Dr. Pimple Popper Reveals the Things That Gross HER Out (EXCLUSIVE)

Feb. 25 2019, Updated 1:24 p.m. ET

If there's one common truth about pimples it is that you should not pop your pimples. However, I've always discovered this to be an especially arduous rule to follow. I have no idea about you guys, however I really like popping my acne.

There's nothing more gratifying than squeezing the pus out of your face and staring at the bump recede as you indulge in the satisfaction of a job smartly executed. 

If you might be large on breaking the no-popping rule like I am, you might be almost certainly obsessed with — or have a minimum of come across — Dr. Pimple Popper. She is the TLC dermatologist who will extract your grossest acne and cysts, all with a smile on her face.

It's safe to say that Dr. Pimple Popper has seen all manners of cysts, acne and blackheads — from the maximum modest to the most juicy. And whilst she comports herself with utmost professionalism, which you'll be able to know from staring at her show and YouTube channel, even she is not proof against on occasion turning inexperienced and needing to go away the room when confronted with some gnarly medical cases. 

What I wanted to grasp once I spoke to the superstar dermatologist — as opposed to how she knew to provide the internet content material they did not even know they sought after, and the way she manages to run a practice with her husband — is how she were given her extremely strong stomach and advanced ability to take on even the grossest of lumps. 

As any person who struggles to take a seat via a single of Dr. Pimple Popper's overgrown-cyst-extraction movies, I will be able to't help however marvel how exactly she become stressed out this fashion.

"My dad's a dermatologist," she begins, "and dermatology stuff has never really bothered me. We had every single textbook sitting around [the house] of various things growing out of people's skins. 

"I used to be used to seeing stuff like that, it did not bother me. I imply, there are loopy issues I see — you should see my telephone. My telephone is ridiculous. Everyone else has their households on their telephones, but I have pores and skin, zits, cysts — that's my life."

But this doesn't mean Dr. Pimple Popper is immune to all grossness of the medical variety. She shared two instances from med school that were so vom-inducing not even the pimple-popping doctor could stomach them:

"That in reality made me feel like I was going to hurl..."

"I blame it on my period!," she prefaces as a disclaimer. "But two issues happened in medical school that made me really feel nauseous."

The first? "Once, I had to watch an post-mortem and it used to be a Korean man... He seemed like anyone who — I'm now not Korean, I'm Chinese — but he appeared like a pal's father, or someone acquainted. They were taking out the mind, and they have been like, 'Pull the head again,' like, the whole thing like a masks!"

After that experience, Sandra decided she would never go into that line of medicine. Ever. "That if truth be told made me really feel like I used to be going to hurl, it was that disgusting," she said.

"I, like, became inexperienced."

The second time was during her rotation in the pediatrics department:

"There was a little kid, like 3 or 4, who came in. I do not take into account what his factor used to be, but he was once loss of life. We all needed to shoot albumin into him, because he had no drive, so we have been seeking to stick strains in him and shoot him with fluid.

"I, like, turned green."

"I think I was on my period again," she says whilst I giggle, needing no excuse for short of to go out at the sight. "So that's probably why I went into dermatology, because I don't have to deal with stuff like that. I just deal with cysts. The person is alive, and they better be alive after [I'm done with them]."

Honestly, truthful enough. 

So there you have it — even Dr. Pimple Popper, who was made well-known for her solid iron stomach, lives thru moments that are too gross for even her.

But sufficient of the med school drama. I'm off to look at extra popping vids! And don't forget to music in to Dr. Pimple Popper Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. on TLC.
