I Just got back from camping today and noticed it after showing. I took a tweezwer to remove it and it was attached. I put nail polish remover on it, waited, and pulled it. It seemed to have the head intact. then, I applied perxiode on my skin. I'm worried about contracted something.

I would contact your doctor is you develop any unusual symptoms like fever, swelling, rash, pain. Just keep a close eye on it and keep it clean. My brothers used to get tick bites when we lived out in the middle of no where and they are still alive and kickin.  Good luck.

It is hard to diagnose this, with this little bit of information. It appears that it is a blister. It may have been caused by a burn that you were unaware of, insect bite, allergic reaction to something you contacted or a wide variety of other possibilities. The fact that it is a water filled blister, tells me that the immune response is intact. This is the bodys way of forming, if you will, a protective padded bandaide. This fluid filled sack prevents harmful invaders, like dirt and germs to enter the damaged tissue. It also works to heal. The fluid is filled with many healing substances, that come to the rescue of the damaged tissue. The danger is when the blister is broken. One should never deliberately break a blister. However, if the blister breaks, one should keep the area clean and protected. Neosporin is a good antibiotic ointment to would very similar to the bodys response. It will prevent infection and promote healing. Cover the area with a sterile bandage. You never want to put a dry bandage on a seeping wound, because the fluid will dry on the badage and then pull the healed tissue off when you remove the bandage. If you have done this, soak the wound & bandage in clean & warm water for 20 minutes, then slowly remove the bandage, it should come off without pain or damage. Look for signs and or symptoms of infeaction. Reddness, swelling, pain, green drainage, increased warmth to area or unexplained fever. If the wound gets worse each day, or it not showing signs of healing with a week or 10 days. If there is any loss of functioning, like numbness, etc ...seek medical assistance at once.

girl, reach up there and pull it out. it's the same thing they would do at the doctors and this way you save some money. It probably won't come out on it's own if it hasn't already and it may fester inside of you causing a blood infection.

Yes, it's very treatable.  I don't know of anyone that has had this done that had it come back.  \n\nI know you're scared.  Stuff like this can be scary at times.  But chances are in your favor that you will be just fine.

Go to doc and have it frozen off.  You can do it yourself, there is a product that will do the same thing.

I'd bet money that its got some sort of infection. I really don't think you need to go to the dr, at least not right away.\n\ni'd take a cotton ball soaked in alcohol and clean it out once a day. Then make sure you keep it dry, try adding powder. And keep your clothes off it. Don't wear anything that clings or irritates the area. And if you can let it air out.\n\nIf it persists for more then about a week, or gets really red and or swollen, i'd go to the dr.

My daughter had a bite like that. I took her to the doc and he said it was from an (((((EARWIG))))) which is a bug that lives in trees and has pinchers in the front AND the back of the body so it can bite it's victem twice at the same time. The doc took a skalpel and cut open the pimple looking part of the bite to release the (((((POISON))))) and she was fine. A few weeks later I got bit on my leg by one while I was sleeping and I skipped the doc and lanced it myself. I have two little scars where it had bit me but I got the poison out and I'm fine too. The poison is a yellow/green color. Make sure you get it ALL out or you WILL have to go see a doc. Lance it till you see plain red blood without the yellow/green color.

Put some antibiotic ointment on it. If it is not better after two days, I would go get it checked. I wouldn`t worry about having the baby`s nail removed just yet. My daughter got one. and it was bad. It cleared up. You might have to go to the doctor and get an antibiotic to give her.

It could be a boil from sweat and irritation. You should see a doctor, they may have to cut it open and drain it, and pack it for a little bit. If its not too bad you may be perscribed antibiotics to remove the infection. You can try placing warm compresses on the site to see if you can bring it to a head. Then attempt to drain it yourself. Be carful because you may cause a worse infection if your not clean or careful.

Definitely, get it looked at by a doctor ASAP.  It could be the start of skin cancer which is easily treatable if not left too long.  If left it can spread and be deadly.  Not trying to scare you, but overexposure, particularly burning and lingering coloured spots point to something not right.  Rule it out right away...

Ok I have gotten those in the past its not an over nite thing but go to hi health or a health food store and get   super Lysine Plus cream , i got that put it on and leave it, you can even do it under make up, also at nite before you go to bed, i always got a q tip and put peroxide on it, that helps dry it up, you will notice it will start to scab this is normal , what i did was got a tweezer and kind of starting picking the scabs off, i know that sounds weird but i say this because it has been years of practice, so when i get one this is what i d exactly hope it goes away..........

It's the flesh-eating virus.  Get your leg amputated immediately!  J/K  I get little patches of the same thing on occasion just under my armpits.  I just apply a little Vaseline cream, and it clears up in a day or two.  No pain, no itching or irration.  Just a little strange.

Usually you get this on the feet, though once I did get a solitary circle on my arm.  Since I live in a very humid semitropical environment, I shrugged and did not think much of it.\n\nAs it's a fungus, yes, it could be passed on, I think, though contact with surfaces or fabrics which have the spores. You want to bathe in water with a strong bleach solution, and pass a little time in between, in the sun.  Also, apply the typical creams meant for this, which you can get either over the counter or by prescription.\n\nI very much doubt that it is pinworm, since this is an intestinal infection.  But you know, how many of us here have enough medical training, and even then we cannot give a proper diagnosis.  Go to a doctor and get it checked out, but in the meantime, don't worry so much.  The worry is probably worse than whatever you have.

you should probably ask your doctor, and it could be something serious or a skin irratation. eaither way just to be safe see a docotor as soon as you can

It depends on how big of a mess you make of the 'surgical site'...and congrats on having the temerity to pull that sucker out yourself! \nSterilize the tweezers (use rubbing alcohol), sterilize the area (rubbing alcohol) and sometimes it helps to numb it first with an ice cube (then clean the area). After you've pulled that bad boy out, dab it with hydrogen peroxide, then put some neosporin on it and a small bandage for a day. \nYou should be OK in a few days.

I've had something that sounds like what you have a couple of times. It was on my outer labia and both times It ended up being an infected hair follicle. In my case, I could see an actual small hair sticking up near the middle of the bump with a little bit of white around it. First I wiped the area with a little bit of alcohol and a Q-tip to cleanse the area. Then I took a pair of tweezers and pulled the piece of hair out (pinching the skin up with my other hand). As soon as I pulled the piece of hair out, pus came out. I squeezed it gently (as it was painful) to get the pus out (until I saw a bit of blood, so I knew I had all the pus out). Then I took a Q-tip and a little alcohol and wiped the area to clean the spot and put a fresh pair of cotton undies on. I've heard of people getting ingrown hairs there as well, so it could be something a doctor might need to help you with if that's the case. If you think it might be a pimple, you might try putting warm wet compresses on the area. Don't squeeze though, as if you don't see any type of white head you could make it worse (it could be a boil).
