A woman burst a huge cyst in a disgusting video shared online.
In the footage she can be seen squeezing a thick stream of puss out of the spot.
The growth under her armpit explodes after she pinches it while holding a tissue.
The clip was uploaded to the Pimple Popping Videos Instagram page.
Some compared the spot to a cow's udder, while others demanded to see a longer version of the video.
Queenbeee666 said 'where’s the rest of this vid', while Mikedillon64 added 'there needs to be a part two to this one!'

Others reiterated that the woman needed to see a doctor.
Blackheads, cysts, boils and zits aren’t the first things that come to mind when thinking about what’s popular on YouTube .
But there is an entire sub-genre dedicated to the science of skin extractions – and they aren’t being made by professional vloggers.
Dr Sandra Lee, known as 'Dr Pimple Popper', is an American dermatologist working in California.
She started uploading videos of her practise on YouTube in 2010 but began amassing a large following after posting her first skin extraction video in 2014.
With her patients’ written permission she continued to post videos of her treatment and she now posts several videos on her channel a week.
Her regular videos became so well known that she was even offered her own reality TV show on TLC in 2018 which followed her patient’s lives before and after treatment.
Many of the participants on the show have severe skin conditions and the results are often life changing experiences for them.
Dr Abigail Cline explained why some people receive satisfaction from watching other people self-extract.
“Others might enjoy the grotesque aspect of extractions and feel a bit of bizarre fascination when they see the outburst of pus.”
In an interview with the Washington Post , Heather Berlin, a neuroscientist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York said, "evolutionarily speaking, it's normal behaviour to want to remove bumps from your skin.”
