In May this year, I noticed a small lump on B's sheath. On the side wall, facing out towards his leg. It looked like a wart, smooth, black, painless. It was the size of a pin head. Over the summer, it grew to around the size of an almond. I thought (sadly) that it was a sarcoid, so was looking at using turmeric to get rid. When grooming him last week, I felt it, assuming it would have a root - it didn't. I bit the bullet yesterday, and bought a kilo of turmeric to start feeding/applying to get rid of it. Today, I had another feel with the intention of pulling the hair away so I could take a picture to gauge if the turmeric was having any effect in a few weeks. As I was feeling it, not pulling, the skin ripped (I can only describe it like the moment before a big spot bursts!), and a white lump came out. It's smooth, very hard, and definitely not pus or a sarcoid (yay!) - but I have no idea what it is! The hole bled a bit, but stopped within 5 mins, he was very touchy about it afterwards so I purple sprayed and fly sprayed, which seemed to settle it. Has anyone had anything like this before?
 
I was convinced it was a sarcoid, it looked like one and grew like one....but didn't know they could just fall off? I also thought they had a root? This is smooth all over.....interesting though!
 
I think it does sound like a Nodular Sarcoid, I've seen a few that have slowly grown until the skin goes tight, and then they burst and fall out, looking and feeling like a white marble. I normally just purple spray the hole for a day or two, and leave it alone after that. None of the ones I've seen have come back so far.
 
Yep, that's it.....thank you! And I purple sprayed too, so instincts seemed to have been right. Ta muchly, and fingers crossed it's gone! :-)
