Its going to be watery, I think, says a hopeful-sounding Dr. Sandra Lee, MD her biopsy punch freshly plunged into a skin bump, at the start of a new Instagram video .
The dermatological social media superstar known as Dr. Pimple Popper was not disappointed. Using tongs and scissors, Dr. Lee pulls out a line of watery pus from the silent numbed-out patient. As the substance exits the skin, each layer is a different color on the cyst discharge rainbow: sickly green, creamy white, decayed grey, some mole-tint brown thrown in, and even gelatinous aquamarine.
Youre right, Lee says, a little blueish kind of growth.
She theorizes that the soggy cyst is maybe a steatocyst. Steatocystoma multiplex , the underlining condition, is a genetic skin disorder, characterized by the development of noncancerous cysts called steatocystomas, in the sebaceous glands. These glands produce sebum, an oily substance that lubricates the skin and hair and this secretion fluid makes up the mass within steatocystomas, perhaps explaining why this whopper is so moist.
