[@KT-cz7rm]

A cut with an extremely sharp knife really doesn't hurt much. Many people get cut with really sharp things and don't even feel it (happened to me in a hardware store. Should've gotten several stitches). There's much less resistance. Skinning your knee would hurt way more than his home surgery.

[@Wolf-Ishkode]

You're pain tolerance must be low? I've been through loads of situations where I've been wounded (not by my own hands) that left me nearly dead. Anyone who's stubborn enough like this guy can do stupid things to themselves with the wrong encouragement. Though I agree with many people who commented that insurance is insane in the US. It still is not at all safe to do this, even if your tolerance is high, like mine or someone else. Dr. Lee was extremely worried for his safety and for good reason, if done once he may do it again and the next time he might not be so lucky.

[@Wolf-Ishkode]

He did it to be cool. The one he removed wasn't that big (looking at the scar) nor was it even visible to most people. He knew it was a lipoma before he did it, so he knew he wasn't saving his own life. And look at the way he smiles at Dr. Lee when he mentions it. He didn't smile from relief but from being cool.

Honestly, it dud heal well. It's very even, so it didn't get infection drain poorly or reopen frequently, and the color is very good. The size is minimal for using a regular blade. It's a great scar. The dent isn't unusual, even for hospital surgeries, but sutures that went deeper could, possibly, have lessened that, but may have caused discoloration instead.

I can empathise, as I’m forced to remove my own (reoccurring) ingrown toenails; because I’m immune to local anaesthetic & many other things, even epidural. My mum tried to ask if they’d consider general anaesthetic for the ingrown surgery, but they refused. They expected me to just lie there & let them stick me with needles full of stuff that doesn’t work & then yank out the whole nail without ANY kind of working numbing/pain relief. I more or less said “F*ck that” & I started learning how to do it myself, in a way that caused little pain & no crazy amounts of blood. I’ve had some shocked nurses tell me “Why don’t you give the local anaesthetic another chance? Maybe it’ll be different now.”, but they have no idea. They could give me a heavy dose of IV morphine & the difference would only be barely noticeable. Heck, even all my dental work had to be done under general anaesthetic! So, yeah. Always consider before judging someone’s actions to self-operate. Some people just don’t have any other choice. 🥺🤷‍♀️

But I wouldn't ever ask for that bc of ppl that abuse it.

I'd rather go to a doctor or a clinic if I suspect something is wrong. I refuse to perform surgery on myself because that crap hurts and I don't want to hit an artery or a vein, bleed out, develop a serious infection or worse, die. My boyfriend constantly says stuff like if he had something similar to these patients, he'd cut it off himself but luckily, his sister in law intervened and said that if he did such a thing, he could develop infections and end up having to pay way more just to get treatment for infections. Infections aren't a joke and they could lead to sepsis, which is fatal. My aunt died from sepsis due to medical malpractice from her doctor not changing her dressing for a treatable cellulitis and my boyfriend's godmother died from sepsis back in 1989.

I have never seen Dr.Lee have this much admonishment for any of the many patients who ignored their health issues for years before coming to her. Why is she so understanding towards people who overlook their optimal health considerations by doing nothing, but not people who learn about their issues and address it themselves to go negative outcomes??????

[@zekrambelserion5939]

I'm just a normal citizen with common sense, Dr. Lee is right to be angry with him, not because he took out his lipoma on his own, but how he did it. First of all he did it in a un-sanitized place with un-sanitized tools and i know surgeons sanitized theirs 10x before doing surgery, but he did in un-sanitized place with many bacteria flying around and dropping while he's doing his DIY surgery also bruhhh.... just because you bravery DIY surgery yourself, doesn't mean that doctors all over the globe will see you as their peers, i mean doctors study their specialties to get where they are and to safely treat us with their right knowledge and second he uploaded it in the internet and calling it "knowledge".

Just like this gentleman, I too removed a sebaceous cyst from my head. I’m bald and so it stood out and it really played with my self esteem. Long story short, I got a mirror above my head, put some ice on top of the cyst, some alcohol, and I cut it out with a single blade barber knife. My aunt, whom I lived with at the time and was a nurse, lost it on me! Just like Dr. Lee said, my aunt feared I could’ve cut open a bigger blood vessel and bled out. Needless to say, I’ve never done this again. The reasons behind me doing it were ignorance and cost of the surgical removal, I was young. While I wouldn’t advocate for a DIY, I would understand why some individuals would take this matter into their own hands.

While it's better to go to the doctor for this stuff, sometimes people don't have options. While lipomas do NOT have to be removed 99% of the time, people do have to take care of cysts and such frequently because the cost of medical care is through the roof. It's a sad fact.

[@prettyevil6662000]

Not to mention the amount of doctors that refuse to treat them or treat them incorrectly (leaving the sack so it just keeps refilling, thus requiring repeated treatments)

[@ThanksHermione]

They can be expensive to treat, but doing it themselves could cost them more in the long run. For example, they'd to go to the ER for losing massive amounts of blood. Other risks arise as well that could jeopardize their lives. If I had the choice between being in debt for medical treatment or dying accidentally by my own hand, I'd pick debt.

[@erniedogbennett2501]

In high school I had a zit grow under the skin on my forehead. It got so bad my friends were calling me Cyclops. One night I woke up with a splitting headache from the zit so I got a needle and went in front of a mirror and put the needle straight in as far as I could get it. When I pulled it out I just touched the skin around it and puss and blood went flying all over the mirror. The relief I experienced can't be put into words. I immediately went back to sleep and awoke feeling great. Sometimes you just have to do it yourself. Of course this was 1969 and our family didn't have much money yet. Mom was the official pimple popper in our family though. She wore my brother out. Lol

This! I had it for 5 years and just finally got rid of it 3 weeks ago. I was finally able to get an appointment and have it taken out. It was surprisingly simple to have done. Easy recovery. However, it ruined me in so many ways while on it. Both mentally and physically. I saw a dermatologist a week before I had it taken out and she agreed my new acne (clear skin up until last year, so 33 years no acne at all) was hormonal, and to get the implant out asap. I told her I had highly considered taking it out myself and she said she didn’t blame me. I too bled nonstop. The longest was 7-8 weeks I believe. I thought I was having a mental breakdown. You’re not alone!
