Previously inflamed cyst, excised completely. For medical education- NSFE. Warning- graphic

Many of you may really love watching this kind of cyst excision, but actually I don’t really enjoy this particular kind. I much prefer the clean cyst excisions, when I remove the cyst intact and can squeeze out the nice, white, clean contents out later if I wish. The reason I don’t really like these […]

Small blackheads extracted. Happy Humpday Bumpday! For medical education- NSFE

Simple blackheads extractions on the face. I often use a little numbing (lidocaine plus bicarbonate and epinephrine) to anesthetize the area a little before extractions because this is much more comfortable for the patient. Also many of you notice that as I numb the skin, I shake my left hand, and this is on purpose. […]

Three patients, with their comedones. For medical education

Here are three patients I saw today, all with comedones to extract. In patient 2 I use very sharp serrated scissors. I use this instrument commonly on the eyelid or within the orbital rim of the eye. This is because in this area, there is no bone under the skin to press a comedone extractor […]

Three little blackheads. For medical education- NSFE

This patient has 3 blackheads that I extracted, with two of them under his right eye. I put a little numbing in the area, and this can often create a visible bruise in the area that is difficult to avoid, because this is the thinnest skin on the body, so it is pretty translucent and […]

Treating age spots / liver spots on the hands. For medical education- NSFE

Many people develop brown spots like this on the hands. These are usually brown colored and often flat (but they can be slightly raised as well). These are commonly called age spots and liver spots, but the medical term is solar or senile lentigos. Personally, I like to call them “wisdom spots” because we get […]

A small punch of a cyst on the cheek. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. This man had a cyst on his left cheek, a firm bump under the skin. A small punch can be used to remove it. Since he has squeezed the area multiple times, emptying its contents, there is not much to extract, but as long as I get the entire cyst sac, […]

Whiteheads and milia- comparing two women of differing ages. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. Now that I have extracted more blackheads and whiteheads in the last few months than I have in my entire career as a dermatologist (!), I have noticed a pattern. Women tend to present more with whiteheads, aka as closed comedones, rather than blackheads. Maybe this is because we, as women, […]
