At first it starts with a few innocent pimple videos . . . and then you want to see something a little larger so you look at a couple of boils and carbuncles . . . but then you start wanting something a little different, with a different type of epidermis involved and you happen upon tonsil stones . . . . . .

I’ve been a fan of pimple vids for quite some time but haven’t indulged in a while. Thanks for the reminder how fascinating the human body can be.

Isn’t popping pimples supposed to be bad and make it worse?

Only if you do it wrong. A doctor would know how to do it so the yuckky stuff isn’t forced deeper into the skin.

Besides, have you watched any of the videos? This is not your typical teen acne.  
And once blackheads reach the size she’s extracting, there’s no alternative.

I watched the show earlier this evening. Does anyone know if it’s going to be a series, or is it just a one-time thing?

Did anyone else notice that Delano’s girlfriend’s mom had fingernails that were at least 3 inches long? THAT was more shocking to me than anything else on that program.

It can…

… but we’re talking about an actual doctor performing goo extractions under sterile conditions with sterile operating instruments who can provide appropriate medications to either prevent or help clear up infections.

Some of those earwax videos are simply mind-boggling. Wouldn’t those people be stone-deaf if they had an auditory canal chock-full of earwax?

My ears produce prodigious amounts of earwax; the OTC drops don’t really do a whole lot, and I have to go in once a year or so to have a professional clean them out. And, yes, my hearing is noticeably better once the wax is gone.

Once you get used to it, you can eat cottage cheese or yogurt without problems.

You know, I \*was \*going to post the link tonight when I got home from work… but thanks for taking care of that. You guys are great!

I just hope when I’m gone from this mortal coil that’s not my _only_ claim to fame…
