Dr. Pimple Popper Just 'Punched' Out A Huge Pilar Cyst On Her Patient's Neck
In Dr. Pimple Popper's new Instagram video, she knocks out a surprisingly large neck cyst.
This pimple has been growing and brewing on the back of her patient's neck for 18 months.
Dr. Pimple Popper uses her punch biopsy tool to create a giant hole and squeeze all the gunk out with her fingers.
For certain cysts, dermatologist Sandra Lee, MD, a.k.a. Dr. Pimple Popper, opts to use a technique using a punch excision tool to get rid of tricky bumps. She's used it on an Olivia Rodrigo 'Deja Vu' cyst, a cyst hiding underneath a mole, and even on an eye cyst. (I know!) And in a new Instagram video, she's using the technique to remove a cyst that is on the back of the neck of one of her patients.
"Punching into Friday! π€π»π₯#drpimplepopper #cyst," she captioned the video. FYI, this extraction is exactly what you need to get rolling on a Monday.
As she gets to work, Dr. Pimple Popper uses her punch excision tool that digs into the cyst to 'punch' a hole in it before it gets fully squeezed. Once it's 'punched', she uses her fingers to press on the cyst on both sides, and as she does it spews out a thick brown and yellow gunk.
Dr. Pimple Popper talks with her patient about how long she has had the cyst for. "You've had it for a year and a half...I can't believe those Popaholic friends didn't push on it for you!" says the surprised doc.
Once the gunk is pressed out, Dr. Pimple Popper grabs a pair of tweezers and scissors to get out the sac. "There's a little sac under there" says the derm, as she uses the tweezers to grab the sac. It's a lot bigger than expected, but she easily snips it out with her scissors. She also notes that her patient's cyst might actually be a pilar cyst based on its texture.
"It might be a pilar cyst because it's a little firmer," says Dr. Pimple Popper. That's exactly what it is. And, her Popaholics are loving the punched-out excision, especially the sac removal.
"The sac removal is my faaaavorite part," one commented. And another wrote, "
I love it when the whole sac comes out intact! You have perfected your technique for getting out those sacs! ππΌπ₯ππΌ ππΌππΌππΌ"
