Watch Dr. Pimple Popper Pluck a 'Pebble' From the Middle of a Patient's Forehead
In a new YouTube video, Dr. Pimple Popper aka dermatologist and TLC host Dr. Sandra Lee, MD removes a rock-like growth from the middle of a patients forehead. And this pebble puts up a fight.
In the clip, Dr. Lee makes a small incision in the middle of the patients forehead and attempts to push out the growth. When it doesnt expel gunky contents like a normal cyst, Dr. Lee goes in deeper to try to grasp the tiny calcified mass.
The famed derm uses a cauterizing tool to keep bleeding to a minimum, but struggles to free the tiny bothersome growth. Dr. Lee tries a stitch suspension method to remove the mass, but it wont budge. After several other attempts with tweezers and curets, Dr. Lee tried the suspension technique once moreand it works. A pesky bead-like mass emerges from the patients forehead after a long and frustrating battle.
Its like a little rock, Dr. Lee tells the patient, as she shows her the growth. You cant squeeze it. You cant smush it. In fact, the tiny growth even sounds like a rock when you bang it against something.
Dr. Lee explains that the growth is a pilomatricoma , which is a firm, mobile growth under the skin often confused with an epidermoid cyst. They are benign growths that begin in hair follicles and most commonly form on the head.
