Those are more or less the exact words that escaped my lips as I watched the latest viral video on Dr. Pimple Popper's Instagram account, in which the famed dermatologist and self-identified "popaholic" unleashes a relentless river of pus from a skin abscess near a patient's mouth. Seriously, you'd need a dam to stop the flow of white liquid oozing from this thing. It's wild.

"I mean, like...why are you so ABSCESSED with me?" Dr. Sandra Lee, the woman behind the popular account, wrote in the caption. Nothing like a good skin abscess pun, amirite, folks?

"This is what I imagine when real estate agents describe a house as 'oozing with potential,'" one commenter wrote.

"Omg, I have gotten these. Just dealt with it. Crazy how much stuff really can be hiding in a small spot," another person said.

It really is hard to believe that all that gunk was lurking under this person's skin. Check it out for yourself-and prepare to have your jaw drop:

What is a skin abscess, anyway?

As you recover from watching that video, you may be wondering what, exactly, an abscess is. Also known as boil, abscesses are pus- or liquid-filled bumps that form under the skin, often as a result of bacterial infection, according to Healthline . Abscesses can form when bacteria finagle their way under the skin via a hair follicle or some other kind of opening in the skin, like a wound. There are various treatment options, including home remedies, professional drainage-like in Dr. Pimple Popper's video-and antibiotics.
