As cyst pops go, the scene is actually quite tame-certainly nothing compared to, say, a trio of egg-like pilar cysts or a huge lipoma with bodyguards that weve endured in more recent installments.
But as Dr. Lee carefully uses a pair of tweezers to extract the thick, paste-like discharge from the innards of this womans cyst, which hovers just above a tattoo, its easy to relate to her husbands queasiness. As one commenter notes, it may also beg the question as to whether or not theres a connection between tattoos and breakouts: The more I watch these videos, Im convinced theres a connection with cysts and tattoos, the comment reads.

Very little evidence of that connection, however, appears to exist. One 2013 report issued by the American Academy of Dermatology, does warn that dyes used in modern inks can lead to allergic reactions that include itching, bumps, rashes, and infections.

To avoid complications like those, the report cautions, make sure you go to a professional tattoo parlor, use sterile equipment, and consider consulting with a dermatologist if you have any chronic skin conditions. Hopefully, unlike the subject in this video, you wont have to drive an hour to find someone qualified.
I bet you couldve found someone closer if you'd put an ad out, Dr. Lee says. Theyre everywhere. Popaholics are everywhere.
Dont we know it, doc.
