This woman also has dermatosis papulosa nigra on her cheeks, which are the dark brown to black spots on her face. These don’t bother her (and they shouldn’t because they are benign), but her two large blackheads DO, and she asked me if I could remove them for her. She was so kind to allow […]

This lovely woman was the last patient of the day for me. She had three bumps on her face that she wanted removed if possible. Although, she didn’t know about my youtube channel or instagram, she is a “popaholic”, meaning, she loves to pop her own blackheads and whiteheads. Well, she couldn’t remove these areas, […]

These are skin conditions we see on nearly a daily basis, and here you can see how a dermatologist biopsies two areas. The first is an angioma, which is a benign vascular abnomality. There are also called cherry angiomas, and 100% of us get at least one by 18 years old. They don’t need to […]

For medical education- NSFE. Milia are superficial small cysts just below the skin surface. They are common and benign, but cannot be extracted by just squeezing like many blackheads/comedones can.

For medical education- NSFE. This young woman had two small firm balls under the skin on her abdomen and she was very worried about what they were. She has had lipomas removed from other areas of her body in the past. Here’s the first, smaller but firmer one. source

This one is dedicated to Cliffo, who’s on Townsville, Australia’s hit music station! (Home of Cliffo and Bec). He is a fellow admitted popaholic, and I just had the best convo on the radio with the two of them! Listen to HOTFM Townsville today! This vid is of a lovely patient came to see me […]

This patient had a rash on his lower back that one of my physician assistants was treating. She brought me in to take a look, and I couldn’t help but notice this epidermoid cyst he had on his back. I asked him if he would like me to remove it for him, and if I […]
