NilsO:
I am not a MD, but Hanners' condition looks like Seborrheic Keratoses. Initially, I would think Hanners is too young to have this condition, but according to WebMD, it can happen also with younger people.
As an old fart, I have had this condition several times. It is harmless, and can be removed relatively painless with cryotherapy. But if you worry about melanomas, they can look scary, and your MD should have a look at them.
Anyway, back to Hanners. She now has a beginning panic attack, and needs help. I would guess the rest of the week is needed to calm Hanners down.

Maybe she starts brooding about all the things that she hasn't done yet because she is letting her fears paralyse her. So she writes a "things to do before I die" list. Some are sweet ('Have a first kiss'), some are silly ('Eat a fantastically unhealthy but delicious meal') and some show her wilder side ('Learn to pole dance').

This is a very good and plausible theory. Although Hanners has progressed a lot throughout the series, there are a lot of phobias still remaining. My opinion is that Hanners will not be cured before she finally gets laid. A lot of hygienic phobias can be cured by irresistible libido. She may need this scare to finally break out of her shell.

Catch-22, surely?

I hate it when that happens. you go to scratch an itch, and your fingers come out coated in dry blood and you think "sonnuvabitch, when did that happen?"
Welu:
NilsO, OCD and mental health in general is not something that has an easy cure. People live with their mental health issues their whole lives and often only manage to find coping mechanisms that make it easier to function in daily life. Saying someone can just be "cured", especially with something as condescending as "loosen up and get laid", is ableist and ridiculously ignorant.
