A cyst and a blackhead meet up at Dr. Pimple Popper's office!
Blackheads are something we are all familiar with, but did you know they are also called open comedones? Blackheads are usually caused by a pore that gets clogged with keratin (skin protein) and sebum (oil). Given the black color many believe these spots are clogged with dirt, but really it’s the exposure to air that oxidizes the clogged pore and turns it black. Don’t worry though, most blackheads can be extracted with a trusty comedone extractor!
This under arm (axilla) cyst put up quite the struggle at first, but once it was on board it couldn't escape the pop!
