Answer #1

I had what the person said before me ‘a ingrown hair’ in the middle of my back- I just went to the dr and he aranged for it to be removed, it wasnt sore and it took 10 mins to remove.

good think was I did it under a local anasetic (sory I cant spell) it didnt hurt atall and I got 3 very small stitched, which came out by a nurse in 2 weeks

Answer #2

I think it’s just an ingrown hair. It probably gets infected and that’s the smell. Why don’t you do a search on google if you want to find out for sure?

Answer #3

Yes! I had that, but I don’t believe there was an ingrown hair. It wasn’t infected or anything. I assumed it was a build-up of deoderant that got in my pore. I squeezed it like a zit, and yes it smelled bad. The texture was just like my ‘sure’ deoderant though. I’ve noticed since doing that, my arpit sweats more. You?
