Dr Pimple Popper – The Fault in Our Scars

Dr. Pimple Popper has become a phenomenon on the internet and has a following on TLC. Season 2 of his popular television show is slated to premiere in January 2019. Episode titles include “The World’s Largest Lump,” “The Curious Case of the Pooting Cyst,” and “An American Tail.” Watch the videos on YouTube, or visit his website to learn more about the man behind the viral phenomenon.

On his YouTube channel, Dr. Pimple Popper shows how he treated an epidermoid cyst, a form of cyst that forms when skin cells burrow under the skin. In the video, he cuts a small oval-shaped incision in the cyst’s cheek cavity and uses his fingers and surgical scissors to pop it out. He said the cyst felt “rubbery” and “just like scar tissue.”
