Hello everyone :)
I've come here to look for support in the hope it'll help my anxiety subside.
Today I went to my new gp after many different locum drs, she had terrible English and I cannot speak a word of Flemish and so it was very difficult, I was actually there about a rash that seems like acne (I have never suffered from spots ever, I am assuming this could be stress/anxiety caused) and I was going to get onto the anxiety after spending weeks, months building the courage to do so but she shushed me and hurried me away with not even a prescription for the rash.
Can I just ask for reassurance? I can feel an attack coming on, I've got a racing heart (101bpm), feel sick, headache and breathlessness :/
1) I've put fucidine cream (antibiotic ointment) on the acne is this okay?
2) I've convinced myself I may have herpes but the only symptom I have is on single spot like sore red lump on my labia majora(?) it's not blistered or more than one, so surely this isn't herpes?
3) I changed the contraceptive pill from Yasmin to microgynon 30 myself from previous supplies because I believe my cevix is eroded and that's causing the spotting between periods. Is this okay?
I'm sorry this is a terrible way to introduce myself I've just not had a good day. I think this health anxiety has developed more so since I broke my leg a couple of moths ago and am stil in recovery.
But I've lost all hope on finding help because the dr today was useless and I felt embarrassed and nervous just talking to her and burst out crying for no reason. There's quite a few other problems I've been having but these are at the forefront of my mind and are causing me the most grief and I don't have anyone to get reassurance from and sometimes that helps so much.
Thank you for any help you can give xo
