Not a good idea. Unless they're removed with the sack intact, they'll grow back. Probably why you do it "all the time."

They need to be professionally removed.

I myself have a pillar cyst on my head that I'm having removed on Dec. 14th. Here's what I have to look forward to:

I'm not so sure, I see a lot of these videos in a hospital setting where they only lance it. With some they will pack it with medicated gauze.

I will say that the one difference I see in ones done by professionals is that they make the incision large enough so that they don't require excessive squeezing. I assume that putting a lot of pressure might force some of that puss back into other areas not so desirable.

It took you this long to "stumble" across this?

I am not starting it, but I seem to remember a vid of a woman slicing open a racquetball sized cyst on the right shoulder of some guy coming out more than a few months ago.....

Same animal?

(Oh, I wonder if this is the only vid that will be left on YouTube if that act gets passed.....)

No, I just decided to post it now. It was the one thing I thought was not too gory, yet, still eye pleasing?

Yep, if IBS's is into that kind of thing. Might have the same properties as aloe vera.:D

Could you imagine the smell that thing must give off? :D
