There are a lot of words you can use to describe cysts-but "cute" is definitely not one of them.
Apparently Dr. Pimple Popper disagrees, as she just shared a new video on Instagram and swears in the caption you're about to see a "cute" cyst. Groan. Perfect example of a cute Pilar cyst , she wrote (which, by the way, is a common type of cyst filled with excess keratin and shed skin tissue, often found on the head, scalp, face, and neck).
To get to the video, you have to go through a sensitive content warning, which should tell you everything you need to know about the video before you even watch it. Once you click through, youre greeted with a still of a bump on a mans hairline. Its already circled and ready for Dr. Pimple Popper to do her thing.

Before you get a chance to prepare yourself, Dr. Pimple Popper is already getting to work on the cyst. It's cut open and she's digging around in the man's head with scissors and a hook-type tool. "I like to get these out whole because pilar cysts, which are the cysts that can be on the scalp, are often times thicker-walled," the doctor says as she snips away. "Sometimes if you cant, well just try to break it."
Suddenly, you see what looks like an eyeball emerging out of the cut as the doctor squeezes away. You doing okay? Dr. Pimple Popper asks her patient. Oh yeah, he says-with good reason, now that the huge pilar cyst is out of his scalp.
The doctor then gently grabs the cyst with her tweezers, snips away, and its free! Dr. Pimple Popper then compares the cyst to Slimer from Ghostbusters, so maybe thats what she meant by cute? Either way, were just going to have to agree to disagree with the doc on this one.
