I have been a completely different person since I had a lump on my chest that turned out to be a lipoma, ever since that day I thought it was cancerous. From then I developed a fear of lymphoma, testicular cancer, colon cancer (this was my longest fear). At this point I developed weakness and twitching all over. I was reassures by the doctor that I was ok. That fear went away and then the next year was a brain tumor because I couldn't sleep and I had constant headaches for about a month and nothing was getting rid of them. At this point I had twitches also that seem to have decreased in severity. I had a ct scan done and all was clear, I was so happy. A few days later I developed cold patches on my face and the odd sensation of water sprinkle on my face and it dripping down my face. Doctor thought it was nothing and I ignored it and it went away. I finally felt like myself for 3 weeks when I developed a fear of my heart and how I thought I had problems with it. I had trouble breathing and a tight chest feeling that would come and go. Went to the hospital, had all the tests and was good to go. That went away a day after reassurance...but guess what? The cold feelings came back along with a crawling skin sensation that i had before. I also get water stream feelings on my temple that van stream down to my cheek. This happens on both sides but more on my left. I cannot shake this feeling! I have self diagnosed myself with MS because I have a hard time believing anxiety can cause a dripping water sensation on my face. I must add this has happened to my neck once as well. This cold sensation has come after stress periods but it won't subside now. It's been a week of on and off feelings of this even when I'm calm. It's worse when I'm calm and doing nothing. My life has become a constant worry every since that first lump scare. I haven't been myself in so long and I hate this. I cannot get excited for Christmas I'm just waiting until Jan 3rd for my MRI. I have heard people with ms often get this water feeling and I'm my wits end. I'm a 21 year old male with health anxiety and according to my doctor my bloods are fine but i don't know if that just means within range...could be low.
I have had constant health anxiety since I had chest pains a couple of months ago. I actually still get them but was told acid reflux, costochindritis, an ulcer. Now they think it's due to posture and I'm in physical therapy. I had the EKGs, CT scan with contrast, x Ray, and stress test with more EKGs and all were normal. I don't have high blood pressure or diabetes. I worried and googled heart attack symptoms over and over. Then I worried I had breast cancer because of lumps. I had a clean mammogram and an ultrasound. I didn't get any reassurance on what the lumps are other than fatty breast tissue. I was taking a lot of ibuprofen for the pain and the had bilirubin in my urine. I had a urine 24 hour creatine test that I had to carry my urine in a jug for an entire day which was embarrassing at work. During that time I thought I had liver problems and kidney disease. They did an abdominal ultrasound and checked my organs functions. No masses even though I was worried about tumors. I found out I have a bit of a fatty liver which caused me to lose about 35 pounds now and eat a lot less calories every day. Sometimes I eat a can of vegetables for dinner. I have headaches, dizziness, flashes of light in my eyes so now I worry about aneurysms which do run in my family and brain tumors because I googled the flashing lights could be a sign. I've been to an optometrist and a neurologist and they didn't see anything. I've had an MRA to check blood flow in my brain due to the dizziness and headaches and I have an MRI next week now to check that. I now have neck pain and clavicle pain and I also feel a burning sensation quite a bit. I had started going to a chiropractor which helped with the pressure in my head and the dizziness but then I stopped going because of the chest pain. I also have a scope the week after next to see about the ulcer and if anything else is wrong there. My point is and sorry for the lengthy response but yes one thing happens and then a spiral of anxiety follows.
It is the most annoying symptom because it happens on my face. I can't control it
Maybe try a different doctor that will listen to you and try to figure out what's going on.

It seems that your problem is Anxiety a Lipoma is an area, lump with fluid and fat in it, they can insert a hollow needle into it and take fluid off, when they look at it through a microscope it is basically water with fatty lumps that are generally very small, this lump can get bigger although it can be drained or cut to clear the fluid out
Our Pax had one last week and the vet did the test and confirmed what it was in a matter of mins.
A fear of cancer is common with Anxiety sufferers, you are very young and your Doctor will keep an eye on you
