My brother has this (picture included) on his hand, do you know what it is?

Can it be popped?

Dermatofibromas are nodules derived from mesodermal and dermal cells. It is unclear whether they are true neoplasms or fibrous reactions to minor trauma, insect bites, viral infections, ruptured cysts, or folliculitis.18 The nodules can be found anywhere on the body, but most commonly appear on the anterior surface of the lower legs. Dermatofibromas are firm, raised papules, plaques, or nodules that vary in size from 3 to 10 mm in diameter (Figure 12). They range in color from brown to purple, red, yellow, and pink.22
that is what it is no could be

you should learn to communicate effectively.

this is gonna go over most ppls heads.

[orphan]

remember, these aren't your colleagues.

@orphan the guy wanted to know what it was. I did not want to be just another opinion. He can look up what it is and not listen to all the crazy people on this website. Sure it was over his head. But it's the answer and if he's smart enough to look at up don't know what to do

[SexyStudent]

And by the way I'm a PhD candidate in applied physics I am not involved in any way with medical care. My sister is a third-year medical student at Cornell and she told me what it was

[orphan]

well in that case you should have pointed him to the appropriate science journal. either way, your knowledgeable answer is as informative to her as the next clueless person.

[orphan]

her*

@orphan What are you on about? I understood perfectly well. All I needed to know was the name, so I could look it up myself.

Do you just want to talk to her, is that it?

@sexystudent Thanks for the info.

[SexyStudent]

No problem. You're welcome. I think the guys gotta stick up his something. I gave you the name that's all you need any intelligent person could go from there. I embellished it so you would understand that I was giving you the straight answer. But I think you're smart enough to look it up on site

[SexyStudent]

I think he wants naked pictures of me

[Asker]

Quite likely… He seems to care a little too much for some reason.

[SexyStudent]

Well anyway that's what it is and it's nothing really to worry about. Could be just caused by an insect bite. Good luck. If you need any more assistance the best I can do is put your brother in a laserbeam and do God knows what with him

A PhD candidate should know not to commit plagiarism.

[SexyStudent]

@timbergag Jesus Christ! I'm getting so much shit for helping this woman out. Yes I copy pasted I know nothing about the subject. All I did was tell her what it was and then so she would know that it was genuine. She immediately knew the correct diagnosis and then investigated the subject for herself. So now I'm at plagiarism nut and I don't communicate effectively. Meanwhile I'm the only one who really helped her out. There is an expression, "bite my ass!"

[Sexualchrist]

Interesting. So should he pop it?

[SexyStudent]

@Sexualchrist according to my sister can't be popped there is no liquid stuff inside. It's sort of hard

[Sexualchrist]

So how would one get rid of it?

[SexyStudent]

@Sexualchrist I am one of the foremost graduate students in applied physics at Stanford University. I have no fuckin clue how to get rid of this. I am not a doctor I'm not a nurse I'm not a nurses aide. I will call my sister and get back to you.

[dogbert444]

It could be a basal. Get it checked out quickly. It might need surgical removal. I had similar a couple of years ago. Do NOT try and pop it!!

[raio81597]

That's a boil and if you pop it, he'll need it to be covered and use anti bacterial ointment to prevent infection.
