What is it 😥.

Please excuse the stretch marks. There's nothing I can do about them.

It's about 1cm tall. And isn't hard. It doesn't hurt much either.

Can't really tell you what it might be but I'd be getting that seen at the Drs as soon as I could. Has it literally just appeared?

LoafofSellotape · 21/05/2019 19:00

Squeeze it

LoafofSellotape · 21/05/2019 19:01

Video it when you do it

LoafofSellotape · 21/05/2019 19:01

Post video on MN

Nothing happens when I squeeze it. There's no head. No lump.

It's turned up yesterday but I think it's bigger and more sticky outy.

I have had this before, it usually turns out to be a spot that looks weird because it's on a stretch mark.

Ploppymoodypants · 21/05/2019 19:02

Yep squeeze it. ( and post a pic on here 😁).

In all honestly I would squeeze it or prick it, if it was on me. But I can never resist these things.

theorchidwhisperer · 21/05/2019 19:02

A spot or ingrowing hair in scar tissue (stretch marks).

I used to get these. The skin doesn't behave like normal tight tissue and you can get a saggy lump!

reefedsail · 21/05/2019 19:02

Ingrowing hair?

Belle89 · 21/05/2019 19:02

Is this on a stretch mark? Had similar on a 7year old stretch mark, it burst was like a giant zit Confused

ronaldbiliusweasley · 21/05/2019 19:04

I've squeezed it as hard as I physically can. I might stab it and then squeeze it.

Got a feeling it will just bleed though as it really does feel like normal stretch mark skin. No lump no hardness or even firmness. It's just a lump that disappears when I press it.

Yes it's right in the middle of quite a thick stretch mark.

AND FILM IT!!!!!

HoneysuckIejasmine · 21/05/2019 19:08

Looks like an ingrown hair to me.

TheFaerieQueene · 21/05/2019 19:08

It’s a nipple!

SmellMySmellbow · 21/05/2019 19:09

Hernia? Don't stab it ffs!

SinkGirl · 21/05/2019 19:11

I see a dark patch on the left, which may be the head (I’ve had boils like this in the past). Definitely worth having it looked at if you’re worried though.

Katastrophy · 21/05/2019 19:19

Another one saying hernia. Don't stab it. Get some medical advice

SandAndSea · 21/05/2019 19:21

I would stick a needle in it if it was me. Keep us posted, won't you?

pitterpatterbaby · 21/05/2019 19:22

For context whereabouts is it on your body can't tell?

SandAndSea · 21/05/2019 19:22

Oo! Just read the hernia warnings. Definitely ignore me.

Cherrysoup · 21/05/2019 19:24

Do you 666 anywhere on your body?! 😂

Please don’t stab it, get it looked at by the GP.

Wauden · 21/05/2019 19:26

I tried not to look but could not resist!

EffYouSeeKaye · 21/05/2019 19:27

Cyst or hernia. I wouldn’t try and burst it, unless you enjoy Russian roulette...

Off to the GP.

PeoniesarePink · 21/05/2019 19:34

It's a boil. Put a hot flannel on top, as hot as you can bear and repeat. Then dry and cover copiously in Sudocrem. Usually takes a few days for a head to appear and then relief comes!
