Fair warning: if you’ve just eaten, you might want to avoid this video.

In this stomach-churning footage, the aptly named Joe Gross removes “the longest ingrown hair in history”.

Gross uploaded the footage to YouTube in 2012, but it has gone viral in recent days after being reposted on Reddit. It has since attracted more than 11 million views.

Gross explained: “I had this pimple that would ooze every couple of months for the last year or so. The dermatologist told me it was a cyst she would have to cut out. Apparently it was just the longest ingrown hair in history.”
