I wondered if anyone could tell me what they think this is. It looks a bit like a small bruise in colour but it's not. It's like something is stuck under the skin, it's like a little lump but not if that makes sense. I have tried mag sulph and nothing goes anywhere so it's not really like a spot. You can see the tiny pin prick type thing that feels dry and it looks like a tiny opening except nothing goes in or out.

Looks like an ingrown hair under the skin. Just go and show the practice nurse at your GP - will put your mind at rest.

Would it feel like a lump under the skin?

It could if it has collected sebum in the blocked pore.

Molluscum contagiosum?

I've got something like this, doctor didn't have a clue. Is it itchy? I got given a steroid cream.

Hmmm have you tried stabbing with a pin?

Supermagicsmile · 20/05/2017 22:48

Not itchy no and definetly not
Molluscum contagiosum. I googled the ingrown hair and it does look most like that although not infected. I didn't know my boobs had hairs big enough to grow in! Blush
