A member asked:

My upper lip has a lump - i squeezed it as if it were a pimple, but a long yellow thing came out. is it just a pimple, or do i have ring worm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acne comedone: If the dead skin cells in the skin pore get trapped (and mixed with some oils) but don't form a hard lump; when the lump is squeezed, the mixture comes out like a long thing. However, the squeezing may start an inflammatory reaction and cause a pustule or pimple to form the next day or two.
