Anyone know what this is?

It’s on DD’s (age 4) ankle. If it was on me, I’d probably squeeze it to see what happens but she says it hurts when I try. Trying to work out if if will go away on its own or if it deserves a trip to the GP. Two pics attached (hopefully!)

I thought skin tag but is there a little head on it?

Molluscum.

Looks a bit like molluscum. Is it completely round? Does she have more than 1?

Be SO careful if it is molluscum as they are super contagious and a bugger to treat. Cover with a plaster as it spreads on fabrics, water and contact. GPS are reluctant to do anything and they eventually go away after like 2 years! Definitely treat now before it spreads. I used ACV on a cotton bud, covered with a plaster. Eventually there will be a black dot in the middle and it will scab and die.

I went a bit OTT but it absolutely ravaged my household for months Angry

Omzlas, yes, there is a little head.

I’ve just googled molluscum, it does look like some of the pics online. She only has one spot, and yes, it’s round

I have just added apple cider vinegar to my online shopping order!

My son had one of those. I squeezed it and a little round ball/cyst thing popped out and it never came back. Never realised how contagious they are as we've never had one since!
