Just found one of these on my husband... we've been together 7 years and this is the first time i noticed it. Don't think it's been there long as I would have noticed right away. He bent over backwards trying to see what the heck i was seeing...haha.. then he let me pull it out. then we continued with our business. i was not going to continue after seeing it, so yeah, young guys out there, if you have one of these just get some tweezers and a mirror and get rid of it. took about five seconds.
hurts like a b***h but use thumb nails and pinch the hell outta it...that will push it enough to the surface to scrape or tweeze it out...just did..totally works and the hard feeling of where it was is completely gone...went to a doctor about this once and basically without warning the bastard pinched the f**k outta me and it was gone...doing it yourself gives you more control to take your time
I've had this too. For the first few years it acted just as noted in other posts, I could pull out a rice shaped object with a black head and waxy tail. When I went looking for an answer , the best fitting possibility I could find was that it was a suture scar from circumcision...and...just like any other piercing can, it would gather "stuff" in it and then form a head. Several decades later and now it seems to be forming a harder head and cannot be extracted. I never worried about it before, but now I can't get the black and hard skinned scab (the size of a head of a pin) to soften (with creams); or loosen, with scrubbing. This tiny button needs to go, it's disconcerting because it's almost to the point where it could scratch. Mine is exactly where the ring of suture holes would have been for my circumcision. If it didn't have the black head....I would think that it turned into a skin tag. I hope someone comes back with an answer.
Hey everyone. Same situation here, don't despair, its just a blackhead. Some of you are describing something different, but the "black-headed piece of rice" is just a blackhead. Those of you who have managed to pull one out should find this video very familiar to you.
squeeze it to pop up enough to get a handle on with tweezers, then just work it out.
hope i was helpful.

Chaps - do not let this concern you any more than necessary, its no big deal. I've had the same thing bugging me for ages and it was getting worse over time as tissue/gunge/whatever built up around it. Finally I decided enough was enough and I needs to take matters into my own hands (literally). So I took a few deep breaths, got some heavy duty tools (sewing needle & tweezers) and went to work on it. I wont lie, it wasn't the most enjoyable hour of my life but it was certainly very satisfying when it came out. I cant say what it was other than a very large blackhead type spot type thing (general dead skin/dirt). Anyway my advice to you all is to man-up and take positive action asap!
