Looks like a large and deep blackhead. Sorry, I’m not sure what to do... to wait it out until it’s closer to the surface or have your vet extract it...?

If it is a blackhead you can use a warm wet compress on it several times a day to bring it to a head faster. Then you can extract it.

It’s also possibly a tiny blood blister.

pickles is neutered and it is not painful. I squeezed it a little bit last night and he didn’t even notice. We have a vet appointment on Tuesday so I’ll ask there. Most vets are not very knowledgeable about sphynx tho
