  1. I've developed the strangest sore on my side, or what might actually be
    termed an "underarm" but not really right on it. More like underneath it
    outside the Realm of Hair, to use a proper noun.

    I've never seen anything like it. It's like this raised, reddish "thing".
    It's not swollen. It just looks like it's growing out of me or something.
    It's probably about 3/32 of an inch long and looks very much like a
    kitten's nipple. The area around it is a little pink, but not swollen at
    all.

    I tried mashing it. There's no sensation in it at all. It's just hanging
    out there in such a way that it's tempting to snip it off with a pair of
    sterilized toenail clippers. It doesn't itch and it's not sore to touch.
    It's perhaps irritated by walking around and swinging my arms. There's no
    hair growing out of the center or anything.

    Sheesh. I can't stand looking at it. I snipped it off. I almost cut a
    little too close and felt a little bite so I moved out a little. It looks
    like it might have been some kind of small bit of hardened pus or something
    from a sore I never knew about or something, or perhaps a hair follicle.
    But I don't know. It's bleeding a little, but I'm going to watch it for
    the next few days to see if it tries to grow back.

    I don't have a history of moles or anything. I don't know of any moles on
    my body anywhere, so I'm guessing it wasn't any kind of developing cancer.
    It was just really weird.

    The bleeding has stopped in the time I've taken to write this, so that's
    good.

    Oh, the only thing I'm really doing different in that area is using Dr.
    Burt's Lavender Mint deodorant to get away from regular aerosol deodorants
    containing aluminum, which supposedly can lead to brain disorders later in
    life, like Alzheimer's.

    Thanks for any clues about what this might have been.

    Well, mine isn't flattened under the skin. It's hanging out, but thanks.
    That might be a variant of what I have happening to me, however. :-)

    What you described sounds like a "skin tag" to me.
    Here's some pix of skin conditions. Scroll down to skin tag.

    Hmmm. I dunno. It certainly doesn't look like the one on the far left,
    but whatever I did to it seems to have helped. It's since flattened out
    and is just a slightly pinkish area. It seems to be healing up just fine,
    thank goodness. :-)
