eye thingy

this is kinda gross, thats why im hiding it over here on the image gallery. for about the past year i've had this bump next to my eye. it was just a little thing at first, i just thought it was a skin tag that i would have to live with. over the past couple months though, it grew quite a bit, at least three times its original size (the first picture is when it was its original size). i was starting to wonder a bit more about what it was- skin tags don't usually grow that fast.

i asked barbara about it (she's a nurse, so i figured she would at least know what i should do about it), and she suggested going to see a dermatologist. the next day i asked around for where would be a good place to go. i got a number and was planning to make the call when i noticed it was a bit discolored on the side. i examined it and decided to try pinching it again to see if that would make any difference (it never did in the past, except make my face hurt...). low and behold- it popped! what?!? this thing was just a zit the whole time?!? that is so gross! its been a week, and nothing has come back, so i think the problem has been solved. it sure was gross though.
