If Dr. Pimple Popper had a word cloud, it would likely include the words "cyst," "pus," and "Jesus f*cking Christ." It would likely not include the word "unicorn." Yet here we are! Watching her attack a "unicorn cyst" that's been brewing for six years on her patient's forehead (that's because it's on his head where — you get it). Here we are, indeed.
Anyway, I don't really want to talk about, but I will say what's in there is not rainbows and sparkles, it's bloody membrane and projectile pus. Enjoy! :)
Dermatologist Dr Sandra Lee, better known as Dr Pimple Popper, takes about 20 minutes to scalpel, squeeze and push the cyst out of the man's head.
The patient featured in the video with the massive cyst said he tried to pop it once and fluid-like cottage cheese came out.
'It was really blotchy,' he said to her while she was questioning him about the cyst.
But that was six years ago and since then the cyst had grown to the size of a ping pong ball.
Cysts are enclosed sacs enveloped in membrane tissue. The tissue often makes them more difficult to pop that regular spots or pimples, which are usually caused by a pore blockage.
They don't usually hurt but will become tender, sore and red if they get infected.
Dr Pimple Popper cuts into the cyst until she is able to squeeze out the pus that's inside.
When she squeezes the lump it erupts with yellow pus.
She continues squeezing it until all the pus has been pushed out and she is able to stitch up the wound.
Dr Lee said in the video: 'He really took good care of this cyst. He nurtured it and let it get nice and to this size and not popped. That's impressive.'
The patient wore headphones during the entire procedure because he is afraid of needles.
Dr Lee said she recommends using headphones for her patients especially if they are having something done to their head.
This helps block the noise of the instruments working right by the ears.
Dr Lee removed extra skin and tissue in the cyst once all the fluid was removed.
She wanted to minimize the extra skin so that the scar could heal flat along his face.
Her main concern throughout the procedure was getting rid of enough tissue so his face would properly heal but avoiding cutting away too much because it would widen the scar line.
She still had to extend her original cut a little to avoid two small bumps replacing the large one.
Dr Lee then cauterized the exposed capillaries and sewed the skin up once so the patient's forehead could return to normal.
