Okay, raise your hand if your friends have roasted you for A) wanting to pop their zits or blackheads for them or B) watching countless hours of Dr. Pimple Popper doing just that. 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
We can't help but admit watching pimple-popping videos is one of our guiltiest pleasures — seriously, why is it so oddly satisfying?! There's just something about seeing all that icky goop escape people's pores while scrolling through your TikTok For You Page or YouTube Recommended. And, even though you're not *technically* supposed to pop your pimples, you have to admit it feels so freeing to see specialists work their magic on a golf ball-sized blackhead or uncomfortable armpit pimple.
If that sounds like your ideal way to wind down, get ready to catch nearly an hour of the most shudder-inducing and disgustingly satisfying pimple-popping footage on the internet below.
A cluster of blackheads you wish you could tackle
Watch as this doc takes out an entire family of blackheads – the babies, the momma, and the MONSTER daddy (which includes a stream of greenish pus).
A big old lip pimple, plus a bunch of others
Is it just me, or are edge-of-your-lip pimples the most satisfying to extract? (Look at me, using 'extract' in a sentence, like a doctor.) Click play for those, plus a whole face of other spots just waiting to be popped.
Quite possibly the nastiest blackhead extractions you've ever seen
This is like if your blackheads got bitten by a radioactive spider and became SUPER blackheads.
This is a bacne gold mind
Blackheads + bacne = a popper fanatic's dream.
Proof that even YouTubers have nasty cysts
Your two favorite YouTube channels combined: Logan Paul and Dr. Pimple Popper. Enjoy!
This video redefines the word "volcano"
We've all referred to a pimple as a "volcano" at some point or another.... clearly that was an exaggeration.
If you're interested in geyser-like extractions, click play
Tons of tiny bumps are extracted in such little time. It's basically a record.
This is the ultimate cyst popping video
Only watch this if you really love puss.
Apparently, you can get blackheads inside your ear...
I hate this.... but I can't stop watching.
...And on your eyelid.
Anything is possible.
There are no words for this one
Did you see that? Was that all puss?
This golf ball-sized cyst
The relief this person must feel!
This literal sack that is extracted from someone's ear
So, you can really get a blackhead anywhere, huh?
This skittle-sized monster blackhead
This is another video from the pimple-popping queen Dr. Sandra Lee, aka the woman who basically put the trend on the map. This video is so crazy because it's like a seed pops out of the patient's face!
A tooth infection that counts as a zit because of all the pus
This looks so painful, but this person takes it like a champ. That being said, DO NOT use scissors to pop anything anywhere on your body! Seriously. You can risk getting an infection and doing even more damage.
This blackhead that is so big it probably has a mind of its own
The hole this blackhead leaves in her back when it is removed is SO frightening, but I can't look away.
This thing that looks like a fungus
OK, I think this wins for most disgusting.
Pimple in the pit
We can't imagine how uncomfy this pit pimple is. 😖
Dr. Pimple Pop Culture
Dr. Pimple Popper herself referenced Squid Game in one of her most popular extracting videos.
You may want to scrub your knees extra hard after watching this...
Who knew a massive pimple could appear on your knee, of all places?
This blackhead is 55 years old
I can't wrap my head around the fact that it's older than me.
Imagine walking on this...
Aaaand this is why I'm never barefoot.
Small but mighty
It may not be the largest cyst, but its contents are pretty thick.
Shot out of the nose
You may want to wear goggles if you're going to pop something like this.
A whole new explosion
There's so much to unpack here... literally.
