Dr. Pimple Popper's video: Splatter on the Wall Pilar Cysts

A pilar cyst, also known as a trichilemmal or isthmus-catagen cyst, is a benign (non-life-threatening) growth that, upon examination, looks identical to the more common epidermoid cyst, except that 90% of pilar cysts occur on the scalp. They tend to be more mobile and firmer than epidermoid cysts, and are derived from a different part of the hair follicle. The internal contents tend to be more "homogenous" and smooth. It is not uncommon to have multiple pilar cysts on the scalp and for the condition to run in families. Treatment is generally only for cosmetic reasons and excision with removal of the cyst and its contents is curative. The nice thing about these cysts is that they are often thicker-walled, so they can often be "popped" out whole, which not only ensures that I've removed it completely, but also leads to an extremely satisfying “pop!” Click here to subscribe to Dr. Pimple Popper: https://www.youtube.com/@DrPimplePopper/ Join All Access Memberships here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrsF4TYwmrV0QsXb8AoeHQ/join Click here to see my favorite POPS: Most Popular Pops: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJZ_ok3xiAi_zv1VpAJ84PqC-01WmRR5X Blackheads: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJZ_ok3xiAi-NJI9K_Bzv1wALDG-UIb-j DPOW’s: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJZ_ok3xiAi9dQ2J8RsfN6z_Dlu2c1evO Steatocystomas: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJZ_ok3xiAi8CLpjOBjiwBRnAoXxgfS48 Cysts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJZ_ok3xiAi-eAv8AvriKuSJ7XytfmHs2 Lipomas: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJZ_ok3xiAi8UNnfksKZJSqW0FtK1RfIP Soft Pops: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJZ_ok3xiAi_WPJHCwSWmfuLxYfivSdJ1 Poppin Off' Show with Dr Pimple Popper: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJZ_ok3xiAi_XPYwffwb2v9UYSNw4Jfqi __ Connect with Dr. Pimple Popper on Social Media: Follow Dr. Pimple Popper on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3smTOED Follow Dr. Pimple Popper on TikTok: https://bit.ly/2MXWDM9 Follow Dr. Pimple Popper on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3oU3Rz7 Follow Dr. Pimple Popper on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2MXWDM9 Follow Dr. Sandra Lee on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2LscBO8 Subscribe to SLMD YouTube to never miss a skincare video: https://www.youtube.com/@SLMDskincare More ways to connect with me: Download the Dr. Pimple Popper All Access App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dr-pimple-popper/id1483066405 Click here to begin free trial of All-Access: https://allaccess.drpimplepopper.com/ Welcome to the world of Dr. Pimple Popper, the one and only Sandra Lee, MD!
