??? Xx

Yes he’s fine in himself he’s playing .. he’s got around 5 all in a line, that’s why I think it’s from scratching are his coat that goes around his neck to keep him warm! I’m going to send a picture to the GP in the morning and see what they say about it ..

@Cookie2204 Google is notorious for bringing up the C word, no matter what you type in it usually mentions that as a worst case scenario. I'd speak to your GP tomorrow just to give yourself some peace of mind and maybe speak to them about the health anxiety too. They might be able to make a referral for you :) have you ever tried medication for your mental health? That's been a big help for me too
