Oh, geez. I am so glad I skipped breakfast this morning. Nothing like a video from Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper) to put you off your feed. Don’t get me wrong… the woman is an expert in her field… there is no one better at what she does. But watching her do it is something else. Ewww.
This one is epic. It is a cyst as big as a doorknob and benign, thank goodness. She calls it a meatball of a cyst in the upper arm. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one this large before. How do you exist with something like that? This is a man and he has never drained this before. Well, the good doc is about to take care of that, so buckle up.
From YouTube:
An epidermoid cyst (Epidermal Inclusion cyst, Infundibular cyst), is a benign growth commonly found in the skin and typically appears on the face, neck or trunk, but can occur anywhere on the body. Another name used is “sebacous cyst” but this is actually an antiquated misnomer, and is not a term used by dermatologists. They are also the most common type of cutaneous cysts. Epidermoid cysts result from the reproduction of epidermal cells within a confined space of the dermis. The pasty contents are mostly composed of macerated keratin (wet skin cells), which creates this “cheesy” consistency, and there can be a pungent odor. An epidermoid cyst may have no symptoms and are typically harmless. Usually people seek removal but they don’t like the appearance of these bumps, or the cyst has ruptured or been inflamed or “infected” in the past. Rupture is associated with sudden redness, pan, swelling, and local heat, and can lead to abscess formation. Also, a history of inflammation, often increases scar tissue in the area, makes the cyst more firmly adherent to surrounding skin, and makes it more difficult to remove. Surgical excision is curative, but the complete cyst removal including the entire cyst sac and contents need to be removed to ensure that the cyst won’t reoccur.
These videos are like a train wreck… you know you shouldn’t watch, but you just can’t turn away. The guy sounds Spanish. This one was very tough for me to watch… there’s just soooo much ick inside this thing. The doc calmly opens it, cleans it out and patches him back up.
If you want to lose weight, just watch these videos. That’ll do the trick.
