  • In Dr. Pimple Popper's latest Instagram video, she popped her way through a hump day special.

  • The dermatologist compared the pimple to "popcorn" and ruined snacks for fans everywhere.

  • Dr. Pimple Popper squeezed with her fingers until the lipoma popped out.


Dermatologist Sandra Lee, MD, a.k.a. Dr. Pimple Popper, is the queen of comparing her pops and extractions to different kinds of food. For example: this 'caviar' lipoma, these 'cheese' blackheads, this 'rotten egg' cyst, and these 'Skittles' steatocystomas. And she totally knows this about herself. She called it out in the caption of her latest Instagram video, where she squeezed out two 'popcorn' lipomas from a male patient's arm.

"I know not everyone likes the food references, but you can't deny these lipomas look just like POPCORN! 🍿 New video 'Good Eats & Popcorn Lipomas' is up now on YouTube! Link in my bio #drpimplepopper," she captioned the video.

In the video, she has her patient's skin sliced open and ready to be extracted using her hands. "Okay are you ready?" she says as she starts to squeeze out one lipoma.

"It's cute!!" she says. "He's very smooth, look at how smooth his skin is. It's beautiful. It's lipoma skin," says Dr. Pimple Popper. From there she uses a pair of scissors and tweezers to fully remove the lipoma.

Once the first one is removed, she goes on to the second one that has a slightly different shape. "He was a pancake though, see? He was under another layer," says Dr. P as she extracts the second, more flat-looking lipoma.

And her followers definitely agree that the lipomas look like food items. "Looks more like bubble gum," one wrote, while another commented, "Scallops n popcorn shrimp." Although a different fan was seeing something totally different. "No, not popcorn. Jellybeans!" No matter what you saw, it was all satisfying.
