Does anyone else with health anxiety obsess over their body or constantly check it?

I used to obsess over my leg when I had varicose veins , look in the mirror ,take pictures, check everytime I could, then had an operation to clear it , but still constantly check to see if it worked and see if it came back, after an abit of cbt I was cured of the worry, but recently had a set back after feeling good about obsessing over another thought, I no this prob not helping but just wanted to let u no ur not alone

Thank you. I check my body about 5 times a day, its becoming a routine.
