Later that day, Philipps returned to Instagram, revealing that her mom Barbara Philipps expressed some concerns.

“This is what I get for posting that thirst trap. This text from my mom,” she wrote alongside a screenshot of their text exchange, in which Barbara said she was worried after a fan pointed out a piece of skin on the right side of her daughter’s body.

“Biz-Someone commented on your insta pic about your right underarm looking swollen and it does,” the text read. “Please take a look and get to a Dr. if it is.”

“Stop. It’s fat. Seriously stop it,” the actress wrote back.

Barbara’s concern comes just months after Philipps opened up about arecent health scare.

In an interview withHealthmagazine for its June cover, Philipps revealed that doctors recently found a cyst that “looked a little weird” when she went in for a mammogram. A biopsy on the cyst ultimately returned clean.

“My feeling is, there’s no reason to get upset until they tell you to because it’s a waste of energy — you can’t change the results,” Philipps said at the time. “When those scary thoughts creep in, I say, ‘I see you, thoughts. I am going to put you away in this little cabinet.’ "
