"CIRCULAR OBJECT": WHAT DOES FOR A WHILE MEAN? HOW LARGE IS THIS OBJECT? DOES IT ITCH DOES IT BURN DOES IT HURT WHEN YOU PRESS ON IT? PLEASE SEE YOUR GENERAL DOCTOR OR, BETTER YET, SEE A DERMATOLOGIST.

Alien Implant ?: If I had a circular object under my skin anywhere, regardless of how long I had it, I would get it examined by a professional. It sounds like a lipoma or some other soft tissue growth. More than likely it is benign but have it checked.
