The clip begins right after Dr. Lee removes a patient's blackhead. But even after the removal, the famed derm feels a firm growth under the skin. Dr. Lee identifies it quicklya cyst buried right next to the growth. With several firm squeezes, Dr. Lee extracts clumpy white gunk from the hidden cyst.

Dr. Lee then turns her effort to getting the sac out, ensuring the cyst doesnt return. But that task proves to be a tad more difficult than expected. The derm has to use a surgical punch to reach the buried sac, pulling it out with ease.

As one commenter puts it, When in doubt, get the punch out! That's what I always say.

The cyst is likely an epidermoid cyst , which contains a collection of wet dead skin cells and keratin . Epidermoid cysts like this one often occur on the face, neck and body.
