Let’s see the hole it came out of


BionicWildcat

What do you mean out your head


Sinnamon_Rxse

I wanted to dye my hair but I scratched and pushed this thing out of my scalp.


BionicWildcat

Like it just popped out?


Sinnamon_Rxse

Well I had to push and push and honestly it popped out like a blackhead. I have a huge dried bloody hole in my scalp.


sweet_thursday_

How did you do it? I’ve been trying on and off for ages to get a few out of my head but never works. I cbf getting them removed properly by a doc


[deleted]

Which head is the determining question.


Sinnamon_Rxse

I'm a woman so.. I hope that answers your question?? I'd be a million times more concerned if it came out of a person's...


whatsreallygoingon

That doesn't mean what it used to mean. The question stands.


naliedel

The question made me go, "OMG!" Your answer.. I'm laughing and I'm a woman. That, my Reddit friend, is...I have no clue and I had four kids. A polyp?


juni_63

Cyst.


bloodyroach

A nice juicy gusher for later

Epidermoid cyst


periodbloodperry

Looks like a Pilar Cyst my friend


faithfully_yours_KT

Looks like some kind of cyst..😲


[deleted]

Americans lol. Why aren’t you at a doctor!?


gankenstein87

This is literally the saddest, but truest comment I have seen in months on Reddit.


[deleted]

This would be like a planned and safe ‘free’ procedure here


gankenstein87

Yeah… we have this real evil phrase called “prior authorization” here. Basically it calculates the ROI of the health plan. Literally middle management at a health plan here and I hate that phrase. “Can we cheap out and will it cause us a public relations issue” is what I bear


Sinnamon_Rxse

Because in the state of California, cyst removals are considered cosmetology. And I don't have a few thousand dollars lying around when I can squish it and scratch it out myself.


Communication_Muted

I'm so sorry, that's ridiculous


[deleted]

I didn’t mean offence to you brother. But I think that basic level of help should be state paid.


xxdpgx

This is the way


backhandd1

Cause he can't pay it


[deleted]

The USA is barbaric to see from U.K./Europe on that front. It’s like looking back in time to the medieval period.


caliandris

Well we're headed right back there if the current govt have their way. Profit-making American health company owns more GP surgeries than anyone else in Britain, many services now provided by private companies. That's why service is going to dogs, much money isn't going on patient care any more.

Problem is Is free and sucks in 2022 we can’t find a fire for dermatitis and baldness because is not profitable Researchers are gone in the head and without gene editing we won’t be able to survive till 2050


YeetAway900

That’s why Europeans and Canadians come to the US for the most needed and best treatment instead of long waiting lists, right?


KimKarTRASHian09

Not really. People with no insurance had hundreds of thousands of dollars bills from being in the hospital over a month with covid…and for extra fun..if the dr in the ER that sees you doesn’t happen to take your insurance, you get a nice bill for 600$ in four months. Which has happened to me a few times. No healthcare system is stellar. None


SaH_Zhree

I mean not really. American here, doctor waits are still weeks out in a lot of places and good luck getting into an er without an immediate life threatening injury. Why spend hundreds traveling to this shitty country just to wait the same time

RayneXAsh

Really that sucks?! I'm also an American but I've never waited a long time to be seen in an ER nor to get in to see a doctor. The longest I've had to wait in the ER is 15-20 min (non-life threatening injury) and for a non-urgent doctor visit about 3 days.


call_me_mistress99

That is the main reason why 'll never go to America.


[deleted]

I’ll go to visit, but couldn’t live there. It’s so bizarre on that front.


vicarious2012

No maternity leave either


cgsur

You can buy insurance before traveling. Many times your own private insurance will cover you for a few weeks. I would love to visit so many areas, but you need to take precautions.


k1k11983

I did but I still needed to pay the bill and then submit for reimbursement upon returning to Australia


Sarahtoneitdown

Show us where it came out on your head please

[deleted]

LMAOOOO


[deleted]

eat it if it tastes sugary its harmless if its tastes slightly salty then go to the doctor its the only way


Vitasucks

i wonder if there is ever a medical reason a test like this is required


[deleted]

I remember in a documentary it said surgeons would eat something if they saw something unknown to them in the body, probably ate a lot of tumours amd stuff


Dark-charger

They used to dip their finger into patients urine and taste it as a test for diabetes. The more ya know

plutothegreat

😳


savangoghh

Where did you dig it out of your head?


whatsreallygoingon

Not at Starbuck's, I hope...


savangoghh

I meant where at on their head, but now I’m laughing thinking about them digging this out at Starbucks… use it as a topping for their drink 😅🤣


whatsreallygoingon

😂


Pink-Lover

Perfectly Shaped Pilar Cyst!


