Jawline abscessed cyst. I push, and it pops out onto my hand! Pressure relief! Mr. PopZit 101126

First off, thanks to my patient for sharing her procedure. She found us on YouTube. This is a common scenario. The inflammation makes the wound acidic, and the lidocaine being an acid does not work as well to numb the patient. We can get the skin at the surface numb; however, the mushy, soft, broken-down tissue at the bottom of the pocket can be extremely sensitive, which limits our ability to clear every small piece of cyst contents. Luckily most of the cyst wall was intact and came out with a push. So it’s fairly unlikely it will return, but there’s always a chance. We will monitor the area going forward.
