The Zit-Poppin' YouTube Video That A Million People Have Sent Me The Link To

Posted by on Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 4:20 PM

zitpoppingvideo.jpg

It's after the jump. I haven't watched it. You shouldn't watch it. I won't watch it. I never watched that two-girls-one-cup video either. I have willpower like that. But just in case you wanna watch this viral zit-poppin' video—if you don't have the power to resist—it is, once again, after the jump. Don't watch it.

A gay guy knows to exfoliate his skin on a regular basis and use a non-greasy moisturizer daily.

That's an abscess.

I saw it on FB. It's amazingly gross.

It's not a zit, though, it's a boil. A grotesquely large one, at that.

That was awesome in a Discovery Health sort of way. I hope they peroxided it or did something to sterilize the wound.

Wow, a real "gotta grab the cam and post this one to youtube, babe" moment. What a natural thought when you have a huge throbbing boil on the cusp of...exploding? Being cut open? I didn't even watch it but it looks vile.

Cystic acne is a real bitch. I don't understand how the guy didn't know it was there sooner.

Speaking on behalf of all current and former sufferers of cystic acne, I would like to tell you to man up, nancy.

It's a furuncle... or a boil. Exfoliation might help, but really it's a sebaceous disorder -- over active oil production. He'll keep getting them and the only way to prevent them is to go on Accutane -- which is really serious. But they should decrease as he gets older and is less fertile.

Accutane sucks ass, but it does work.

And to all the haters out there: what if this is sexual for some people? You wouldn't want to be seen as being intolerant, would you? :P

@10


Oh, it IS sexual for some people.


Anyway, I'm not intolerant. Just disgusted. It was fascinating in a horrific way when it was in my own skin but getting off on someone else's zits is something else.

That may be MRSA. (Antibiotic resistant staph infection).

I would not be anywhere near it if I had bare (and bandaged) hands.

Like a monkey, I have a sick preening instinct..I'd LOVE to have popped that!
When I'm doing therapy with adolescents, it sucks bc I SO want to pop their zits.

hO HUM - i WAS A MEDIC IN vIETNAM.

fUCK THE KEY LOCKS ....A BOIL. bIG fUCKING DEAL.

Some of you queens need to get a grip. The girls did the right thing, they lanced it. A bit un sterile, but that is the way it has been done for centuries. They had a sharp blade. Good. You keep extracting the puss and gunk, there is a core, until there is no more. Works well to get a bit of blood to clean it out. They needed some peroxide, biotic ointment, a band aid. He is a manly sex boat who would of course be VERY butch, stoic, with the real squealing pussy doing for him.

Had they gone to a doctor, the diff. would have been a $175.00 fee .....less chance for a screw fest... he even gets points cause he can still fuck after"such an ordeal" ... god, such a man.

My guess is the guy fucks both of them later in the day after a drink or two and letting them work on the bumps on his balls and the who knows what spot on his hard dick.

Jerry, Navy Medic

(had he come to my ship board clinic, in addition, he would have had his pants off and his bare ass in the air for some reason ... I took care of my guys, but always got my skin & cock show in the process, and you don't question the doc in the service...)

@14 I know what you mean. Occasionally I've found myself popping my friends' zits without thinking about it. But seriously, who goes the entire day without realizing they have a fat white zit on their face/neck? They need help.

P.S. these folks and those in other vids like with these boils are just the age with a huge percentage of folks w/o health care. Why shouldn't they diy?

Nah, #21, I have health care, and that's the kind of thing I (and the BF) would do. We must have a minor fetish. Well, that, and we don't think that what amounts, essentially, to pimple popping requires a doctor's visit.

Oh My Fucking God.

That was almost gross enough to make me puke, and almost funny enough to make me piss my pants.

All in all, a good time was had.

Wow...unless they're poor and have no health care, they really should've gone to a doctor for that. Normal pimples will get reinfected if you don't get everything out. Can you imagine what'll happen to that thing if they missed something?!

i watched with the sound off, and all i could think was, "well, clearly, that needed doing," and "that bitch probably has staph living under those nails; couldn't she find some gloves?"

