You may obsess over any part of your body, but common features people may obsess about include:
- Nose
- Hair
- Skin
- Complexion
- Wrinkles
- Acne and blemishes
- Baldness
- Breast size
- Muscle size
- Genitalia
The body feature you focus on may change over time. You may be so convinced about your perceived flaws that you become delusional, imagining something about your body that's not true, no matter how much someone tries to convince you otherwise.
