Wtf is this?

[StinkyBumFartyBaby]

It's on my forearm. Been there about a fortnight. Sore to the touch. Hard. Awaiting GP phone call next Monday. Not been stung, i'd definitely remember!

Looks like molluscum contagiosum but a single spot is odd.

I agree it’s like Mollusum.
DD only had 1 spot for about a month then she got 3 smaller ones. Then the big one got infected and had to be cleaned out and it went pretty quick, as did the others

Oh how disappointing. So mundane! Was hoping it would be something more interesting!

Thanks anyway

Pop it and see...

STICK A PIN IN IT STICK A PIN IN IT!!!!

(Obviously don’t really.)

(…unless you want to…)

No need to stick a pin in you can see where to squeeze 🤓

I have tried to pop it, just not happening. I haven't stuck a pin in it but I have tried to rweeze out the tiny white bit in the middle. Still, nothing doing.its quite solid. If it is MC, how likely am I to give it to the kids?

Could it be a cherry angioma?

Ive got one if these, had it for about a month. The damn thing is growing, its itchy, sore and I keep catching it so I'm keeping a plaster on it for the time being!

OH was GP - he used to say that the advice not to pop these was wrong. His view was that popping some would release the contents around and about and initiate a stronger immune response.

I'll have to be brave!

@SchoolWillBeUpShitCreek I think if it's been there a while and is still growing it should probably be looked at by a Dr.

Been referred to hospital, two week rule!

@SchoolWillBeUpShitCreek how did you get on at hospital? I hope it was nothing sinister

A whirlwind...saw consultant, he said "pop next door" .
Was whipped off immediately. Squamous cell carcinoma. Thanks for asking @Babymamaroon all is good!

@SchoolWillBeUpShitCreek am very pleased to hear it was a good outcome! Good job you got it checked 

@StinkyBumFartyBaby did you get yours checked out?
