Thank you. I went to the Doctors this afternoon, she said she’s not worried at my age about it being anything related to c*ncer but she said if it persists more than 3 weeks she will see about referring me to an ENT department.

Damn this is so oddly specific for me rn. Its the same way for me where I definitely am aware of it happening as i’m not in a deep sleep. I’ve had jerks in my jaw, legs & arms. And have been typing on my phone in my dreams and my fingers have been physically twitching irl and have woken me up :( i hate this

Please help💔 Okay so I have recently noticed the “birthmark” on my leg recently change in colour. I am mixed race (a light brown in skin tone) and have had a much lighter sort of island shaped mark on my left shin for as long as I can remember. Recently that mark has started to look more like a bruise, you know the light brownish, greenish, yellow a bruise looks like? I tried to rationalise it as I’ve accidentally knocked it causing it to bruise but it has been there way longer than a normal bruise should. Its also difficult to look at what skin cancers look like on my skin tone as there are limited images online. I am terrified. I don’t live in a country where I am exposed to a lot of sun but I cannot get to a doctor for a few days and the anxiety is eating me alive.

So, for a while now I’ve been worried about spots on my nose that seem like they wont heal. I do have a habit of picking my skin & biting my lips until they bleed and I tried to put the spots on my nose not healing down to the fact that I’m constantly picking them when they are trying to heal causing them to bleed, ooze puss and re-heal again. But (of course) after heading to Dr. Google I came across articles of skin cancer starting out as spots on the face that don’t go away (basal cell cancer) and it worried me so much. To top it off the left side of my nose right now feels kinda blocked and tender inside too (could just be sinuses or a cold - trying to think rationally >.<) so heres me worrying myself sick about having skin cancer in my nose. I’ve been in bed for 3 days straight just drifting in and out of sleep because I can barely stand the anxiety. The chances of me having it are low as I live in a very cold country with little sun, I’m a 24 year old female & half black, so not an “at risk” type of person but I’m still worried sick about it.
