as i’m showering tonight, i’m washing my armpits and i feel a very tiny lump. i immediately think it’s a tick, so i panicked and began pulling it. as i’m pulling it, it doesn’t want to come off my skin, identical to that of a tick. when i finally pull it off and observe it, it ends up being a skin tag. (at least i think, my anxiety won’t let me be 100% sure, but i try not to think about it.) i got so anxious i had ticks on me that i ended up shaving both of my armpits completely.
now when i put on deodorant it kind of stings, but at least that sting gives me peace of mind.
