What is this?


Question:
Had a question for ya'll. My cousin was swimming in our pond out back the other night and I noticed a growth on his back.

Upon closer inspection I noticed that it was a huge raised bump with a little dimple in the middle and what looked liek a hair or something wavering around from within the dimple. It also feels kidna hard underneath, yet the skin is still soft! ITS WEIRD!

Freaky stuff, let me tall ya'. I told him to get it checked out becuase it could be herpes or something.

He does alot of traveling and I think he caught a cold or somethign like that on his vacations.

Please help! He is freaking out and doesn't want to freak out his fiancee!

What is this bump on his back?!?!?!

Answers:
Don't call a priest unless it has an eye in it. If it has a hair in it, it probably is some kind of ingrown hair, so see a doctor.

This will help tell. He needs to see a doctor.
that could be a small tumor
the Doc will remove it with a small operation

bye take care
Could be a cist from the sounds of it. Have him check with a dermatologist or his general physician.
is it red, warm, swollen or painfull? It probably is an infected hair follicle, a boil, pop it and pump the puss out, clean it with alcohol.. OR is the center brown with no pain or redness, that would be a mole with precancerous tumor under it.... see a doctor.. OR is it flesh colored and soft? that would be a genitic fibrotic fat cell, it can be removed or not. those are harmless
maybe he's really an alien
If it isn't a mole or wart, then get him to a doctor and have it looked at.
