As you can see in the video above, this man takes a pair of scissors to poke and prod at the abscess until a yellowish pus starts to emerge. Hopefully, you're watching this clip between meals.
How to Blast a Zit:
Due to the possibility of infection, this man's approach to eradicating this issue isn't one we'd recommend. If you're able to catch a blemish like this in its early stages—say, when it's as small as a zit—here's the three-step approach to nipping it in the bud.
1. Grab a wash cloth and soak it in hot water; press the cloth to the blemish for one minute.
2. Apply 10 percent benzoyl peroxide cream to the affected area.
3. Place a Band-Aid over the and keep it on overnight.
However, when an abscess has become as large as the one in this video, your best bet is to see a doctor or dermatologist. Keep the scissors in the kitchen drawer.
