Having Brown Mole On Waist And It Is Pimple Like. Feels Like A Little Balloon. Medication?
I have a small brown mole on top of my waist and just located a pimple like little ball that is soft like it has liquid in it. Don't know if its a pimple but it starts to hurt and I feel like I can bust it with a sharp sterilized needle. It feels like a little balloon. Should I pop it? It's next to my skin mole I have always had.

Hi pimple like balloon over the waist can be molluscum contagiosum.it is a viral infection where it presents as a pimple like lesion with umblicated center with molluscum body which is the source of infection.it can be removed with popping up with the needle.if left alone they may multipy and cause many lesions.it can be also removed by electrocautery.or chemical cautery with tca peels
