The CYST SENSE with Dr Pimple Popper

An epidermoid cyst (Epidermal Inclusion cyst, Infundibular cyst), is a benign growth commonly found in the skin and typically appears on the face, neck or trunk, but can occur anywhere on the body. Another name used is “sebacous cyst” but this is actually an antiquated misnomer, and is not a term used by dermatologists. They are also the most common type of cutaneous cysts. Epidermoid cysts result from the reproduction of epidermal cells within a confined space of the dermis. The pasty contents are mostly composed of macerated keratin (wet skin cells), which creates this “cheesy” consistency, and there can be a pungent odor. An epidermoid cyst may have no symptoms and are typically harmless. Usually people seek removal because they don’t like the appearance of these bumps, or the cyst has ruptured or been inflamed or “infected” in the past. Rupture is associated with sudden redness, pain, swelling, and local heat, and can lead to abscess formation. Also, a history of inflammation, often increases scar tissue in the area, makes the cyst more firmly adherent to surrounding skin, and makes it more difficult to remove. Surgical excision is curative, but the complete cyst removal including the entire cyst sac and contents need to be removed to ensure that the cyst won’t reoccur.

1. I love when she pulled back with the camera so that you could see his entire upper body. That way you could really get into perspective exactly how big this cyst was. They always look enormous...and it truly was. But its nice to truly know how big these things are!! This was a goooood one (Said in my best Dr. Lee voice) LOL!
2. That cyst must have been annoying as all get out.
3. im a psychopath i love how you cut the skin that easy.

    lol Just kidding that bad boy was spotless! Great Job Sandra!!
12. This one was AMAZING
13. I've always wondered if leaving some of the cyst contents could cause regrowth. Not the cyst wall, but cyst content.
14. GOD! I wish I had your job!! Not only is dermatology fascinating, but you get paid to pop people's zits & squeeze the chaos out of ppl's cysts, abscesses, lipomas, etc lumps. My ex wouldn't even let me pop his darn blackheads (clearly he had no sense of adventure), and I rarely get many to pop on myself.
