Ingrown hair or keratin cast shaped like a tiny penis.
The past few weeks I’ve been feeling this beard hair on the side of face at the bottom of my chin. It gradually got thicker and was growing slowly after I shaved. It felt like a small pimple around it. I couldn’t stop picking at it because it didn’t feel right. I finally couldn’t take it anymore so I started yanking on it with tweezers and slowly pulled this thing out. The ‘balls’ were inside and had some resistance before it popped out leaving a small hole in my cheek. It is exactly as long as you would expect with thick facial hair growing for a week including the follicle. Cleaned it, and started squeezing this thing to see wtf it was with my first thought thinking it was a thorn or metal. It is extremely dense and I couldn’t even pinch it in half with my finger nails or crush it on the counter with my nails. Anyone know what this is and if it is an ingrown hair or keratin cast shaped like my follicle? It definitely was a weird experience.
