• Dr. Pimple Popper’s newest patient thinks his history of skin ailments is rooted in exposure to pesticides and herbicides from farm work.
• Environmental pollutants, once common in agriculture, are linked to all kinds of cancers and a form of acne.
• Dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee, MD presses on his whiteheads with a comedone remover and yellow gunk snakes out.


In addition to providing a wealth of info on dermatological conditions and some good gasps, Dr. Pimple Popper's video streams make up the weirdest talk show on the internet. As the camera focuses on a gumball-sized cyst halved by an incision or a stream of goo snaking out of a crushed whitehead, a voice from somewhere describes the pleasures of lobster bisque or recounts a deployment during ‘Nam.

In a new Instagram clip, Dr. Sandra Lee, MD interviews a patient about his early life spent farming, which he thinks is the cause of a removed tumor, from which a scar is visible. “I really think it’s the pesticides and herbicides,” he says, as Lee presses on his face with a comedone remover and yellow gunk snakes out like Silly String. “We had row crops and citrus and avocados.”

Studies have long traced the chemicals in pesticides to an array of cancer sites and those who worked the fields, particularly before awareness grew, are especially at risk.Environmental pollutants can also lead to a kind of acne called “chloracne,” which may explain why this middle-aged-sounding gent has a case worthy of a world-class dermatologist’s attention.

This has not stopped his involvement in farming, we learn. “I went into the corporate world and then later in life I bought a produce company out in Salinas … and a ranch in the Salinas Valley,” he explains jovially as Lee squishes his skin and reddens his face.
