A woman armed only with a 16 gauge screwdriver lanced a Ganglion cyst on her wrist. Nicolette Madanat was suffering from the enlarged Ganglion cyst and she decided to take care of it herself. Before I go on, allow me a moment to warn you that it is never wise to pop your own cysts especially those that have a little age on them. A professional is needed to make sure the cyst is fully drained and steps are taken to prevent infection. You could easily make a bad situation worse.
In the one-minute clip, Madanat is shown squeezing the bump — apparently for the second time in her lifetime — in order to extract whatever’s been living in there. And immediately after the initial lancing, she (along with a gloved friend) manages to extract the oversized lump. The result? A stream of icky, gel-like yellow pus. Ew, ew indeed. What’s worse is that after the fluid was drained, she seemed to be playing (yes, playing) with the excess pus for the camera. I wish I was making this up, folks. No, I really, really do.
Now, you don’t need me to tell you how unsanitary and unsafe this whole procedure is (because let me tell you, lancing your lumps — cysts, pimples, etc. — with devices found tossed in your toolbox is, by far, the last thing you should be doing in your free time), but just in case you needed a quick reminder, here it goes: If you find yourself with an enlarged lump, bump, or spot, make an appointment with a medical professional for a consultation immediately. Do not take matters into your own hands, please and thank you.
Watch — if you dare — the full clip, below. But just know, it gets graphic, y’all, so proceed on your own accord.
