Spot bursts so loudly twice it shocks doctor removing it

  • California-based Dr Michael Lewis donned his blue gloves for the procedure
  • Using his fingers, he applied pressure to both sides of the nasty mess
  • It makes a loud pop, then another as pus can be seen oozing out 

The sound of a spot bursting twice was so loud, it shocked the doctor who was removing it.  

Dr Michael Lewis, who runs a clinic in Woodland Hills, California, donned his blues gloves as he tackled the angry lump. 

Using his fingers, he applied pressure to both sides of the lump and pus can be seen oozing out of the hole in the unnamed patient’s skin. 

At the end of the clip, the doctor shows a revolting piece of paper that’s covered in gunk.

‘It’s one of my favourite things to do’ 

Dr Lewis, who graduated from medical school in 2005, said: ‘I have always enjoyed performing procedures – It is one of my favorite things to do.

‘I perform multiple procedures weekly from simple things like cleaning out ear wax and joint injections to removal of masses on the skin.

‘Nothing bothers me too much as far as procedures go, however if the smell is bad, it can be really tough.’ 

...And it bursts again, oozing pus

California-based Dr Lewis says popping spots is ‘one of my favorite things to do’

WHAT ARE CYSTS? 

Cysts are noncancerous, closed sac-like structures that can be filled with fluid, pus or other materials.

They are common and can appear anywhere on the skin.

Cysts can develop as a result of infection, clogging of the sebaceous (oil) glands or around foreign bodies, such as earrings.

They are round, dome-shaped bumps that tend to be yellow or white in colour.

Usually painless, they can become tender, sore and red if infected.

Most cysts disappear on their own, but some may need to be drained to relieve pain.

Self-treatment by squeezing or popping the cyst yourself is not advised as it could exacerbate the underlying cause. 

Many of Dr Lewis’s patients come to him suffering from a common cyst, known as an epidermoid cyst.

These are made up of wet skin cells, giving it a ‘cheesy’ appearance when popped. This is often accompanied by a pungent aroma.  

Other squeamish videos

It comes after MailOnline reported on a squeamish video of a man who underwent a surgical procedure to force his eyeball to move about in its socket.

Doctors in Brazil carried the procedure out to test his eye movements after the man, who remained unidentified, suffered a nasty fall. 

In another, ophthalmologist Dr Arteaga Sánchez struggles to remove a ball of pus from an eyeball. 

The unnamed patient, believed to be male and from Madrid, is thought to have been suffering from a ‘fat pad’, or pinguecula, in his eye.
