Watch Dr. Pimple Popper Go 'Fishing' for a Sebaceous Cyst
In a new video, Dr. Sandra Lee, MD—aka Dr. Pimple Popper—ties surgical stitches around a man’s sebaceous cyst to loosen it.
Dr. Lee compares the crafty technique to fishing.
Sebaceous cysts, created from blockage or damage of oil glands, are frequent stars of Lee’s videos. This one had been growing beneath the patient's eye for a decade.
Every Dr. Pimple Popper video is like a fishing trip: You never know what’s going to come up from the surface. White goo, black crud, bloody puss, calcified “river rocks”—these are the carps, trout, herrings and tunas of Dr. Sandra Lee, MD’s world.
In her latest video, the dermatological angler uses a surgical stitches to pull out a stubborn sebaceous cyst, making her extraction process even more fisherman-evoking.
When grabbing it with a surgical suture and yanking doesn’t free the pink puffy mass from the man’s face, Dr. Lee pokes it with surgical stitches and ropes the line around the cyst to help loosen it. With some cutting and pulling, Dr. Lee finally jimmies it out of its lair beneath a patient’s eye (where it had been growing for about ten years).
“Ever been pop fishing?” she asks in the video’s description. “A little hook, line and pop!”
“That one was not happy,” declares the TLC host.
Sebaceous cysts, caused by blockage or damage to the glands that produce oil for the hair and skin, are frequent stars of Dr. Pimple Popper’s Instagram videos, because of their variety of size and internal consistency. She’s pulled out a few large and notable enough to stuff and mount on a wall.
