20 years ago I popped a pimple & the white head went away but a tiny bump remained Not till 18 months ago did I know there was a coiled hair inside but the bump turned translucent & got 5x bigger overnight. I broke the skin a little but hair couldn't be pulled out. I had to scrape it out. Little bits daily as it gradually loosened & surfaced by itself. Free end of coiled hair is embedded on skin surface making it look dark & wrinkled. A piece has come out daily for 18 months! Is this just a freakishly huge ingrown hair with no head? What should I do?
