I am a 14 year old boy. A few days ago there was there was and little bump on my knee, it was small, like a pimple, but I don’t think that it’s an infected hair follicle. So after a few days, like 6 small centimeter long white hairs sprouted out of this pump on my knee with a small bit on the ends of each hair brighter white than the rest of the hairs. My skin did not change aside from the bump and my mom has no idea what it it, it doesn’t hurt, but it looks weird. It doesn’t seem dangerous and I searched around on google a bit and came up with nothing. I just want to know what it is. It is on my left knee. I do not know what discussion section I should’ve put it in, so I just put it in the knee problems section, although I’m almost certain that it doesn’t belong there.

    It could be a small cyst, I have one above my lip and it spouts hair. I would get your mum to make an appointment with your GP to get it checked out anyway.
