Dermatologist Reacts: Pimple Pops Gone Wrong… Where Are the Gloves?!

Ever wondered what goes through a dermatologist’s mind when watching pimple pops and extractions? 👀 In today’s reaction, I’m diving into TikTok clips that range from meticulous medical extractions to… let’s just say, some questionable hygiene choices. From massive sebaceous filaments to deep, stubborn cysts — and yes, more than a few “no glove” moments — we’ll talk technique, safety, and skin care aftercare. As always, I make these videos to support my mobile dermatology clinic, providing free care to underserved communities. Your likes, comments, and shares help keep this mission alive. 📌 Skincare tip: Gloves aren’t just for show — they protect BOTH the practitioner and the patient from infection risk.
