I have a confession to make. It’s sort of gross but I know I’m not the only one. I love watching the pimple and cyst popping videos online. They have really gained popularity recently and it’s now extended to not only pimples and cysts, but to ear wax and ingrown hairs as well.
These videos are from all over the world too. It’s not just weirdo me in the Midwest watching these, but people all over the globe.
My fascination with these gross videos has gotten to the point that if I tell my husband to watch a video he automatically assumes it’s either cyst/pimple popping, an ear wax removal or ingrown hair removal.
Sometimes I think I should have been a dermatologist, but then I remember I’d have to go to medical school. Also, my practice would only be for popping and picking because I have no interest in the rest of dermatology.
My husband seems to be neutral on the whole pimple popping video craze. One of my daughters thinks it’s disgusting and won’t watch them with me. My other one says they’re oddly satisfying. There is a sense of satisfaction when a pimple is popped, the earwax is removed or that insanely long ingrown hair is pulled out.
So if you see me watching a video on my phone and ask to see what I’m watching, just be warned it might be gross, messy, and highly satisfying.
