IDK if this is the right place to post this, but I felt a sharp pain while taking a shower on my chest, and I looked down and i was bleeding just above my nipple and it looked like something was inside of the opening...

It might be a botfly larva, is there a way to confirm without going to the emergency room?

Go to the fucking emergency room.

>IDK if this is the right place to post this, but I felt a sharp pain while taking a shower on my chest, and I looked down and i was bleeding just above my nipple and it looked like something horrible was inside of the opening...

I looked again and noticed that the word horrible isn't actually in that sentence.

united states northwest.

i didnt do a lot of research on where they live but one article said that common houseflys can hatch their eggs in you, i live in the attic of my grandparents house so maybe that has something to do with it?

Botflies are everywhere, even in North America.

Yes, you should have that checked out.

certainly.

just let it fester a while.


seriously though...go to a hospital....immediately...

if you try to remove it your self you will just end up ripping it in two and end up at the hospital anyway

no one here is going to tell you not to go the hospital, but there isn't anything that bad in the NW and whatever it was it's out of you

it's not like you found a cancerous tumor or some shit that's going to kill you even though you removed it

go to the hospital but you probably don't need to rush the ER

>>2034530
he already has it out, right? isn't the pic in the OP whatever it was in the OP's hand?

if not disregard and fucking floor it the ER

>> No.2034543

worst that can happen is it's just a zit...
