What worries you about it?

It's a whitehead. Squeeze it and post a pic please

Slideawaysally · 07/08/2026 17:26

No it been there a long time, it was tiny like a blocked pore but in the last few months has gotten bigger.

It's milia then and you won't be able to squeeze it. It's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Had u been squeezing it when you took the picture as there is a red ring around it?

I have one of those, it’s like a whitehead but right under my skin. I remember it showing up 2 years ago and it just wouldn’t pop. I didn’t realise Google it at the time and it was nothing to be concerned about then I’ve sort of forgotten about it. I’d maybe speak to the pharmacist for peace of mind, see what they advise.

Sterilise a long thin needle and gently poke it. You should get a little white globule out and it'll heal up.

If it’s got a red ring around it please go and get it checked. Very similar to one I had which was pre cancerous and the doctor removed it really easily.

Ipsevenenabibas · 07/08/2026 17:51

So it's always had that red ring around it?

They burn it off there and then. Really quick and left no scar
