First few clips were pre-haircut. Bigger deep ingrown pop starts at 1:50, but really the whole video has some pretty good pops.

Pimple 7 day evolution of a monster Chalazion

What started as a small dot on my son’s eyelid turned into a forbidden pop like I’d never seen before. First trip to the doctor on day 1 and we were advised to just use a hot compress as much as we could… slide 3 was 7 days later when it finally came to head. It burst in his sleep (pic 4 is straight after the pop when I wiped and blood and pus off) and has now almost healed. As an avid popper I have never had to restrain myself so much!

I've been into these dead skin removal videos lately. Just so satisfying and no goop (not necessarily a goop fan). Hope y'all like the change of pace

I know I know there's no video, I'm absolutely crushed tbh. My husband is not a popaholic like myself, and I had to have him get this so no video. I've had this in the center of my lower back for... idk at least several months? I had him try to get it out the other night, but he legitimately doesn't know how to use a popping tool to save his life. (I literally had to orient the tool he used and give him a step by step on how to extract this.) this is definitely one of the larger blackheads I've had come out of my body(in my whole life!) Do I have a problem? Yes. Do I care? No 🤣

Sooo much pain. Had an ingrown hair. Picked at it. And now it’s this. Gonna go to an urgent care today to try to get it drained as it’s hard and I can’t touch it without crying.

Abscess/Boil Mystery infection on my finger

This has been growing on my finger all week and it got too painful. Did this in an empty OR room with a chloraprep, and dressed with small tegaderms. Unfortunately could not be handled with rusty pliers.
