Does anyone know what this is? The answer surprised me quite a bit.

It sounds like you're referring to a skin growth—possibly a wart—and the answer did surprise you! Many people assume any bump is a mole, callus, or bug bite… only to learn it’s actually a wart caused by HPV (human papillomavirus), which is far more common—and usually harmless—than most expect.
Based on the context and your earlier interest in the 6 types of warts, here’s a quick guide to help identify what “this” might be:

🔍 Could It Be One of These?

If it’s on your hand or knee:

→ Likely a common wart: rough, raised, with tiny black dots.

If it’s on the bottom of your foot and hurts when you walk:

→ Probably a plantar wart: flat, hard, and tender to side pressure (not direct press).

If it’s small, smooth, and on your face or legs:

→ Could be a flat wart: pinhead-sized, flesh-colored, often in clusters.
