A Brief History of Acne Popping Videos

If you've ever found yourself inexplicably fascinated by pimple-popping videos, you're not alone. In recent years, these videos have become increasingly popular, with people of all ages and backgrounds tuning in to watch as someone else pops their zits. But where did this trend come from? Let's take a look at the history of acne-popping videos and how they became such a phenomenon.

The first recorded instance of an acne-popping video dates back to 2010, when Dr Sandra Lee—better known as Dr Pimple Popper—uploaded a video of herself performing a cyst extraction. The video quickly went viral, and Lee became something of a celebrity in the world of pimple-popping. Since then, Lee has built up a massive following on social media, with millions of people tuning in to watch her videos every day. 

While Lee is undoubtedly the most famous (and perhaps most prolific) acne popper out there, she's far from the only one. In recent years, dozens of other people have started posting their own videos online, many of which have amassed millions of views. What is it about these videos that are so captivating? 

For some people, it's simply a matter of "I can't look away." There's something strangely satisfying about watching someone else pop their pimples—perhaps because it's something we're all too afraid to do ourselves. Others find that these videos help them feel less alone in their battle against acne; after all, if someone else is willing to put their pimples on display for the world to see, maybe there's hope for them too. 

Whatever the reason may be, there's no denying that pimple-popping videos are here to stay. So next time you find yourself with an inexplicable urge to watch someone else pop their zits, don't fight it—you're definitely not alone.
