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 🤣

If that had fallen out of you fanjo, it would be a sweet little Sootikins.
Google at your peril. Grin

Absolutely DO NOT Google it! You can't unsee it!

@3Britnee

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.

I get that but in my breasts

Quite horrible to hear about,and to see. !

But how did it smell?

@barkingfly

Quite possibly worse than a teenage boys bedroom on a very hot day!!
3Britnee · 06/06/2021 06:13

Mine was in my armpit.

3Britnee · 06/06/2021 06:13

That was to Losttheplotyearsago. Bloody quote doesn't always show up.

Ooh this is fabulous.

In my house nobody will watch Dr Pimple Popper with me, so I am quite relieved that so many of us have some odd pleasure from posts.

I can add one. I keep getting an abcess in my gum, above my front tooth, have it lanced etc but it keeps coming back. So it was quite bad again a few weeks ago so made a note to myself to phone dentist on the Monday. On Sunday I roped the DC to come with me to a shop as I bought something heavy. Ds22 was sitting in front seat of car with me. As I started the car, I was turned to him, and this access just burst, but unfortunately for ds it spurted out in his direction. It was revolting, but omg the relief! My 22 year old son nearly cried though....

It is back again now so perhaps I should go lift something heavy to see if that was was spurred the evacuation on.

Yes, proper grim, sweaty and ripe!

Keep poking but no further action. My belly button goes right back, impossible for me to get to the end. Who knows what else is lurking!

Love hearing about all your pops, it's so satisfying.

I also relive the day I was getting up from the floor, put my hand down to push me up, bent my wrist a bit forward and felt the big ganglion I had pop! No gunk to see but the weirdest sensation!!

OP I did not know ganglions could pop on their own. I'd love to try and pop mine but even thinking about it makes me feel funny 😆

BashfulClam · 06/06/2021 11:03

My belly button is really deep and it gets minging sometimes …I can only hope this happens!! I’m weird I know.

BashfulClam · 06/06/2021 11:06

I once had a big spit on my calf? Bring the sporner I am I had a good squeeze, oh it was glorious, loads of goo and then put popped a log curled hair, it was an infected ingrown hair, plucked the hair out and I had a small hole in my calf.

ForkedIt · 06/06/2021 11:12

So jealous.
I have a pretty deep belly button and am currently pregnant, I live in hope that as it shallows out, something will appear from the depths.
Didn’t happen last time but one can hope 🤞🏻

Yeah, mine never popped out like some women's do towards the end. Not even a tiny bit. I was very disappointed, was hoping to see what was at the bottom. I think it's attached to my spine or something!
