on one of my boobs, there was this REALLY weird thing. it looked like a seed had been planted under my skin. but it was only partially covered. it was black, and would kind of hurt if i squeezed it. i tried many many MANY times to get it out. i tried squeezing it with my fingers, squeezing it with tweezers, one time i even stuck the "pole thing" of an earring (i can't remember the word...the thing that you slide the back onto, it holds the earring) in and tried to pull it out. nothing ever happened. it bled a little when i did the earring thing, but it didn't come out.
last night, i was sitting in bed and i saw it. it bothers me SO much cause it's kinda noticeable. and with a tiny little squeeze, i saw it slide out a little. i squeezed it a little harder, and it slid out. i looked at it for a few minutes, and realized it looked like a pebble. it was about the size of one, too. it was mostly black, with some brown, and a little white here in there. it was VERY hard, i couldn't crush

(cont) it by standing on it, squeezing it really hard, nothing.
i was wondering if anyone has ever had something similar, and if they know what it is.
it's gone now, but i'm really curious.

it's not a blackhead. not to be rude, but if you'd actually read it, it would be quite obvious that it wasn't.

another add detail. wowww. kinda of obnoxious, sorry.
i don't need a doctor to check it out, cause it's GONE.

Sometimes ingrown hairs can also have symptoms similar to a blackhead and when you try to pop it it can hurt.
Glad it's gone now. But if you are still hurting in that area although it's gone then please get this checked out by your dr to make sure there isn't something more going on that could have been missed when you popped this thing that could be an ingrown hair (or even yes a blackhead possibly because of what you described noticing).
I had something like that removed from my pubic area once and it had not only a head on it but a white tail at the other end of it and that time it was a blackhead. Second time I had to have the dr remove something from my pubic area it was another pimple and also dealing with an ingrown hair.

Would have done you good to see a Doc. Then you would worry less.
Looks like it was merely a foreign body. Like one gets a thorn under the skin. If you were out in the beach or similar, it can happen.
It can be squeezed out when the skin allows.Like it builds a resistance against it, then comes out.
Do put some disinfectant on the area.\Wish u the best.

Wow, livinggypt is the only one with the right answer and she has 4 thumbs down? Get your facts straight before rating peoples answers. It a comedone and it can be very small or very large. It is a form of blackhead under the skin.

hmm. Well one, it does NOT sound like breast cancer so don't freak out just yet. It may be a really large blackhead. It is probably just a clogged pore that got really large. Good thing is that you got it out. If it grows back, there may be cause for concern and you should probably get it checked out at your next Doctor's visit.

I had something like that in my leg and I was told it was a cyst that had grown because of an ingrown hair.
I tried heaps to get mine out and it wouldn't budge then one day I was able to pull it out wit tweezers. I couldn't crush mine either.

Well, in my profesional opinion you should get that checked out. If it hurts to touch, then something might be up.
