With her pimple burst videos, dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee, often known as Dr. Pimple Popper, has amassed more than three million YouTube fans. One of her most recent uploads, which was initially made public on Monday, shows a pilar cyst growing inside a woman’s scalp.
The removal is quick and painless thanks to Lee’s surgical skills and some anesthetics. The cyst releases a jet in the video and Lee manages to reveal the entire structure as a single, smooth bulb.
The patient tells Lee an interesting story about an earlier attempt she made to pop one of her cysts at home during the process. After squeezing the cyst, the woman claims she saw “something pointy” poking out of it a few days later, indicating that the growth had not completely disappeared.
The incident serves as a fantastic reminder that DIY cyst bursting is mostly ineffective and possibly harmful.
Pilar cysts are benign growths that are typically found on the scalp, according to DermNet NZ, the New Zealand Dermatological Society’s educational website. Keratin, the protein that makes up hair and nails as well as the cheesy, stinky material that leaks out when a cyst is squeezed, fills the sacs in the skin that form these cysts.
The story of the “pimple” serves as a reminder that sometimes, even the most seemingly mundane situations can lead to extraordinary revelations. It’s a testament to the marvels of modern medicine and the importance of seeking professional advice when faced with unusual or concerning symptoms.
In the end, this surprising journey highlights the value of curiosity, medical expertise, and the unexpected stories that can unfold in the world of healthcare.
