Sounds like an abscess -- a pocket of infection under the skin. If the white stuff is pus, that's what you have. If you want to try treating this at home, the effected area (the whole soft, gooey patch under the hole) shouldn't be more than one half inch in diameter -- more than that and a vet should see it. Wash the area carefully and thoroughly with warm, soapy water. If you want to do it right, shave a circle about an inch in diameter around the wound, being careful not to injure the wound or contaminate it more. Spend some time gently massaging and expressing the area around the would until all the white stuff is is expressed out and you see either only clear fluid or fresh blood. Dry well and gently massage in some triple-antibiotic cream. Consider bandaging the wound, if you think there's any chance the dog will leave the bandage intact. Commence a course of prescription antibiotics (ask your vet bout this), and follow it to the letter. Do not try and pierce the dog's skin with a blade or needle to clean out the abscess -- if you aren't a vet you aren't likely to have the equipment or the training needed to do this safely, and you can turn a minor problem into an emergency fast. this way. If the dog gets extremely listless, stops eating, stops drinking, or runs a temp, get the dog to the vet and let the pro fix this. If you don't want to treat this at home -- fine -- it's not a procedure for the squeemish really. The vet will almost certainly lance the abscess and may surgically access it for debriding and a real clean out, followed by sutures. They'll give you all the warnings at the vet's office.

If you can't see black holes would you be able to see white holes?

No, you wouldn't. If the white hole spoken of in the question is the one associated with the black hole, it is a term applied to the reversal of time within the black hole. How can you see time reverse itself? Certainly you would not be able to see it from outside the black hole, and there are few volunteers for a trip in. Also, no one who goes in ever comes back, or even sends messages out. We won't be seeing white holes any time soon, if at all.

Is it normal to have a little of white stuff come out of your new toungue piercing?

I have cleaned my mouth as directed, so what gives? The white stuff that sometimes comes out of fresh tongue piercings is called lymph -- it consists of white blood cells that your body uses to try and patch up the hole that was just created in your body. This "phase" of tongue piercings does not usually last long. To remove it, simply brush GENTLY around the barbell with a soft bristled toothbrush.


Have small hole in back area of my body when i squeeze it thick smelly white stuff comes out do you know what this is?

It sounds like you may have a skin condition such as a sebaceous cyst or an infected hair follicle, which can produce thick, smelly discharge. It's important to avoid squeezing it further, as this can lead to infection or complications. I recommend seeing a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Is there opposite of black hole?

There isn't an exact opposite of a black hole in terms of cosmic phenomena. Some theories suggest the existence of "white holes," which are hypothetical regions of spacetime where matter and energy are ejected instead of being pulled in, mirroring the behavior of black holes. However, white holes are purely theoretical and have not been observed or confirmed.


How strong is a white hole?

There is no evidence that such a thing as a "white hole" exists, or that it even can exist. The theory of what properties such a white hole would have is not on a firm foundation, either.
