Asked By:TataKtana in Los Angeles, CA

What is going on here? Please help. It does not hurt just small burning sensation sometimes. It started out like the photo with the red circle, few days after it was a hole. I have gotten mixed advice's, that is nothing and will heal by it self if I care about it, and the other is that it is serious.
