There’s something oddly satisfying about watching a clean, precise extraction—especially when it comes to blackheads and cysts. At Contour Dermatology, we’ve seen it all, and this week’s round-up of the best short pops showcases some of the most impressive (and oddly gratifying) extractions we’ve performed.
Blackheads, also known as open comedones, are small bumps that appear on the skin due to clogged hair follicles. When oil and dead skin cells build up, they oxidize when exposed to air, turning dark on the surface. Though they’re harmless, they can be a nuisance and a source of frustration—especially on the nose, chin, and back.
Cysts, on the other hand, are deeper under the skin and usually more stubborn. These fluid- or keratin-filled sacs may not cause pain at first but can grow over time and even become inflamed or infected. That’s where expert care comes in.
Our weekly extractions highlight how satisfying—and important—it is to remove these blockages properly. With skilled hands, our dermatology team ensures the extractions are thorough, safe, and minimize any risk of scarring or recurrence. The short pops featured this week are quick, clean, and incredibly rewarding to watch.
If you’re someone who enjoys a good pop or you’re dealing with stubborn blackheads or cysts yourself, don’t wait until they worsen. Professional treatment ensures a cleaner outcome and healthier skin.