If you look closely to the first few seconds of the video, you can see the seam. I bet she didn't get everything out, cause it looked like there were several inches she didn't touch.

i had one of those a few inches further down my back about 6 years ago. it's a sebaceous cyst. my wife was out of town, and i couldn't afford a trip to the emergency room ( i was a $12 an hour cook at the time). mine was the size of my fist and started to leak on it's own. i was running a wicked fever because of it. i reached around, stuck it with my best sushi knife, and squeegeed all the goo out against the doorjamb in my bathroom, using a 40 of olde english and a pint of cheap tequila for anesthesia. it was one of the funkiest-smelling experiences of my life. i spent the next 30 minutes in a hot shower washing it. i got close to a pint of horrid funky goo out of it.

The only things worse than this video are the comments that followed. Grossss.

That was awesome. I had one of those, probably a little smaller. It popped open on its own one day and I evacuated it in this fashion as best I could. That stuff stinks, yeah. That makes the whole experience--too bad that doesn't come across on video. Mine came back and my wife made me go to the doctor. He really went to town on it with some serious pressure and knives and tweezers and whatnot. I guess there's some structure in there that you have to get out or else it'll come back. Well, he got it. Never returned after that. I wish there was a video of it.

The video was gross, sure, but what really did it for me was when the girls sounded like they were going to throw up. It made ME want to throw up.

I guess it's like yawning.

This made me think of when my sister's horse got pigeon fever and it drained. It pretty much looked exactly like that, just bigger... And then the dogs ate the stuff that came out.

@ 29 Wow, pretty intense visuals. I can totally imagine your description of events as an Æon Flux style animated cartoon. Trevor, is that you?

I had one of these, though not nearly as large, on my head. It was painful as hell because the skin on the top of your head does not stretch as nicely as on the back. Anyhow, it started weeping one day so I really squeezed on it hard to pop it. It didn't just pop, though; it exploded, with goo getting on the bathroom mirror, ceiling and light fixture. The smell was every bit as bad as the girls in the video describe. One extra little bit of grossness is that the goo in my bump also had a few little hard nodules in it.

She's like a "bare foot" doctor! Using an exact o-knife, a big shot of strong whiskey and the manly manliness of the guy who does not even flinch. DAM Americans are tough people, no wonder we're conquering the world (as God intended).

Peroxide isn't good for wounds, especially deep ones, just FYI, people. It damages living cells, as well as killing off bacteria. Yes, it hurts less than rubbing alcohol, but don't be such a scrote. Neither one should really be used on puncture or otherwise deep wounds.

At least it's not a Pilonidal cyst! Those require surgery to get rid of, and sometimes they come back anyway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilonidal_c… (Probably not mind safe.)

When my husband had one of these things, the doctor told him to have me put hot compresses on it for about 15 minutes, and then squeeze it gently and the stuff would come right out. She was right.
No exacto knife required.

Hello Everyone... It's not a zit, boil or abscess -- It's a SEBACEOUS CYST; All bodies have oil glands underneath the skin that produce oil. Usually, the oil oozes to the surface of the skin through tiny pores. This guy's pore somehow got plugged up, so all the oil -- CALLED SEBUM -- got plugged up underneath the skin. It smells bad because oil, after awhile, gets rancid.

PAM -- (see comment above) -- YOU ARE CORRECT -- NO EXACTO KNIFE IS NEEDED -- However, your doctor forgot to mention that if you also massage the cyst first for awhile, the blob of sebum will soften up and come out easier.

Hey, wear a face mask as sometimes the cyst will EXPLODE and the sebum sprays all over the place! Steeeeeennnnnkkkkyyy!

I really hope they sterilized the knife before they did that. I also would have appreciated if that girl had put on some damn gloves. As for afterward, they should have put some bacitracin on it. You don't need to be a professional to know this stuff.
