Dr. Pimple Popper Pops 'Movie Theater Butter' Cyst

In a new Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper pops a steatocystoma that overflows with oily, buttery contents.

Get ready to squirt on all that extra butter, pop(corn) lovers. In a new Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper aka dermatologist and TLC host Dr. Sandra Lee, MD pops a cyst that overflows with oily, buttery contents. Your movie-time snack will never look the same again.

In the quick clip, Dr. Lee punctures the buried cyst with a surgical blade, then squeezes the growth with a firm hand. With little struggle or trouble, a river of oily, buttery yellow contents comes flowing out of the mass.

Like the movie theater butter, Dr. Lee captioned the video. And it truly looks like the oil-based fake butter youd get from a cinema.

The fact that it actually looks like butter is frighteningly awesome, a fan commented on the video, further proving the disturbing resemblance. Another added, "No! Don't ruin popcorn for me." Sorry. It happened.

This particular type of cyst is called a steatocystoma. Steatocystomas are small, benign lumps that are filled with sebum, a yellowish, oily substance that helps lubricate the hair, skin, and nails, according to the National Institute of Health .
