Popping a Blackhead in Ear with Needle and Tweezers [WATCH]

 

 

Be sure you are eating while you are watching this. My cousin filmed using a USB Microscope while doing the “surgery” at the same time. I believe the magnification is up to 800x.

 

 

A comedo is a clogged hair follicle (pore) in the skin.[2] Keratin (skin debris) combines with oil to block the follicle.[3] A comedo can be open (blackhead) or closed by skin (whitehead), and occur with or without acne.[3] The word comedo comes from the Latin comedere, meaning “to eat up”, and was historically used to describe parasitic worms; in modern medical terminology, it is used to suggest the worm-like appearance of the expressed material.[1]

The chronic inflammatory condition that usually includes both comedones and inflamed papules and pustules (pimples) is called acne.[3][4] Infection causes inflammation and the development of pus.[2] Whether or not a skin condition classifies as acne depends on the amount of comedones and infection.[4]Comedones should not be confused with sebaceous filaments.

Comedo-type ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is not related to the skin conditions discussed here. DCIS is a non-invasive form of breast cancer, but comedo-type DCIS may be more aggressive and so may be more likely to become invasive.[5]
