Warning a huge spot on face getting popped.

I mean how could a person allow a spot to get to
the point of needing assistance to remove the puss

Not watching the video but maybe if it's a yellow head they've followed advice and not touched it? You're only supposed to squeeze blackheads.

Or, it could have been one that's developed under the skin for months and only popped up recently.

I can't believe that was real Shock. But, if it was, that was a cyst rather than a spot.

Thanks for sharing op!

fldsmdfr · 16/09/2016 01:25

That did not look professional! I can't believe someone would take a razor blade to their boyfriend's face while he lay on the carpet!

I watched that on Facebook earlier and was almost sick, which is saying something as I love gory horror movies! Still couldn't turn away though! I always wonder why they are left to get so big too.

torthecatlady · 16/09/2016 01:49

Just watched it again Hmm Why did I do that?!

Surely if you had a lump on your face looking like that, you would see a doctor not get someone to squeeze it?

I wonder if he had a scar afterwards?

QueenLizIII · 16/09/2016 01:51

Maybe there is no NHS wherever they are. Easy for us to say we'd see a Dr.

MakeItStopNeville · 16/09/2016 02:00

If that were me doing the squeezing, I would be in a weird mix of trying not to puke and trying not to orgasm.

Bogeyface · 16/09/2016 02:01

Two things

Firstly was I the only one yelling "GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE WAY?"
Secondly, was I the only one yelling "DONT CUT THE SAC! GET IT ALL OUT, YOU'VE NEARLY GOT IT ALL!"

That was good one, thank you!

Bogeyface · 16/09/2016 02:02

I was thinking the same Queen. In places where each visit to the doctor cost £££ or $$$ or whatever then people have to learn for themselves.

iminshock · 16/09/2016 02:10

It was a cyst. They are in the USA and had no money to pay to get it done.

Bogeyface · 16/09/2016 02:20

I recommend the YouTube channel of John Gilmore MD, that lovely doctor films and shares all the nasty ones!

He is a born sporner. I am so jealous :o

fldsmdfr · 16/09/2016 02:29

I wanted audio for the bit at the beginning when she first squeezes it and it splurges about a metre in the air. She jumps back suddenly and I'm sure there must have been a yelp too Grin.

I thought that about the cost of seeing a doctor. It's scary to think we're headed that way Sad

SatansLittleHelper2 · 16/09/2016 02:45

I'd have left the sac to make it refill !!

Must say tho I have noticed most these videos are American / 3rd world countries. We really are bloody lucky to live in a country where we arent scared to become ill and have to put ourselves at risk like that.

I once had an acne cyst on my face. Up near my temple. I managed to style my hair in order to keep it hidden. For months I told no one, but soon started to get scared as it simply grew and grew.

The GPS didn't know what it was and several courses of antibiotics wasn't shifting it. In the end I had to see a plastic surgeon in order to have it drained and treated. So I can completely understand how you can let them get so bad.

acasualobserver · 16/09/2016 09:25

Fuck. Watched it all. Couldn't stop myself. Traumatised. Going for a lie down.

c3pu · 16/09/2016 10:23

Subscribe to Dr. Pimple Popper on youtube (Dr. Sandra Lee), she has loads of satisfying videos like this :D

SquinkiesRule · 16/09/2016 10:30

He's going to have one heck of a bruised sore face after all that squeezing and pressing.
I can totally understand why they are doing it themselves.
I did the day clinic that dealt with this kind of thing when I was a student nurse. I was totally shocked that they can get so big, deep and full of sometimes hard pus.

PatMullins · 16/09/2016 10:37

Oh my, that was the gift that kept on giving!
She definitely shouldn't have cut the sac though.

hollinhurst84 · 16/09/2016 11:27

Not a spot but abscess - felt sore on a Friday and needed a GA by Wednesday
Amazing how quick those come up!

FreshwaterSelkie · 16/09/2016 11:41

oh my GOD! That is the sporniest sporn I've seen in ages! That poor lad. Hope it didn't scar.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 16/09/2016 11:41

Me too. Stomach churning but soooooooooo satisfying.

Tollygunge · 16/09/2016 11:55

He must have had a local for that no? Poor guy.

MillionToOneChances · 16/09/2016 12:08

He looked doped up on something. For which I don't blame him under the circumstances!

DubiousCredentials · 16/09/2016 12:10

That poor guy must have been in pain. Or he will be once whatever he has taken wears off.
