trypophobia

Trypophobia (蓮コラ, lit. "Lotus collage", or 集合体恐怖症, "fear of aggregate patterns") is a repulsion towards seeing patterns of clusters of holes, such as those found on lotus pods and insect nests. People who have trypophobia experience symptoms such as itching and general discomfort upon looking at images with such patterns.
