lol hypochondriasis

i have decided to list some of my dumb medical conditions. lol.

reynaud's syndrome -- the capillaries in my toes and sometimes fingers constrict when its even a little bit cold outside
confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (aka gougerot-carteaud syndrome) -- sometimes my armpits get a rash that looks like giraffe skin
vitiligo -- most recent diagnosis! the streaks of white hair on my scalp are due to lazy melanocytes
plantar fasciitis -- my feet hurt from being on my feet all day and weighing about 10 lbs more than i probably should

this came to mind because my mom just flash-diagnosed me with vitiligo because one of my white streaks was showing, and then i thought about all the other useless diagnoses i have. gotta love having doctors for parents.
