Dr. Pimple Popper on TLC

On Wednesday night's show, the dr saw three patients
1. A lady who had a 3 pound fat mass on the back of her neck. Dr. made a "large" incision
and pulled the whole thing out. I was surprised to see that done under a local.
2. A man who has cancer running through his family goes to the doctor to have
two masses removed from his forehead area. One is an old cyst; and I am not sure what the other questionable one was.
3. A girl has growth growing from where her ear piercings are. The doctor removes the growths.

I watched and enjoyed it, but then again, I'm used to her Youtube channel. She helps a lot of people, and I'm glad that TLC has paid for them to get help for their conditions (and even tested in some cases) that in most cases they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford.

That said, it's not a show for everyone.

Exactly, Critical. The mother of the young woman with the ear keloids was saying how her daughter had basically become a hermit b/c she was so self-conscious about it.  I didn't know what the issue was with this family. Was it because they did not have health insurance? I just cannot imagine living with a condition like that for 4 + years. It looked so painful. She had such difficulty sleeping.  I turned it off b/c the show was turning my stomach, but I do hope her keloids do not grow back.

I fell asleep last night; and I am rewatching it.

Yes. There is a young man with cystic type of acne all over his body (________systoma). The removal seems like a temporary fix. I wonder if medicine (antibiotics) would be helpful to stop that.

Ear tumor lady--the keloids shot out of both ends of the holes; and she said they they throb constantly

I wonder if the keloids will stay a way.

I watched the first ten minutes of this last night...and then I was done. That thing on the guy's knee filled up the whole tray with goo after she cut it open.

Ugh, no. Not my thing.

A lot of times, it is a show for your ears. I stopped watching about the same time last night; the same time I stopped watching
last week. Too much to absorb for the time of night.

July 18th, 2018 Dr. Sandra Lee (Pimple Popper) took care of 4 patients
1. Man with large knee cyst--He had the cyst since the age of 12. In recent years the cyst has grown tremendously, and is quite painful when he accidentally hits it on things. The doctor determined it was a regular cyst. It was a cottage cheese large gusher filling up an entire tray. The man came back a month later. He said that it was draining all kinds of blood and stuff for the first two weeks after removal. He is very happy now.
2. A woman with a skin disease that she has had since age 8. They showed the woman's step mom and father. The step mom was whincing out of non information. The father acknowledged that he knew how painful the disease had been throughout her life. Dr. Sandra Lee Pimple Popper said that there are connected channels between these skin lesions. Squishing one eruption pushes stuff back up to other cystic areas. Treatment involved steroid shots that would relieve pain. Dr. Pimple Popper gave the woman these shots and phone numbers of other patients with the same condition for emotional support. The lady said that the steroid shots reduced the pain a lot.
3. A woman with a neck lipoma with a name--a plastic surgeon had previously removed the lipoma but it came back. Dr. Pimple Popper pulled chunks of the fatty tumor out, but was unable to get to the whole tumor as it was wrapped into neck nerves and other things.  This lipoma definitely had a more rope-like element than the lipoma removed last week.
4. A lady with a large cyst in her eyelashes--Dr. Pimple Popper mentioned problems that could result if the cyst was removed incorrectly. She cut off the cyst; and the patient looked beautiful after the removal. Prior to the removal she was avoiding eye contact from embarrassment out of the way she looked.


4 patients an episode; Dr Pimple Popper is putting in the work. She impressively removes and stitches skin.


Next week: Dr. Pimple Popper explains the dangers of the "triangle of death"  (nose area between the eyes and upper lip area).

Last night Dr. Pimple Popper Sandra Lee saw 4 patients
1. A young thin woman with an orange sized cyst above her boob (a third boob). Dr. Lee was concerned about the patients reaction during extraction. She was afraid she would faint or want to quit. Patients was very satisfied with results.
2. A personal trainer with a dried up cyst bigger than an inch when extracted. He was so happy. He gained more clients afterwards.
3. A lady with fat accumulations on just one side of her body. Dr. Lee wanted to research why this was happening. She did not know; and had not seen such a thing. She vacuumed fat out of the big leg; encouraged her to watch her weight and exercise; and wanted to remain watching her.
4. A man with an orange sized cyst on his upper back.

Each episode, I am impressed by Dr. Sandra Lee's kindness and skill. Bravo!

That guy with the cyst between his eyes looked amazing after she finished with him. When she squeezed all the creamy goodness out I was in pimple popping heaven! LOL

I felt so badly for the lady with the fat on just one side of her body. Dr. Lee said that diet and exercise might help, but if the fat came back to that side of the body after lipo she might be stuck with that. I wonder what causes such a thing?

What I like about Dr Lee is her bedside manner. She always explains what she is doing to the patient as she is doing it, and that cuts down a lot on fear. She also makes sure that they are comfortable. It doesn't surprise me that people come from all over to be treated by her.

It was lymphodema like.....but really was fat. I think lymphodema is fluid.

She conferred with some other derms who had more experience with this sort of things and had the patient do a CT scan, and the final diagnosis was "Idiopathic" and a Latin term that basically translated to "fat of unknown origin." That's a term doctors come up with when they can't tell why something is happening, lol. Normally when the body over makes cells like this it's usually cancerous, but this was just fat.

Last night didn't have any fun pops, only sadness.

The lady and her brother with all the growths all over their bodies really made me sad. I was glad Dr. Lee was able to do something for her face, no matter how small. The man with the bump on his shoulder ws a trouper, especially when Dr. Lee thought that the bump was a limpoma and it turned out to be a cyst which gushed out like raw egg when she cut into it. I like my oozes to be like toothpaste, not...whatever that was. Gross. Anyway, she got the whole sac out so it won't grow back again.

The third guy was a father who saw the Dr. with his two daughters. He had a growth on the back of his neck. His daughters were obviously fans of Dr Lee's Youtube page because not only did they watch the entire extraction, they picked up the removed tissue and took pictures with it, lol.

Next week looks interesting.
