Having Black Hole On Back. Hole Getting Bigger, Small Strings Comes Out Of It. An Ideas On What This Could Be?
My boyfriend has a lump on his back. A few months ago a black hole formed on it. Lately, the hole is getting bigger and I can see the black area expanding under his skin. I once picked at it with tweezers and cleaned it with peroxide . I was able to pull a few small strings out of it, but the black does not come off. An ideas on what this could be? Should we be worried? What can I do to eliminate this thing? Thanks.
