Growing up sucks

So for the past couple of weeks I have been getting hives (or so I thought) on my chest but refused to go see a doctor because I have been made to feel like a hypochondriac because of my cancer diagnosis a few years ago. I thought that it was small enough that I could just take care of it on my own. That was until this morning when I woke up and the hives had spread and my chest was very red. I toughed up and made an appointment to go see a doctor and low and behold those hives are really the side effects of ringworm that I have had on the back of my neck for, well I don’t even know how long because I can’t see the back of my neck.

1) How the heck does someone get this and not know they have it, and 2) HOW THE HELL DID I GET IT????

Anywho, I felt like I needed to share this because I am not only pissed with myself for waiting 3 weeks to go see a doctor but also because I feel like if I don’t deem something serious enough, I don’t feel like I should see a doctor even though I probably should, as seen by the results I have been given today.
