“God! Talk about a big one."

In a new YouTube video, Dr. Pimple Popper—aka, dermatologist and TLC host Dr. Sandra Lee, MD—digs a tunnel in a women’s back to remove a gigantic blackhead. And you won’t believe how deep this man-made cave goes. Blackhead And Pore Remover

In the video, Dr. Lee nicks the blackhead to make the extraction less harsh on the patient's skin. She then uses a comedone extractor to push down on the blackhead, causing an eruption of compacted skin and oil.

“God! Talk about a big one,” the patient’s husband says in disbelief.

Dr. Lee then uses a curet—which is a small, scoop-like surgical tool— to clear out any compacted skin left in the open pore. The hole left behind after the removal is amazingly and frighteningly deep, which is actually a good thing. Dr. Lee says this will help the growth heal from the inside-out, hopefully preventing any regrowth from occurring.

Toward the end of the clip, Dr. Pimple Popper removes a few scattered blackheads on the patient's back which are much smaller and go in peace. In total, the derm removes about five specks dotted around the patient’s back

During the video, Dr. Lee also flashes a gigantic inflamed blackhead hidden under a bandage on the patient's shoulder. That growth, Dr. Pimple Popper says, has to be removed another time when it is less “angry.”

“I wanted to see that big juicy inflamed one get excised,” one fan commented on the video. Well, that’s certainly something to look forward to.
