Red spot on back persistant scab please help

[Beya4567]

I noticed yesturday that i have a small scab on my back lower down towards bottom of spine i picked it and now it's red and sore however I now remember picking the same spot months back...and freaking out its a bcc or skin cancer.....I defiantly picked the same area atleast 6 months back..I'm dead and the cancer has spread everywhere I no it has

Well she seems to think it's fine...she looked at it and went that's absolutely nothing...I said its been there and forming a scab every time and she said she's been doing this fot 25 years it's a pimple and nothing

I noticed yesturday that i have a small scab on my back lower down towards bottom of spine i picked it….. from your opening post OP.

Yes and it u continue to read it..it says when I picked it. I THEN noticed i had picked the exact same spot months ago..meaning it's just scabbing and reforming and the scab isn't going away

It's probably bout the size of the tip of a pen it is tiny 🤷‍♀️

You’re probably scratching it when asleep. I’ve got multiple spots all over my body (I itch constantly, MH issue) and I pick at them. Some have been there for months now. Sometimes I realise I must have scratched one in the night as there will be blood on the sheets.

I really think the big issue here is your anxiety. I've had multiple health scares this year requiring investigation and have been terrified each time, but all have come back normal. It sparked some major health anxiety for me which I'm having therapy for and taking medication and it's helping. Id suggest you speak to your GP about that.

The thing on your back looks to me, and your GP, like a pimple. If it's still there in a month I'd go back - but try and leave it alone for that month.

Go back if it doesn't heal, I'm not going to go I to specifics as it'll make you more anxious but of it doesn't heal you go back and ask to be referred.

You post constantly about various ailments. You should probably have your internet access removed at this point tbh. It does you no good at all.

There’s nothing wrong with you physically. You need to focus on the actual problem which is overwhelming health anxiety.

we will see you back in a few months with something else.

The spot dosnt exist no. Oh sorry

That's my point it's been there for over a year as a scab....when I picked it the other day I thought to myself ive picked that before in the same place..meaning it hasn't gone away

Did your sons scab over aswell

You’re unable to think straight. At this point genuinely, MN should restrict your posting abiiity because you’ve been posting ailments for years

I’m sure you have got a spot. I’m sure it has come back. I’m sure it’ll probably come back again

Do I think you’re going to keel over and die?

unlikely.

I agree. You are wasting your life worrying that you are going to die OP. Please seek help for your health anxiety rather all these imaginary illnesses

You've been seen by a GP and told it's fine. You have a safety net of going back in a month if you feel you need to. All you need to do now is relax and get on with life. Don't waste your time with your kids worrying about an imaginary illness

I went back and saw another gp she looked at it and took a pic and said it looks like an infected follicle as it had like a little dot on it ..she wasnt concerned at all 🤦‍♀️..I just don't get why it hasn't gone away for like a year...and as for my arm she said its prob muscular but that's still not great

That’s good. You’ve had two opinions now so you now need to try to put it out of your mind.

What did she suggest to do for the I texted follicle?

Didn't suggest anything just coz of where it is it will prob Flair up and all the time ..didn't say anything just leave it alone...not normal to me tho sorry

Sorry. Auro correct at it's finest!

I was told to use Eumovate for a couple of weeks by the dermatologist when I had something similar. Try it and see if it works then go back again. GPs will usually want you to try and couple of things before referring.

I'm not really happy just to except it tho I dunno

Why you're was cancer was it

She didn't mention reffering to me or give me cream said it was so tiny and nothing

I am checked regularly for skin cancer as I've had a few. Some bumps aren't and was told to use Eumovate .

When will you be happy though, OP? What will the multiple trained healthcare professionals and the many people who commented on your posts have to say to you to to feel safe in your body? I don't think anyone can ever help you if you don't start to help yourself first. At this rate, if heaven forbid you'd ever get a real cancer diagnosis you'll likely die from a stress induced heart attack before treatment for cancer can even start... And I can guarantee you 100% your children already feel you not being present with them when you are constantly in your head. I understand the worry you have about not being there for them in the future, but what about being there now..

Sorry if this sounds insensitive but honestly it sounds like you are in constant stress at the moment. If you are going to Google cancer symptoms why not Google the effects of high stress overloading your body?

I am saying all this as someone with health anxiety and lots of medical trauma, life threatening situations and human mistakes made by medical personnel concerning myself and my children. There are no certainties. Healthcare professionals can sometimes get it wrong. The body does strange things. Untreated stress affects lifespan.

Please Please get some help for this OP, this is no way to live
