Dermatologist trades pimple popping work for video rights

A novel business model results eventually in a video that may well make you queasy.

From YT:

DEXTEROUS dermatologist Sandra Lee is bursting into the limelight - by popping explosive spots and blackheads on camera for thousands of fans. Better known as Dr Pimple Popper, she has amassed almost half a million fans on YouTube and Instagram combined in the last year alone. She even claims the ‘pimple porn’ is playing a positive role by bringing dermatology to the masses and encouraging people to look after their skin. Dr Lee is based at Skin Physicians and Surgeons, in Uplands, California, and has been a certified dermatologist for 10 years. But it was only a year ago that her popularity erupted when she began posting minor operations on social media.

I used to become physically ill because my wife likes watching these for some reason, and I'd pass through the room, look, and become nauseous.

I think it was the idea that the puss oozing out of these holes is reminiscent of insects. Once I reminded myself that it wasn't a worm being unburrowed, it got easier.

It's still not my go-to for entertainment, but it's tolerable now. It's also admirable that this Dr. realizes the stigma associated with conditions like this and is helping to change that & help people to take care of their skin free of charge.

Gah! How bad could it possibly be I thought. I only made it through the initial, um, barrage before I decided I'd had enough. I thought I had popped a few juicy ones in my day, but these things are like pimple kaiju.

People probably pop the sack squeezing it before getting anywhere near the dermatologist. Then they go because the surrounding tissue is now infected.

erm. some of these seem to be 'sebaceous cysts' - usually the sack should be removed with the cyst intact rather than expressing the keratin first.

Just curious how you can tell one cyst from another? They all look the same to me.

From watching many of her 'cyst' videos she says in the description

"The "laymans" term for an epidermoid or epidermal inclusion cyst is "sebaceous cyst", but dermatologists don't use that term because it is a mislabel, and antiquated misnomer. "

If you enjoy a good cyst removal where she talks about removing the sack also.