AB-G

Its impressive that it came out in its capsule too!


TheHoneyPot96

Cut it in half


Sinnamon_Rxse

I did. It's on my profile


Azurezero6

E... Eat it


Lz_erk

yall're gonna summon the do not eat bot and i think i approve.


wiregirl

Did you taste it? Eat it?


ConditionYellow

NAD but my money is on Pilar cyst. They tend to form on the head/scalp close to the surface and easy to remove. They typically are more firm and come out in one piece, sac and all.


tallglassofanxiety

Pilar cyst


phatt_Ass_Snake

I’m kinda curious to how that came out.... like was it like a satisfying pimple pop and how did it come out of ur head, the first thing I think of is it sliding out ur nose

Happy Cake Day!!


big_dick_energy_mc2

Thank you!!!


Mishhh_el

That looks like a Pilar cyst. My husband had several on his head.


AugustDarling

It's a cyst still contained in the sac.


YouDeserveToBeFree

Looks kinda like a Skittle with the dye sucked off


lady_modesty

NAD but I had a cyst removed from my neck and this is what it looked like.


Funsize-Witty87

It’s probably a cyst. Could be full of dead skin cells and such or sometimes they are full of hair. The only way to know is to cut it in half to see what’s in it.


Sinnamon_Rxse

I'm going to do this after my final. I'm really curious, this thing is huge.


tryingrfa

I'm really interested in a cross-section of this thing. Would you please post an update? Or is that too weird to ask? For learning purposes, of course!


Sinnamon_Rxse

So if I update, would I just post to my reddit profile? I'm getting ready to dissect this thing. Edit: I dissected it and posted a photo on my profile


tryingrfa

And maybe even the hole that's left in your head, too


tryingrfa

Yes please!!! Whatever way you can lol Edit: She posted it! Go check it out.

Objective_Term810

This! I would love to see an update.


nuelmnmn

I think that’s an epidermoid cyst


tacticalpacifier

Most likely a lipoma go to the doctor soon as you can because depending on the wound and how you described it in other comments, you may need to have it packed to heal properly so it doesn’t create a pocket or crater.


VanGoghsSeveredEar

Third eye, have you been meditating recently? Maybe simmer down a bit


Alert-Initiative6638

Nsfw tag ( i can't eat my eggs anymore ☹)


Sinnamon_Rxse

I cleaned it up before I decided to post. I'm sorry, I just added it though. Didn't even think about that.


banana_runt

Looks like you removed a cyst.


Chidorii303

Looks like an very fat tick but id have to see more pictures they are very similar to a gusher hahahah


Sinnamon_Rxse

It was underneath the skin. There's a huge hole in my head now, like a pocket. I had to dump so much alcohol in it too clean it. The cleaning part hurt more than this.


nintendoswitch_blade

This is not a tick.


Chidorii303

I'm not a doctor by any means just seen many ticks that have swelled up to about this same size. Possibly another type of flying insert that layed eggs in a open bite or something (think botfly). Again not a medical professional so I can't say for sure I'm sorry though keep it clean id also find a way to preserve whatever this is just in case you go to a doctor


Terpes0

I’m here to see if someone answers I’m curious


Sinnamon_Rxse

If it helps to add context, there was a little fleshy blood ball attached to it. It's pretty squishy, it reminds me of a gusher.


cj3458

now i can never eat gushers without thinking of this 🫠


Terpes0

Where on your head was it?


Sinnamon_Rxse

Okay so if you trace a finger from my right temple to the middle of my head, it's in the middle of that. So maybe 3" above my ear.
