    Default What is this phobia?

    I realized I have a phobia for raised skin/bumps. Like those implants people can get freak me out and if someone has hives all over their skin. Just talking about that makes my skin crawl and I get really nauseous. I had a dream the other night that my friend had all of these little weird flakey bumps all over her skin and I was scraping them off and omg just talking about it.. the feeling is so hard to explain!

    I'm guessing this is a phobia? I don't feel like this about anything else. Does anyone know what the name of that phobia would be? When I google it I only get Trypophobia, which is the fear of clusters of holes. Mine would be the opposite of that I guess. I couldn't find it on the phobia list website either. Or are there phobias out there that haven't been named yet? Also, I was googling phobias and I wouldn't necessarily say I am "scared" of this but just extremely extremely disgusted by it. Or for some reason it's so disgusting but I want to still look even though I'm disgusted by it.

    This question is so random lol but it's been bugging me a lot lately.

    Hmm interesting there isn't much info on that being a phobia, but I know exatly what you mean with how you describe you feel about it. I have a whole book full of weird phobias myself and that is how I feel about a lot of them. I have a phobia of maggots, I know no one actually likes maggots because they are disgusting, but mine actually crosses the line to a phobia to the point I can't even say the word without feeling like I'm going to be sick and my skin starts crawling. I also used to have some asshole friends that knew about that phobia and they would go find some in trash somewhere and chase me, I would run screaming bloody murder lol.

    Oh man I don't know, but I hope I didn't trigger you! I'll stop talking about that in petty annoyances, but don't go back and look if you haven't read it already, lol.

    I have tryptophobia btw.

    Did I spell it wrong, is that the phobia for clusters of holes? I might have that as well because clusters of holes creep me out too but for some reason bumps do way more. Both are so disgusting to me though ughhh need to get the thought out of my head! blehh

    I have something similar to this fear of holes you ladies are talking about but I don't know how to descirbe it, it is really strange. It isn't really a fear of holes really, but a fear of something like a group of holes in the ground, or a bunch of holes, and stuff pulling through those holes. Not like regular objects like thread, but some kind of worm or creature going in one hole and out the other. I've had nightmares about it and it freaks me out so much, it is so strange lol.

    I have a phobia of masks, maskophobia. Halloween is not a fun time for me. It's not even scary masks, just any kind of face covering on someone gives me a panic attack (literally, I get so terrified I just freeze and can't move/breathe). I feel like most people have some kind of phobia.

    I also have Emetophobia, which is probably the most severe of all of my phobias because having it affects me almost daily. It is the fear of throwing up or being around others that are throwing up. When I was younger I was terrified of throwing up, but now it isn't as bad, I still get little anxiety attacks anytime I know I'm going to throwup or anytime I feel sick to my stomach but mine is much worse if I know someone close by me is going to be sick, I go full blown panic mode if I even think someone around me is going to be sick, and I watch for the signs too, I get a little crazy with it, I become very aware of what to look for if someone is going to be sick and I make a run for it, lol. The worst is when I'm in a car with someone and they look like they are going to be sick, I start flipping out. I am too scared to even get in a car that has someone in it that is reallydrunk because of the good possibility that they are going to throwup, so if I have no choice but to get in the car, my attention is on that person the whole time to make sure they aren't going to throw up, lol. Same with elevators, but I'm also scared of elevators on top of it.

    I have a really similar "phobia"! Anything round and in "clusters" makes my skin crawl (which was a good way to put it, I could never describe the feeling I got looking at it, but can't look away) Clusters of holes in particular. I also don't like the look of all the little bubbles in carbonated drinks. However, if the holes are all the same size, and even with each other, i'm fine. (example: honeycomb)

    off to go die now after google searching "fear of holes"

    Oh god the fear of holes was something I didn't know I had until I stumbled upon it online. Fuck you forums. Fuck you google for putting the images up in text searches automatically. I can never google the name again now. Please don't do it just in case!

    I doubt I would have had this phobia if it hadn't been for some google image photoshopped results depicting.. more evolutionary parasitic examples of where fears of clusters of holes could come from. I used to be able to look at honeycombs, but now I can't. Now I can only imagine what could have caused those holes because I saw nightmare photoshops.

    DON'T GOOGLE FEAR OF CLUSTERS OF HOLES/TRYPTOPHOBIA (sp?). I know this will make some impulse-control issued people do it and I'm sorry for you/best wishes, but really, it's a shitty phobia to develop, and some sufferers/general trolls want you to develop it and have gone to some lengths.

    22, please let me know when to stop. I won't bring up the other stuff you mentioned on the forum again, but if this is a phobia that grows on you I'll shut the fuck up about this one too.

    LOL lol1337a you're fine I have this sick impulse thing where if I start thinking about my phobia too much I can't stop myself from googling pics. So I'll trigger myself randomly without anyone else's assistance. That fear of holes thing is definitely close to the one I have but doesn't freak me out as much as the bumps do!

    Reverse Trypophobia maybe?

    Trypophobia is the fear of bubbles/holes and stuff like that... so maybe there is an opposite condition to define the fear of bumps.
