If you're inexplicably drawn to a good, hard pop from Dr. Pimple Popper, then you're going to love her latest Instagram video.

In a new video posted Thursday, Dr. Sandra Lee, MD-the dermatologist and TLC star behind the wildly popular Dr. Pimple Popper account-treats a patient with a pilar cyst on their forehead.

What is a pilar cyst?

Pilar cysts are noncancerous growths that develop around hair follicles, according to Healthline. They're also known as trichilemmal cysts or wens.

Sometimes pilar cysts are filled with messy fluid, but other times, their contents emerge in the form of a hard, round mass (remember the one that looked like a macadamia nut?). The latter is the case in Lee's latest video.

"I heard you Popaholics like a good #hardpop... here ya go!" she wrote in the caption of the video. Lee also asked her fans to tell her what food the cyst reminded them of, because there's no such thing as "too gross" when it comes to Dr. Pimple Popper.

Lee suggested the cyst looks like a jellybean, and we have to agree. Other commenters said garbanzo bean, lima bean, garlic, hominy, and even a tiny pickled onion.
