Dr. Pimple Popper Pitted Cysts Against Blackheads and Fans Are Picking Favorites

Its time to pick favorites. In a new Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper aka dermatologist and TLC host Dr. Sandra Lee, MD asks popaholics to choose their favorite type of pop: blackhead pops or cyst removals. After seeing these clips, youll certainly have a hard time choosing.

In the two-clip video, which Dr. Lee calls the SuperPop Bowl, the famed derm first pops a seemingly never-ending blackhead full of gunk. Dr. Lee repeatedly presses down on the growth with her comedone extractor, each time forcing out more and more contents. Its likely one of the deepest blackheads youve ever seen on Dr. Lees feed.

In the next corner, we have a pilar cyst that is something to see. In this removal, Dr. Lee pops a cyst out of a patients head with a forceful squeeze. So forceful, in fact, that the pilar cyst pops out and rolls to a floor. Talk about a clean removal.

From the comments, it appears most popaholics favor blackhead pops over cyst removals. But, lets be honest, they are all something to see.

A blackhead is a single pore filled with dead skin and oil, which forms a black head when exposed to air. Pilar cysts are growths on the scalp that contain excess keratin , which is the protein that makes up your hair and nails.
