Nauseating footage shows pus erupting from a spot on a man’s back that had been there for 10 years.

The four-minute video shows a dermatologist in Hanoi struggling to remove the thick-yellow liquid from the long-lasting pimple.

Although the pus initially burst out when the medic pressed the surrounding tissue, it then became more stubborn, forcing the doctor to use tweezers and even make an incision to remove yellow-grey liquid that was stuck deep within his back.

The unnamed man went to a doctor complaining of pain in his back only to discover the decade-long pimple was behind his discomfort.

WHY DO PEOPLE ENJOY SQUEEZING SPOTS?

In July 2018, a neuroscientist explained it is normal for people to be engrossed and amazed by videos of pimples being popped.

The internet obsession is popular due to certain people having evolved to get pleasure from bumps being removed from the skin.

Videos like those made by the dermatologist Sandra Lee, aka Dr Pimple Popper, are common on social media, with the Californian doctor even having her own TV show. 

Neuroscientist Heather Berlin, from Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, says it is all down to people’s need to stay healthy and remove possibly dangerous things from their bodies.

She told the Washington Post: ‘Evolutionarily speaking, it’s normal behaviour to want to remove bumps from your skin.’ 

This is due to such bumps potentially being parasites or other unwanted visitors, Dr Berlin explained.

She added squeezing spots stimulates part of the brain that reacts to dopamine, a reward chemical, and gives people ‘a little hit of pleasure’.

After gently squeezing the surrounding skin, pus at first came out in a burst, with the dermatologist using a earbud to guide the liquid away from the skin on to cotton wool.

Once the initial thick, yellow pus was removed, a watery-blood stained mixture started to emerge. 

The dermatologist then used tweezers to pull out clumps of pus, some of which came out in string-like pieces. 

The medic continued to mop up the area, wiping the blood and pus on to cotton wool, which was laid next to the spot.

For the pus buried deep inside the patient’s back tissue, the dermatologist was forced to make a incision so the remaining thick liquid could be pulled out via tweezers. 

This continued until the medic squeezed the incision and no further pus or blood emerged.

It is unclear how the patient’s recovery has been. 

This comes after a stomach-churning video released earlier this month shows the moment a 30-year-old man’s leg cyst erupts like a volcano when his friend’s mother squeezes it.

Named only as Nick, the American man had been suffering with the painful lump on his knee for six months.

Tired of the giant spot making it uncomfortable for him to walk, Nick turned to family friends in Las Vegas who sliced it with a box cutter and squeezed the pus out.

The lump appeared to be the size of a grape at the beginning of the video and explodes three times, squirting milky fluid into the air and onto the chair beside him.

Nick was surrounded by friends who were thrilled by the grotesque experience – one afterwards described it as ‘crazy’ and ‘exciting’.
