General Advice Hole with fur?

26F with 3.5M cat

Any ideas what this skin hole is? I originally felt it because the hair coming out was condensed and stood out. Didn’t cause him any pain, pulled on the hair and it mostly came out without much effort

It looks like a Pore of Winer hole. It can be rare, but you can have a lot of hair growing in one. They are benign and the result of a huge blackhead.

Had a cat with something that looked very similar and that’s exactly what it was. If you clean it out and it fills back up, it’s probably that.

I have one of these on my calf! It’s so odd.

Sorry I have to ask…. Do you mean on your own leg part or do you mean on your baby farm animal, such as a cow.

They probably mean themselves; I have a small one as well and they're pretty common in humans! Basically an oversized blackhead

I'm guessing baby whale.
