My teenage daughter keeps getting this spiky, thread-like little skin bump growing on her neck. She has a recital tomorrow. What is this?.

removers should generally not be used on the neck without appropriate guidance, particularly right before an important event.

Some wart treatments contain salicylic acid, which can irritate the skin if used incorrectly.

At-home freezing products can also cause irritation, blistering, or temporary changes in skin color when used improperly.

Picking is another bad idea.

If the growth is a wart, repeatedly touching or picking it can irritate the area, cause bleeding, and potentially contribute to spreading the virus to nearby skin.

A small bump is usually much easier to hide
