The INSIDER Summary:

  • A man uploaded a video to YouTube showing him popping a giant bump — possibly a cyst — on this face.
  • It's a lot to handle, even for diehard fans of popping videos. 


Fans of pimple-popping videos love to watch clogged pores ooze pus and gunk — for a lot of people, it's satisfying and soothing. But Women's Health found a pimple-popping video that even seasoned popaholics might have trouble stomaching.

The video — published July 18 on the Dennis Flint Productions YouTube channel — shows a man squeezing mustard-esque liquid out of a bump just by by his right ear. The video is titled "Squeezing Huge Pimple," but the growth looks a lot more like a cyst than a standard zit. One key clue: The man in the video notes that the liquid coming from the lump smells bad — that's a key feature of epidermoid cysts, according to the Mayo Clinic. 

The short video doesn't show a complete drainage of the bump — just the initial few squeezes. But that's probably a good thing.

"One to get your gag reflex going!" the video's caption reads. We'd advise you to take those words literally. 

Watch the whole video below, if you dare:
