Q: small red bump on calf for 5 years, popped and some blood came out then saw something in it, pulled with tweezers and an inch of what looked like white tissue came out. what could this be?

: This could have been an epidermal inclusion cyst or a wen. If it fills up again or doesn't appear fully healed or resolved, have a physician or dermatologist inspect it and advise you.
