I’m sure most of us have seen the POPTHATZIT site and saw a woman attempt to extract the contents of a blackhead or cyst with dainty, hesitating fingers, attempting how to best approach. THIS ol’ girl attacks a massive cyst… …like a _motherfucker_ :eek:🆒😃 [http://www.popthatzit.com/2011/08/huge-sebac/](http://www.popthatzit.com/2011/08/huge-sebac/) ---

I got to the point where she stuck her finger in the thing, and then I had to stop. And ponder why that was the tipping point for me. ---

I can’t believe that guy wasn’t screaming when she took a scalpel and cut all the way around it, then started pushing the gunk out. ---

The soundtrack said something about Lidocaine, so they probably numbed the shit out of it before she started cutting. I liked the initial spurt, but the first serious squeeze was AWESOME! ---

Egad. I can’t bring myself to click the link either. These sort of things should be referenced in the weight loss threads, as an aid to reducing the urge to eat. ---

Oh, dear Og, yes. I was looking forward to lunch, but not now. I really need to not let morbid curiosity get the better of me. ---

I’ve seen some of the grossest, most nastiest things on the internet without batting an eye (and more often than not, continuing to eat my snacks without problem) but I can never ever bring myself to click on pimple videos, for some reason… ---

Actually wasn’t that bad - impressive in scale but not too bad. After the scalpel work though I imagine it should have had several stitches. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poppin-a-zit-like-a-boss/608335.md?page=2)
