Hi sorry if this is the wrong post but I was wondering if anyone could help me, I’ve been diagnosed with health anxiety which now makes me reluctant to contract the Drs incase they fob me off saying it’s anxiety, I don’t know if it’s dimpling or stretch marks will attach pic, the red dot I noticed last night and today I’ve had very sore (like burning sensation) in upper arm underneath

The lines look like stretch marks.
The spot just looks like a little blood spot (a burst blood vessel)
You arm might be sore if you bruised it and that’s why you have the spot

Doesn’t look or sound like it’s anything. I’d leave it a week.

It looks like stretch marks ( looks like they've been there a long time) and the spot looks like a Campbell de Morgan spot, they're harmless.

However, they're not painful- maybe you have hurt your arm and only noticed the other things because of that.

Stretch marks...normal and natural.

Red dot, bloody hell, I’ve got loads of these, not one bit worried about them, wouldn’t waste a Drs appointment about them, had them years.
Just a little burst blood vessel, totally harmless.

@partyatthepalace @cathyandclare @imaginethemdragons

Thank you for your replies I'm just wondering what are normal lumps and bumps and what's not, I'm feeling ball type lumps which is freaking me out, would it be worth getting checked? My granny died of BC so there is W family history

I know you said you don’t want to but I would just book a gp appointment, they’ll be able to check you out especially if you think there may be a new lump. It’s probably nothing and they do look like stretch marks but there is no harm in getting it checked especially the lump.

@Wonderwalk it's not the stretch marks I'm worried about I've had them since I was a teenager it's to the right of it I don't know if you can see but it's like a lump protruding but I'm not sure if it's just my tissue or actually a lump I'll try and get a better picture

I ended up going to the drs and was put on a waiting list to get it checked. It took two years to be seen. Turned out just to be fatty breast tissue
