  • In Dr. Pimple Popper's new Instagram video, she helped a woman with an inflamed cyst hiding behind her ear.

  • The cyst had grown large and in charge for years.

  • Dr. Pimple Popper sliced it open and drained out a reddish, pink liquid that looked like "jam with mold."


Have you checked in with yourself yet today? If not, dermatologist Sandra Lee, MD, a.k.a. Dr. Pimple Popper, has a positive and optimistic check-in ready and waiting for you. It's a satisfying pop, of course, and it's all primed for viewing in her latest Instagram video.

Dr. Pimple Popper added a simple greeting in the caption: "Happy Tuesday! ?? #drpimplepopper" I don't know about you, but my day is better already.

Dr. Pimple Popper starts the procedure off by poking and prodding at the cyst. It's buried under the woman's ear lobe. It's been growing there for quite awhile. The patient tells Dr. Pimple Popper she's had it since she was a freshman but doesn't say how many years that adds up to.

It only takes a few minutes to get the stubborn cyst draining away. Dr. Pimple Popper starts by slicing into the top of the bump. She's already numbed the area, but confirms and reconfirms that her patient is comfortable and in zero pain. So far so good on all accounts. Fans are already empathizing with her and wrote, "imagine the pressure and pain of that man?!"

Then comes the exciting part: squeezing. Dr. Pimple Popper uses her fingers and adds pressure to both sides of the cyst. Immediately, a pink, creamy substance starts oozing out. The more she squeezes, the more reddish pink liquid streams out.

That is not the usual view during a cyst pop, and Dr. Pimple Popper's fans have so many thoughts about it. One Popaholic shared: "Chicken liver anyone?" And, another wrote, "Looks like the @sqirlla jam with mold." That description is too close for comfort. The cyst pop definitely offers some sweet satisfaction to everyone watching.
