Image on left is from 4 days ago, but the pimple was slowly forming over around 2 weeks.

The goop was sticky, not oily. Earphones are Panasonic RP-TCM130.

I was not able to find an explanation.
Something to increase cable lifespan, lubrication, rubber disintegrating, sweat and earwax that somehow got into the cable, dielectric grease, SCP-1407, no clear answer.

At first I thought the wires just somehow twisted. Nope.

      Secure Contain Protect

      SCP is a collaborative wiki fiction edited and written by lots of people for years now. It started as kind of a novelty, a fake wiki of heavily redacted files relating to an organization’s attempts to contain cryptids and various weird things. Its evolved over time and has numerous narrative arcs etc now.

        SCP-3008 The Perfectly Normal IKEA, and SCP-3333 about a spacial anomaly on a fire tower are my 2 favorites, but I haven’t delved all that deeply either.
