Ep 4. Adventures in Pimplepopping

As a dermatologist, Dr. Sandra Lee is no stranger to the gross and bizarre skin conditions that people suffer from. However, in Dr. Pimple Popper season 4 episode 4, titled Adventures in Pimplepopping, Dr. Lee faces some of her most challenging and extreme cases yet.

The episode kicks off with a patient, Kendra, who has been battling a mysterious skin condition for years. Kendra's skin is covered in small bumps that resemble blackheads, but they are far more stubborn and difficult to remove. Dr. Lee gets to work using her trusty tools, but the procedure proves more difficult than anticipated. As she tries to remove the bumps, Kendra's skin begins to bleed, and Dr. Lee is forced to stop the procedure to prevent further damage.

The next patient, Cassidy, has a condition known as pilomatricoma, which causes small, rock-hard cysts to grow under the skin. Cassidy is particularly self-conscious about the cysts on her forehead, which have been growing for over a year. Dr. Lee has to be very careful when removing the cysts on Cassidy's forehead, as they are close to important nerves and blood vessels.

In the third case of the episode, Dr. Lee meets Savannah, a young woman with a particularly distressing condition called steatocystoma multiplex. This condition causes small, benign growths to form all over the body, particularly in areas with more oil glands, such as the chest and back. Savannah has many of these growths on her back, and they are causing her significant discomfort. Dr. Lee removes as many as she can over the course of the procedure, but there are many more that will need to be treated at a later time.

The fourth and final case of the episode introduces viewers to Abby, a woman with a phobia of needles and an extreme fear of medical procedures. Abby has a large cyst on her neck that needs to be removed, but she is so terrified of the procedure that she has put it off for years. Dr. Lee tries to ease Abby's fears by explaining everything that is happening during the procedure and distracting her with conversation.

Overall, Dr. Pimple Popper season 4 episode 4 is a fascinating and insightful look into the world of dermatology and the many conditions that can afflict the skin. Dr. Lee's compassion and expertise are on full display throughout the episode as she treats her patients with kindness and professionalism, even in the face of extremely challenging cases. Viewers will be both fascinated and grossed out by the many skin conditions on display in Adventures in Pimplepopping, but they will also come away with a greater understanding of the importance of good dermatological care.
