The exploits of Dr. Sandra Lee, b.k.a. Dr. Pimple Popper, have been extensively chronicled on the Internet, as the board-certified dermatologist has steadily gained notoriety by busting skin blemishes of all kinds. Her latest video is what you might call a rare breed, though: In it, Lee pops a "unicorn cyst," so named due to its central placement on the man's forehead, as well as its considerable size.

As you can see, the procedure is not pretty, as a substantial amount of blood and pus issues forth from this imposing blemish.

"'He really took good care of this cyst," Lee says in the video. "He nurtured it and let it get nice and to this size and not popped. That's impressive." Kudos are in order, we suppose.

After draining the cyst, Lee then sews up the man's forehead, hopefully leaving him with nothing but a small scar in the place where that "unicorn" once stood.

How to Blast a Zit:

Of course, popping something of this caliber yourself is completely unadvisable due to the risk of scarring and infection. If you're trying to get rid of a cyst this big, seek out help from a doctor or dermatologist of your own. However, if you're just sick of the smaller pimples on your skin, try this three-step procedure to get rid of your zits before you go to bed at night, as recommended by Adnan Nasir, M.D., Ph.D., director of dermatology at Wake Research Associates and the dermatology advisor for Men's Health.
