I suffer a bad health anxiety. It all started about 2 months back, when I thought I had breast cancer. I had some pains in my armpits, they were just pains which were on and off. One of my breasts had a bit of dry skin on it (its been there for a few years). My Anxiety feelings were 'your dying from cancer'
Now I still get some pains there. The skin is peeling off, the dry skin part and my breasts feel a bit tender. (Sore when touched, but doesn't happen all the time)

One thing my dad reckoned is because we moved to a different part of the UK. (Ive been on holiday here, never lived down here 24/7 before. In factm never moved in my life)

Im not sure what to do. I've seen the dr and she said dry skin on my breast after my thoughts from 2 months ago. Im still worried about it Dx. Another dr thinks (and gave me tablets for it) it could be my stomach causing pain.

Im a female and 19 years old.

I am no expert on cancer but I am versed enough to know that dry skin is not cancer. I am assuming you refer to skin cancer since breast cancer doesn't give symptoms like that

I get dry skin in the winter and if you are in the UK, I imagine winter is setting in.

Moles larger than a pencil eraser that tend to change shape and color are what you need to check out

Hope this helps and welcome to the Forum
