This gruesome video shows a man with a blister so enormous it covers his entire palm.
The sufferer, who is unidentified, filmed himself having the blister popped and cleaned by a doctor, before uploading the horrific clip to YouTube.
The film shows the doctor squeezing the huge bubble of yellow skin, triggering a jet of fluid to spray out.
'I couldn't resist,' she says, as she continues to pat the blister.
More and more liquid spatters over the white sheets.
‘That definitely doesn’t feel good,' the man says, before telling the doctor he works at a car wash.
'You cannot wash cars,' she cautions, due to the nature of his injury. 'You can do cashier work.'
The patient uploaded the video to YouTube under the username The Most ProNoob, where he explains the blister formed after he suffered second degree burns to his left palm.
He went to the emergency room of the hospital on March 7 last year, when doctors cleaned and wrapped it.
Then, when he returned to see medics on March 10, he filmed what happened in order to post the clip of his giant blister online.
After popping the blister, the doctor cuts away the dead skin using scissors.
This reveals red raw skin underneath, with a pool of yellow and slimy sludge on one side.
‘That slimy stuff on there is protein,' she explains.

In the video's description, the man says the doctor put some medical foam on to the blister, wrapped it with gauze, and told him to come back next week.
Second degree burns are serious as the damage penetrates beyond the first layer of skin.
This causes the skin to blister, thicken and become red and sore.
Often blisters pop open, making the burn look wet.
Second degree burns usually take up to three weeks to heal, although some can take longer.
The wounds will need to be cleaned and bandaged regularly to prevent infection.
In severe cases, a skin graft - in which a piece of healthy skin is transplanted to the site of the burn - is needed to fix the damage.
Anyone who suffers a burn on the face, hands, buttocks, groin or feet should see a doctor immediately.
