Published on October 14, 2019, Dr. Pimple Popper, a dermatologist, shared a video on her YouTube channel where she extracted multiple pilomatricomas from her patient's face and eyelid.
A pilomatricoma is a noncancerous skin tumor associated with hair follicles, more common in people aged 20 and younger. According to the National Institutes of Health, once surgically removed, they are unlikely to recur.
Dr. Pimple Popper initially thought the growth was a cyst or blackhead but later realized it was a pilomatricoma. She used her scissors to release the solid contents, trimming away around the boulder until it was finally freed.
She then moved on to the pilomatricoma on the eyelid, working closely to the eye. Her patient's fans were impressed with her work, with one commenting, 'How could that fit in such a small space! Holy Cow.'
Dr. Pimple Popper's fans were also entertained by her determination to extract the pilomatricoma, with one fan joking, 'I got so frustrated I began to feel like an exorcist! GET OUT! COME FORTH! BE GONE SATAN!'
