NSFW?! What The Hell Is This On My Back?

RoveWolf · 10-09-2007, 03:58 AM

Hello all.

Well I was just tucking my boxers into my bottoms and all of a sudden I felt a lump on the back of my lower back. I went into the bathroom and had a quick look in the mirror and seen this bloody thing on the back of me. What the hell is it?

Anyone got any ideas? I had a little poke / squeeze on it thinking it might be a large spot but the lump / bump feels more under the skin than on it. I got a little blood out of it but I wouldn't press too hard because it was quite painful. Is it just a large bite of some kind?

Any help / comments on this would be greatly appreciated as I'm a tad concerned.

Rove.

No one here is a doctor, I think you should go see one and he will give you the correct answer.

Yeah I plan to first thing in the morning but seeing as though it's 4am, I'm highly tired, concerned and eagerly awaiting my GP to open I thought I'd ask here incase anyone else has any sort of experience or familiarity with something that looks like this.

Sorry for posting it. It just kind of shocked the hell out of me when I noticed it.

It's not a pimple by any chance that popped is it?

Could be a tick or some other kind of parasite? Possibly a spider bite? Definitely go to the doctor ASAP.

If you have it, pour some hydrogen peroxide on it to try and sanitize it. Rubbing alcohol works pretty well too. I would not suggest pressing on it or digging at it, if it is a bug it may try to dig deeper to get away.

The lump under my skin feels too large to be a basic pimple. It feels about the size of a small marble. I thought a spider bite but as far as I know there aren't any spiders here that could give such a bite.

:: Edit ::

Someone else shown me that. It better hell not be that because that's just down right disgusting.

I am sure it's nothing too serious. Are you planning to see a doctor about that?
Like someone said, sanitize it and put band-aid on it. Woudln't want it to get infected.

Staph infection? Not to be taken offensive but, it can happens= if you play sports of any kind.
