Just watching this programme on Channel 5 and though it is disgusting I am fascinated by it. If you are squeamish, read no further!

I think I might be a bit weird! It's about removing cysts, lipomas etc from under the skin. The surgeons and nurses are amazing, squeezing out horrible things from these people and often they must smell foul. The patients and the surgeons were often very funny in their comments and the patients were without exception so relieved and thankful afterwards. Honestly who can say they haven't squeezed a spot and felt the relief and satisfaction when it pops? wink This was on a much grander scale.

My DD shares your mindset but I find this absolutely gross and would never watch such a programme.

DiL is a dermatologist and so has to tackle such stuff on a daily basis.
She suffered bad acne as a teenager and wants to help similar sufferers.

I confess I find this fascinating too. I can only watch it when I'm alone though definitly not DH's 'thing'

I've started watching The Bad Skin Clinic. It's about a clinic in Harley Street, starring an Irish dermatologist. It's on Quest Red.
I also like Dr. Sandra Lee, Dr. Pimple Popper. I came across her on YouTube, but she has a television programme too.
They are quite nauseating at times, but compulsive viewing nonetheless.
