Watch Dr. Pimple Popper Pop Tiny Cysts Filled with Peach Fuzz
In a new Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper pops some peach fuzz cysts that look like little tiny beads.
The growths are eruptive vellus hair cysts, which stem from hair follicles and contain "peach fuzz."
These particular cysts are rare, usually occurring in children and young adults.
In a new Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper—aka, dermatologist and TLC host Dr. Sandra Lee, MD—pops some peach fuzz cysts that look like little tiny beads. The rare growths are called eruptive vellus hair cysts—and these beauties are definitely worth a watch.
At the start of the clip, Dr. Lee pokes a growth with a scalpel, then wiggles its contents free with a comedone extractor. She tells the patient she’s unsure what exactly the growth is, saying it looks something like a whitehead. A little time under the microscope will clear that up.
Next, Dr. Lee pops several teeny tiny eruptive vellus hair cysts that look like small beads or pearls. The famed derm tells the patient that these growths have tiny coils of hair inside of them, which can be seen when looked at under a microscope.
"I didn't realize how many different cysts, blackheads, etc. existed," one fan commented on the clip. "They all look so different and pop differently. These ones are really interesting."
While this fan revealed at the educational value of the clip, another fan simply commented, "GET IT OUT!"
Eruptive vellus hair cysts are growths stemming from vellus hair follicles. The growths contain the light, barely-noticeable vellus hairs all people have covering their body, which some call peach fuzz. These particular cysts are rare, usually occurring in children and young adults. They most commonly occur on the chest, limbs, and abdomen.
