The Drs: Shockingly Gross Viral Video
The Doctors shared that gross skin videos are some of the most viral videos out there and they had a new one to share. Dermatologist Dr Sonia Batra got to explain the “gnarly” video becoming increasingly popular across the internet. Dr Batra explained that it as actually a video of an infected, inflamed cyst, and the white that was injected was a numbing agent, because the cysts are typically incredibly painful. A scalpel was used to make an opening and then the pus from the infection was squeezed out.
Dr Batra said it likely started as a cyst and ruptured under the skin, becoming infected. She said it probably came from an infected hair follicle. Dr Travis Stork said these are definitely ones you don’t want to treat by yourself.
