    Insider producer Celia Skvaril video chatted with Dr. Sanda Lee, aka Dr. Pimple Popper, to get her professional advice on how to pop a pimple at home. While Lee doesn’t recommend that people pop their own pimples, pimple popping is a habit that many struggle to quit. With much of the world staying at home, people aren’t seeing their dermatologists and estheticians regularly and may be fighting a higher-than-usual urge to pick at their skin. Lee offered her tips on how to best minimize the risk of scarring and further infection when popping your own pimples, like attempting to pop only superficial whiteheads and properly sterilizing the pimple and tools both before and after popping. Following Lee’s tips, Celia attempted to pop her own whitehead at home. For more from Dr. Pimple Popper, visit: https://slmdskincare.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drpimplepopper/

Sara Pascucci received one.

She said she hasn’t been able to bear the thought of taking down her Christmas decorations because her recently deceased father put them up, and he loved Christmas.

Sixty-one-year-old Anthony Pascucci died January 15 from the coronavirus. His sister and Sara Pascucci’s aunt, 70-year-old Connie Pascucci, died a week before him, also from COVID.

“It’s not something you want to receive after everything that we’ve been through,” Pascucci said.

She said she has a message for the author.

“I would just like them to remember to be kind, especially during a pandemic,” she said. “You don’t really know what anyone’s really going through.”

Lori Kelly also received a letter and said her husband has been unable to take down the lights because he hurt his back.

“I don’t know why someone would take the time to write letters,” she said.

John Fazio got a letter too.

“I guess some just people have extra time to be mean or, you know, they have nothing else better to do then attack people,” he said.

Fazio said by the time someone in his house informed him of the letter, he had already taken the decorations down.

Pascucci posted about the letter on Facebook and has been receiving many words of encouragement from the greater Long Island community.
