Hello :-)

We all have lumps and bumps on our bodies and if we go searching for them we will find them

Only if you find a lump that looks sinister , gets bigger , changes colour hurts do they need checking out and then usually they are nothing

So unless you have one that you feel there is need to be concerned about , it sounds like this is your anxiety and the best way to try and deal with it is stop searching for them because when we have a fear we will always find what our heads are fearing and think the worse as that is what Health Anxiety is like and how it keeps a hold of us , not easy I know but try to ignore it and every time you feel you want to start looking distract yourself with something else :-)

Take Care x
