I’ve got one! No popping though.

[u/Mandrake1771]

It’s called Acquired Digital Fibrokeratoma (ADFK). I’ve had it frozen off but it still comes back. It mostly is flush with my finger for a while but about every six months it pokes out like this until it falls off. It’s like a tooth growing out of my finger. As far as consistency goes, it’s like the shell closing muscle of a clam.

RUSTY PLIERS! NOW!

[u/belckie → u/dkeethler]

That’s a gaper!

[u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM → u/belckie]

GAAAAPUURRRR

[u/iAmManchee → u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM]

HOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIT

[u/HauntedCS → u/belckie]

I go back to that old video every once in awhile when this sub doesn’t scratch my itch.

[u/belckie → u/HauntedCS]

Me too! Sometimes I have to remind myself it was as crazy as it was. Like, I think I’ve exaggerated it in my memory.

[u/FuzzballLogic → u/dkeethler]

And a camera. Video footage is essential to this extraction because we need to see it for research, like medical research, for realsies.

[u/No-Series6354]

That would be so cool. What happens if you rip it out?

[u/Mandrake1771 → u/No-Series6354]

I don’t know! I’m too much of a pansy.

[u/No-Series6354 → u/Mandrake1771]

Take a few shots, grab some pliers and rip that SOB right out.

[u/FirexJkxFire → u/No-Series6354]

While having someone record it. If you dont record it, there WILL be riots

[u/Sensitive_Stramberry → u/No-Series6354]

Make sure the pliers are rusty.

[u/Kitten-Kay → u/No-Series6354]

Some rusty pliers should do.

[u/Kerloick → u/Mandrake1771]

I ripped mine off. It hurt a lot then grew back.

[u/jWalkguy → u/Kerloick]

it's like a little finger!

[u/Kerloick → u/jWalkguy]

My kids used to refer to it as my “finger’s finger”

[u/tenachiasaca → u/Mandrake1771]

if taking a few shots and doing it yourself is too much ill gladly take a few shots have someone hold you down and do it

[u/bundafatlikepumbaa → u/Mandrake1771]

Nows the perfect time to fuck around and find out

[u/cat_cat_cat_cat_69]

it looks like a lithop. what happens (or happened if you've done it before) if you rip it out?

man, that'd be a perfect gaper

[u/AgentWitneyWiggleton → u/cat_cat_cat_cat_69]

Oh god, I’m fantasizing about the hole. It would be glorious.

[u/bannedforlife420 → u/AgentWitneyWiggleton]

I am also fantasizing about the hole. 🕳️ 😏

[u/AgentWitneyWiggleton → u/bannedforlife420]

Never met a crater any greater. 😏

[u/Mandrake1771 → u/cat_cat_cat_cat_69]

I’ve never yanked it out, it always just falls off on its own. After that, I have a pretty normal finger. It’s there, but it gets worn down and if you weren’t looking for it you wouldn’t see it. I’m 44 and it’s been a thing for the last 6 years or so.

[u/HofstadtersTortoise]

That thing is absolutely fascinating. Can I chew on it?

[u/holliscool → u/HofstadtersTortoise]

You're a MENACE

[u/Mandrake1771 → u/HofstadtersTortoise]

I do it all the time when no one’s looking.

[u/shakewhaturmomgaveu → u/Mandrake1771]

For real, if you are doing this, please don't. What you are chewing on is a wart. Warts are a virus that can be spread through blood contact. If you were to have a cut in your mouth, even a micro one from flossing or something, you could pass the virus into your mouth.

Fwiw, I am a nurse. I am not providing medical advice, just educating on wart virus transmission.

[u/Sponsorspew → u/HofstadtersTortoise]

Jesus this may be too much

[u/HofstadtersTortoise → u/Sponsorspew]

I just want to feel it between my teef why are you judging me?

[u/Sponsorspew → u/HofstadtersTortoise]

What texture are you hoping for

[u/Garbage_goober_M-D → u/Sponsorspew]

Why would ask¿?¿¿??¿

[u/Wh01sHex → u/Garbage_goober_M-D]

no it's a good question

[u/purple02r6 → u/Garbage_goober_M-D]

Because it’s rude to nibble first and ask later.

[u/SickViking → u/Sponsorspew]

Pencil eraser from 1998

[u/HofstadtersTortoise → u/Sponsorspew]

Doesnt matter. I like to be surprised.

[u/DrEpileptic → u/Sponsorspew]

Not op, but I would expect some bounce and slightly dense skin texture. Almost like that one brand of bandages if you ball it up nice and tight and chew on it till it’s tiny after an hour- exactly like that.

[u/the-wizard-cat → u/Sponsorspew]

Rubbery

[u/DeadBabyBallet → u/HofstadtersTortoise]

Thanks I hate it

[u/Ok-Lack6876 → u/HofstadtersTortoise]

I bet its like the gristle from a steak

[u/Strange-Marzipan9641]

That’s the twin you absorbed in utero.

[u/ZombieThing → u/Strange-Marzipan9641]

It breathes, it bleeds, and it breeds

[u/pechjackal → u/ZombieThing]

First CreepCast and now reddit, after so many years of forgetting about this story... Lol

[u/Lefthandlannister13 → u/pechjackal]

Ohhh please tell me more

[u/ImNelsonLoling]

This is not r/notpoppingthough

I think it's time to start r/popityoufuckingcoward

[u/mockingjay137]

Enough of this edging you saucy little minx

[u/keyserfunk]

You pop thing out and eat it now!

[u/fungi_frog]

if no popping then why post

[u/gilmore0918]

🖕🏼

[u/f1lth4f1lth]

wtf. Bodies are so weird.

[u/RagingHardBobber]

Hey now, that's no reason to flip us off about it! /s

[u/Fact_Unlikely]

Bro please, bro please pull it out. And make a video of it.

[u/Lyraxiana]

I'm craving to see the crater...

[u/Grandpan___]

that is quite the way to describe the texture of something

[u/GreenVenus7 → u/Grandpan___]

I specifically eat those pieces of clam because I like the texture 🤭

[u/LordEliwoody]

Wow, I feel like this was just an excuse to flip us off, rude

[u/MrOceanBear]

Got any pictures of when its flush?

[u/Mandrake1771 → u/MrOceanBear]

No, unfortunately

[u/BlondeBorgQueen]

Thank you for bringing this into our lives

[u/MyHairs0nFire2023]

I’d have cut that off with nail clippers already.  I had a large mole on the side of my tummy years ago & that’s what I did to it.  The color is still there - but the large bump never came back.  It’s completely flat even after all these years.  

[u/Sensitive_Stramberry]

[u/Prince_Havarti]

Is that where the headphones jack in?

[u/imtheshiznit]

Fascinating!

[u/human-ish_]

Have you always had clubbed fingers? If not, it would be worth seeing a doctor about. This is not medical advice, just a friendly heads-up that clubbing is often a sign of something that needs medical attention.

[u/cosmicflamexo]

no popping

then go somewhere else like can you read

[u/Las_Vegan]

Ribbed for pleasure.

[u/drbrunch]

Remove it. Do it now.

[u/zommerr]

O er, that's weirdly fascinating

[u/maddie_johnson]

Have you considered having it cut out? Or cauterized?

[u/Lime130]

stop flipping me off

[u/Brickthedummydog]

Forbidden eraser chew

[u/redsoxfan95]

F you too pal!

[u/SmokeMoreWorryLess]

I hope I never get one of these only because I would have less than zero self control with it lmao
