That would make a great party video, doncha think? 
(Note: I couldn’t finish watching it. I saw just enough to not throw up.)
No I am not.
I’m still traumatized from reading [url=“http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=3492&p=4”]this* Something Awful article.
Someone with the user handle “Smeghead” won’t look? Hmph.
Bud Dwyer jokes never fail to get laughs from me. My high school buddy seemingly had one a day for weeks after it happened. But, unfortunately, I seem to have forgotten them all.
As disgusting as the video is, I’d rather watch it than stare at a close-up picture of pores plugged with large blackheads. I saw something like that once and gagged. :eek: 
It’s a simple (albeit HUGE) sebaceous cyst. Jeebers, you people get worked up easy.
I had one of these things on my back a few years ago, that stuff coming out of there is FOUL smelling, as you may expect it to be. They’re usually dealt with using antibiotics, or go away on their own.
Kinda yucky, but not as bad as it seems…
Although the spoon makes the whole scene that much more perverse.
I’m so not going to watch that.
But perhaps this would be a good thread to bookmark in case one goes on a diet and needs to kill their appetite?
Oddly enough, I was fine watching the video and reading the thread until I got to that. Now there’s an image I can’t get out of my head and wish I could. Yeech!
buttonjockey has it mostly right.
It’s not infected, it’s not a tumor, it’s not a boil, it’s not a zit.
It’s a sebaceous cyst and the material expressed out of it is not pus. It is caseous material. Smells nasty. Like old cheese that smells like people’s feet.
Since it doesn’t appear that they removed the cyst itself, but rather just drained it, it’s liable to recur.
Antibiotics are generally not indicated. 99% of these things are not infected at the time they are drained. Some dopey docs just feel that because it’s full of nasty smelling stuff, that it must need antibiotics.
These things are pretty common. I haven’t dealt with one in a patient in nearly a week now.
BTW, they did not use universal precautions in dealing with this thing, thereby putting themselves at risk for Hepatitis B and C and HIV. Gowns, gloves, masks and eye protection should be employed when dealing with bodily fluids.
that’s it…we need a TMI thread…
with pictures/videos…
who’s gonna start it???
So that pod looking thing that popped out and all that yankin and pullin didn’t remove it? Damn I hope I never get one of those things!
So I looked up sebaceous cyst at Google Images and found some rather interesting photos, such as one of a large cyst just below the brow. It was bound to leave a pretty large crater on his face. :eek:
Might as well. Sharing is caring.

IIIIIIICCCKKKK!!!
And no, I haven’t looked at any of the links. Just the discussion here is squicking me out.
:: shudder ::
Oh! My! God! I was NOT expecting the removal.
From the above link:
“The content was made up of cheesy materials.”
Note the plural.
Not just one type of cheese. Several. I’m guessing warmed Neufchatel, shredded Monterey Jack, and some crumbled Stilton.
Having grown up with a Filipino dad who ate traditional Filipino food (fish eyes, duck embryos, etc.), I’m hard to gross out. Still, that was quite grimace inducing.
Who’s hungry?
Well, if you’re a sucker for punishment, here’s another nasty one.
Looks like an infected ear piercing.
Crank the volume and you can actually hear the pop. That was the gag-trigger for me.
Eeeeeeughhhh! That was worse than the original for me because I once had an infected ear piercing. It was NOTHING like that, though, but still…~shudder~
Guess I missed the pod extraction. Sounds like they got the cyst out after all.
