No! Go to a doctor and have him/her remove it for you. If you do it yourself, not only could you bleed badly, you may risk a severe infection, causing septicemia or blood poisoning (especially if it is near your bottom-even more bacteria). It may seem a little embarrassing, but its better than being in discomfort and risking an even bigger problem. Get it taken care of soon as possible.

First of all dont take a growth into your own hands. The best thing is to seek out a Dermatologist who specializes in growths and other things. I could probably be removed successfully and properly.

NO!!!! Bleeding to death and infection aside, you've no way of knowing what the growth actually is. Get it checked by your GP, get referral to specialist, get some investigative studies done - let the professionals take care of it.

If it's a boil you could probably lance it yourself. If it's a fleshy growth it could be a tumor. In any case you should go to the doctor!!!

Go to a doctor. If you're worried about going to a man, look for a woman doctor.

You'd better go get that checked out. It could cost less if you go to the doctor now than if you wait.

DO NOT cut it off yourself! you need to have it removed by a professional. it could have a vein or artery in it and if you cut it, you could do some serious damage.

NO NO NO!!
Go see a doctor to have it properly cauterized. It could just need medication....

If you are a doctor, I'd recommend doing it yourself. But you're not a doctor, are you.
