This new genre of fetish for popping all things pimple, blackhead, and cyst have seen a huge increase in views on sites like Youtube - even we can't take our eyes off of them. The reasoning behind it can actually be explained in a psychological way according to one doctor by the name of Dr. Sandra Lee:
I think watching popping is similar to seeing a scary movie or riding a roller coaster for some. You get a rush of euphoria and excitement.
We'd like to think she knows what she's talking about. With over 2 million followers, Lee -a.k.a. Dr Pimple Popper - is one of the leading sources for these kinds of videos across Youtube and Instagram.
This video is the perfect example of it. This man has a unique technique for getting rid of all the blackheads he's got clogging the pores on his nose. It's definitely a sight to see.
