Sporner alert...AIBU To share something super disgusting...

[MostTacticalNameChange]

I have a teeny but very deep belly button. It also folds a bit there after pregnancy and weight loss/gain/loss/gain so occasionally it gets a bit stinky and sore so I spend the next week scrupulously cleaning/drying it and putting in antifungal cream.

It's recently been hurting again and seeping a bit 🤮 so been doing the usual routine. I have just cleaned it and sprayed antifungal fizzing spray into it and it felt a bit funny, I looked down and without any squeezing a 2cm long bullet shaped piece of white gunk shot out and onto the floor.

Bit of googling and dissection later...it was an umbolith...a belly button stone!! Keratin, sebum and hair had made a hard pellet. So stinky, so disgusting...so satisfying!! That it fired out on it's own too!

Anyone else impressed and thoroughly disgusted too. AIBU to share 🤣

It's definitely more of a ricotta texture. Feta is fine!!

That's fascinating op

Should worn people that people are intrigued and go to google not envy

Like the time I picked a scab and it had a deep whitehead attached

Oh my I just remembered the time in school I picked a scab in my ear and attached to it was a mohassive whitehead, it reminded me of if you take of the layers of a pickled onion to the one right in the middle, that shape. Oh so satisfying. (Was over 20 years ago and I still remember)

@copperpotsalot

I'm really upset that I googled this

Omg I'm howling at this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm upset that I've never had a whitehead under a scab! Not that I opened this thread 😂

I have had a big fuck off spot that when squeezed, or popped out more like, left a hole - and what came out was hard & waxy, though.

Good God. That is vile. You win.

Congratulations, OP!

This will be a day to remember and look back on fondly.

Incredible!

MOTHER OF GOD

Fuck me. I love it.

This is freakin' fabulous. I'm off to 'YouTube' what ever the hell that is. I need to see more!

@MimsyBorogroves

I want one.

My old belly button piercing occasionally gives up a good line in squeezability but this is next level.

Oh yes, mine does this too. I can feel a hard lump under the skin when it's ready then I squeeze it a bit and once it's partially exposed I pull it out with a pair of tweezers. It's very satisfying 😀

All any of us can really say, OP, is thank you for putting this on AIBU
..for the traffic... thereby giving more of us the opportunity to share your quality sporn this fine saturday night.

Bravo!

Jealous

I'm regularly removing dog hairs from my belly button.

I did see a bit on the medical side of YouTube about a barber developing a pilonidal sinus in his from a client's hair...

I kind of regret googling videos, but couldn't not watch....

Fuck. I feel like you should preserve it in a jar.

OP, you fucking legend 💖

I’ve just checked my belly button for cat hair..nothing.

DH pulls a lump of fluff out of his belly button every day.

Amazing. Bravo

DH had the start of something like this a few years ago, but it was thinner and...drier? Kind of like a shed snake's skin I must actually get him to let me have a rummage around in there again!

At least it wasn't a sootikin! Now that is one bone i still have to pick with mumsnet. One thing I wish I had never seen a thread about and googled! Thanks mumsnet!

I once had an infected blackhead in my ear, just outside the entrance, my god it hurt but the relief and satisfaction of it popping and all draining out was glorious. This was about 6 years ago but I still remember

Ohmygod I've recently been struggling with my belly button being a bit smelly and a little bit sticky at times and wondering what to do with it. How bizarre!
