Rough upraised skin growth
by lavender27, Aug 30, 2006 12:00AM
I've had this growth on my buttock (right side) for about 8 months now. It first started out appearing like some pimple, so I didn't think much of it. After about 3 months it started to harden on the surface. It is white and has a rough surface. I am able to pick at it and take very small pieces off. Some of the pieces I've noticed have tiny black specks on it. It does not hurt or bleed unless I pick at it and take off too much. I've included some pics if that helps any. I would describe the surface to look and feel like a cauliflower. What is this?

I think it's a wart. See a doctor and have it removed. Should take about 2 minutes.
Best.
