Meet Dr. Pimple Popper

Jose from California had a humongous baseball-size lump protruding from his head. The father-of-one made a recent appearance on TLC’s “Dr. Pimple Popper.” Dr. Lee took one look at him and immediately knew he needed help. It proved to be one of Dr.

Pimple Popper’s most stomach-turning cases as she struggled to remove the growth on his scalp.

Lipoma

After running a CT scan, Dr. Lee confirmed the lump was a lipoma, a non-cancerous lump produced by overgrowing fat cells. A lipoma is a genetic condition caused by a faulty gene. These dome-shaped lumps from under the skin are usually soft, but Dr. Lee was worried. She said, “

there’s a hardness underneath which I don’t love.”

Tough Process

The lipoma was in a sensitive area. Dr. Lee had to be careful not to sever the temporal nerve which would have affected Jose’s ability to move up and down. But this lipoma was stuck to his scalp, so she had to extract it in pieces.
