What are the chances that you are subscribed to BOTH Dr. Pimple Popper’s YouTube channel AND following her on Instagram? In case 6 million followers in total doesn’t say enough, the Internet LOVES watching others pop pimples, burst cysts, and extract blackheads. It can be gnarly, of course, but there is a scientific reason why we LOVE this gushing and oozing stuff. Popping pimples is weirdly satisfying, but what could happen if you took matters upon your own hands rather than those of a professional?

In this video, we look at the biology of acne and pimple popping. We also investigate the infamous “triangle of death” which is a specific area of the face that could lead to some serious health issues if you pop a pimple the WRONG way. We even offer you some tips on how to best treat pimples (hint: we don’t suggest extracting it yourself). Finally, we unravel the weird mystery about WHY our brains love popping pimple videos. Turns out, every time we watch one of these videos, your neurotransmitters light up like a Christmas tree. Whether or not you’ve been personally affected by pimples, acne is a common denominator in the lives of many. If you don’t have it now, then there’s a chance you could get it later. And even if you never get it, chances are MANY of your friends and family will be affected. Turns out pimples make the WORLD GOES ROUND. All of this, and more, Brainiacs in this installment of crazy human body related videos.
