Shereene Idriss watches a dermatologist remove a pilar cyst from a patient's scalp. These benign cysts are often genetic and can grow large. If the cyst ruptures during removal, it releases a smell like rotten cheese.
If you have a sensitive stomach, keep scrolling. Otherwise, welcome to the circus. I'm a board certified dermatologist and you are watching an excision that I performed on my patients. Removing a pilar cyst from his scalp. A pilar cyst is completely benign. It's harmless. It's a cyst that forms around hair follicles. They either grow alone or in multiples, and they're usually genetically linked. They can outgrow their welcoming and become kind of big and unsightly and slightly symptomatic like it was for him. And so removing them is key. This particular excision is so satisfying because the whole cy cyst was removed in its entirety without getting popped. Once it pops. Oh God. Your nostrils will never be the same because it smells like rotten parmesan cheese. And if I've killed parmesan cheese for you, I'm so sorry. But that is the reality of it. So taking it out intact is always a bonus and oh, so satisfying. If you guys have any questions or want to learn more, leave them in the comment section below. Happy birthday.
