Anyone had one? I am thinking that is what this is. Going to my GP tomorrow so I can get a referral to a specialist.

Has looked like a scab that was freshly picked for the past two weeks, with the exception of a day or two where it looked more like a mosquito bite.

I have never had one, but a good dermatologist should be able to take care of that. I hear they are nothing to worry about these days as long as you get them taken care of.

Thanks, bro.

When it first appeared, I thought it was a pimple that was impossible to pop. The best way to describe it is as if you had picked a scab that had started to clot. Kind of gooey, but not really draining.

Yeah, read it’s pretty much something they dig out, but can be tissue damaging if it’s left untreated for too long.

I’ll keep the thread updated in case anyone experiences anything similar

I’ve had a few. That looks suspicious, definitely see the dermatologist. They’re super low risk of metastasis... but it’s best to remove them before they enlarge as they scar pretty bad.

They gave me a local, then used a scoop-like scalpel to dig them out. Burned/cauterized it up and it was a done deal. Looks like cigars put out on my skin... constantly itching too.

You’ll be fine bro. Shop around for a good looking doc... I found a cute Harvard educated one who gets to check out my nekkid body and feel me up 2x a year :32 (17):

I had a large Basel cell spot removed earlier this year. My looked like eczema...

I had it for years and thought it was a rash that wouldn’t go away, anyway they cut it all out. I also had to have a skin graft off of my quad. Good scar. Best of luck brother!

What is it with these hot dermatologist chics anyway? Seems like it must be a prerequisite to becoming one.

Then they strip you down and pretty much every chick in the building seems to have a reason to have to come in the room.

I'm going to see mine for my acne tomorrow. I'll report back if anything suspicious happens.

Eh, I’d rather have a hot proctologist.

Well the real doc, yes, I just can't guarantee the that she would do what it seems like you're hoping for here.

The fake doc, well yeah she will take care of you.
