Dr. Pimple Popper eases into this pop with her scalpel. She slowly creates an opening on top of the bump, slicing a little bit deeper each time. "We're going to take out a tiny little opening there," she says. Still not sure exactly what she's dealing with, Dr. Pimple Popper predicts the bump is a steatoma. "It's pretty soft too," the doctor says as she adds to her pile of evidence.

"You never squeeze any of these?" Dr. Pimple Popper asks. "No, never," her patient replies.

"This is what's called a steatocystoma," the doctor explains. "It's a type of cyst that... produces oil." Generally, steatocystomas are benign and can develop in multiples. When they do they become a steatocystoma multiplex. Fancy! They contain sebum, an oily, yellowish substance.

That's why it looks exactly like melted butter pouring out of the opening. The contents of the steatocystoma are oil, after all. "Just to gross you out, it kinda looks like butter," Dr. Pimple Popper tells her patient.

Back to the popping action. There's no question when Dr. Pimple Popper's gradual slicing reaches the insides of the steatocystoma. The oily sebum oozes out in a yellow stream. More comes gushing out with each squeeze. Who knew that little bump could hold so much buttery goo?

Consider short stacks officially ruined.
