Red spots.. health anxiety taking over!!
Posted , 2 users are following.
so I posted a few days ago regarding all the symptoms I get etc with health anxiety.. but I still panic about some things, like I'm obsessed with checking my skin and now I'm convinced I'm seeing bruises that arent even there.. however I have got these.. I believe I did have a few before I gave birth but since I've had my son 7 weeks ago I have these tiny little blood spots.. doctor has checked them out via video call and doesn't seem concerned but I still cant help but worry - blooming google! 😕 I've attached a picture.. does anyone else have these? it's my second child I've just had but this time they are all over my arms, a few on the chest and belly.. they are tiny.. chest and belly ones are slightly bigger.. not itchy and dont disappear.. with my health anxiety I cant help but think the worst!!

i can completely relate to your worries , I have had little spots like this on my arms, I googled it and completely freak out as I also had a load of bruised on me .
turns out most of my bruises were from lifting my babies pram etc into the boot on my car and hitting my legs with his car seat when carting him.
I have had the red dots on my arms a number of times , it has been from carrying my babys car seat holding it on my arm . have you been carrying anything heavy in your arms that may have caused this ? these tiny red spots can often be cause by sometimes heave pressing against your skin

unfortunately no heavy lifting, they are all over my arms, chest and belly. I've got my post natal check today (although its over the phone because of this virus going around) I'm going to mention my concerns to her and hopefully they'll see me because more and more are appearing and its driving me insane 😦
