A bad blemish at the wrong time can make you feel like someone has put a curse on you, but you've likely never experienced the level of sinister spots that Dr. Pimple Popper , a.k.a. dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee, M.D., dealt with over the weekend. You never know exactly what is lurking beneath the surface when Dr. P starts an extraction, and this rings especially true with her latest posts.
In one of the videos posted over the weekend, the camera zooms on in the blemish in question: a cyst that is a so bright red it is almost glowing. The video then cuts to Dr. P working on the initial extraction. As she cuts away small pieces of the blemish, a chunky light yellow liquid immediately starts to ooze out. A title card over the video explains that the patient's immune system has been breaking down the cyst on its own, which is why it's so liquid already.
Dr. P takes a moment to dab the gunk away with a piece of gauze before switching to a pair of tweezers to remove a small piece of skin from under the surface, which Dr. P explains is a piece of the cyst that has already been broken down.
"A cyst apocalypse!" she captioned the video.
Fans, of course, were ready to cheer on Dr. P in the comments, even if it was the end of the world.
"*aPOPcalypse," one fan wrote to add a pun to the initial caption.
"Most people do yoga before bed to relax them me on the other hand (pop) I watch you @drpimplepopper thank you for making sure I have the sweetest dreams lol!" wrote another.
Next, Dr. P takes on a cyst with a small black dot at the center that almost makes the blemish look like an eye, which leads Dr. P to write "When a little cyst is watching you..." over the beginning of the video. But, after making a small initial cut with a scalpel, the little eye is no match for a couple of squeezes from Dr. P. Almost the entire cyst comes out in one sack, and Dr. P is able to remove it with a pair of tweezers and a couple snips of her surgery scissors.
"Dont give me the evil eye! " she captioned the video.
Her weekend posts were rounded out by a quick blackhead extraction video that Dr. P posted on Saturday. She uses a scalpel to loosen the larger of the two blackheads, which, as soon as the edges are free from the skin, comes rolling into Dr. P's waiting gauze. The other small blackhead is vanished with a swipe of Dr. P's trusty extractor.
"Rolling away from the weeks worries and into the weekend!" she captioned the video.
Here's to Dr. P keeping the rest of your week rolling and poppin'.
