He Had a HUGE Bump on His Chin… Never Thought THIS Would Squirt Out When He Squeezed It

A wife talked her husband into visiting Dr. Sandra Lee[1] (aka Dr. Pimple Popper). He had a bump on the right side of his face, kind of on his chin line. I guess the wife is a big fan of Lee’s. Some people really need to get a hobby. This one is kind of gross. Just sayin’. Evidently, having a cyst removed is a bonding experience. The man had an epidermoid cyst. These usually occur on the face, neck or trunk of someone’s body. You might know it better as a sebacous cyst. They are usually filled with a cheesy, foul smelling substance. Lee is an expert in removing them and did not disappoint here.

Chin[2]

From Dr. Sandra Lee/YouTube:

A wonderful husband accompanied by his wife came to see me because he wanted this bump removed on the right side of his face. I was happy to help him and his wife was excited to watch the procedure, since she is a self-professed popaholic. They are so cute together, and he had a great cyst to remove.

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.

Sometimes, these bumps can get inflamed or infected. They can be unsightly and people would rather not have them. That’s where Dr. Lee comes in. I always wonder if she gives a local anesthetic first. Removing these growths along with the adherent scar tissue must be tricky and delicate. It’s not a job I would be good at. Her hands must be incredibly steady like a surgeon’s. This guy is another happy customer and this is another video that is hard to watch, but which has a happy ending.
