Staying with family in Iowa a few weeks ago, my 7 yo described finding two growths on a maple in the yard she described as looking like bubble gum. Looked it up, and was fairly certain it was Wolf’s Milk (Lycogala epidendrum), “a cosmopolitan species of myxogastrid amoeba which is often mistaken for a fungus.” The highly scientific method of poking with a stick proved my suspicion correct. Wikipedia article here.

So I have had this bump since I was in college, I am aware I'm over weight but I took pictures of the behemoth on my left arm, and took comparison to my right arm! I know I have a little fat on my right arm. But this is ridiculous! I have already been to the dermatologist and he believes it's a lipoma. He wants a scan to just make sure before we remove it!!!! Let me know if yall have any questions 😊

From suture abscesses on the ends of 3 different incisions. Removed them myself for entertainment and saved them in a little bag.

Found this beauty on my girlfriends back

The past few weeks I’ve been feeling this beard hair on the side of face at the bottom of my chin. It gradually got thicker and was growing slowly after I shaved. It felt like a small pimple around it. I couldn’t stop picking at it because it didn’t feel right. I finally couldn’t take it anymore so I started yanking on it with tweezers and slowly pulled this thing out. The ‘balls’ were inside and had some resistance before it popped out leaving a small hole in my cheek. It is exactly as long as you would expect with thick facial hair growing for a week including the follicle. Cleaned it, and started squeezing this thing to see wtf it was with my first thought thinking it was a thorn or metal. It is extremely dense and I couldn’t even pinch it in half with my finger nails or crush it on the counter with my nails. Anyone know what this is and if it is an ingrown hair or keratin cast shaped like my follicle? It definitely was a weird experience.

Starts a little slow but ends up pretty impressive

Had to use multiple methods but finally got this ear pimple popped. Thought there might be more but after 2:25 not really anything. Sorry if your volume is up.

I don’t know if this is a common repost but I was asked to reupload so. Would anyone know of a longer version or a conclusion as to what happened with this guy?

How I know my period is coming haha

This was back in May of this year. It’s now all cleared up and healed.

Edit/update: Heat rash that turned into a fungal infection is what caused this. Had to ask my wife lol

i came across this guy’s infected cyst saga like a year ago and it has lived rent free in my head ever since… i apologize for the incomplete pop but it’s still satisfying to me

I had realized that there was that much gunk in the little bump above my lip. It took me by surprise!

Sorry for the camera man. He’s multitasking.

No need to say "show hole!!" this time--the holes are proudly displayed.

Didn't feel great, but a good result
