As a medical reality TV show, Dr. Pimple Popper is undeniably unique. Dr. Sandra Lee is more than just a dermatologist, though – she's a star in her own right. Dr. Pimple Popper takes viewers into her examination room to see her tackle all kinds of skin conditions, from grueling cysts to mysteriously disappearing moles. In season 5, episode 5 of Dr. Pimple Popper, an episode titled "Cyster, Cyster," Dr. Lee faces one of her most difficult cases yet.

The episode begins with Dr. Lee explaining that she has a patient named Molly who has been coming to see her for years. Molly suffers from a genetic condition that causes her to develop cysts all over her body. These cysts pop up everywhere from her head to her toes, and they can be incredibly painful. Dr. Lee takes viewers through her diagnostic process, using tools like a dermatoscope to inspect the cysts more closely.

One of the first cysts that Dr. Lee examines in "Cyster, Cyster" is located on Molly's forehead. Dr. Lee carefully shaves away the top layer of skin, revealing a large, bulging cyst underneath. As Dr. Lee presses down on the cyst, a thick, white substance oozes out, causing Molly to wince in pain. But after several moments of pressure, Dr. Lee is able to successfully drain the cyst, revealing a hollow pocket underneath.

In another part of Molly's body, Dr. Lee discovers a particularly stubborn cyst. This cyst is deeply embedded in Molly's skin, making it difficult to remove without causing significant scarring. Dr. Lee consults with her team of medical professionals to come up with a plan. In the end, Dr. Lee decides to make a small incision in Molly's skin to better access the cyst. As she squeezes the cyst, a thick, slimy liquid oozes out, much to everyone's surprise.

Throughout "Cyster, Cyster," Dr. Lee balances her desire to help Molly with her respect for Molly's pain. She explains that while cyst removals might look easy on TV, the reality can be much more difficult. Cysts can be deeply embedded in a patient's skin, making them almost impossible to remove without some degree of pain. But Dr. Lee is always there to support her patients, offering words of encouragement and a gentle touch when necessary.

As the episode progresses, Dr. Lee faces more and more challenging cysts. At one point, she discovers a cyst on Molly's neckline that has grown so large it looks like it could burst at any moment. Using her trusty scalpel, Dr. Lee carefully drains the cyst, allowing Molly to experience some much-needed relief.

Throughout "Cyster, Cyster," Dr. Lee's bedside manner is on full display. She takes the time to explain everything she's doing to Molly, offering her professional opinion while still respecting Molly's autonomy. At one point, Dr. Lee even jokes with Molly about the "world's largest zit" as she begins working on a particularly large cyst. By the end of the episode, Molly is able to leave the office feeling like a new person, with much less pain and discomfort.

As with every episode of Dr. Pimple Popper, "Cyster, Cyster" is filled with moments of shock and amazement. Viewers will be wowed by the size and scope of the cysts that Dr. Lee removes, but they'll be equally impressed by Dr. Lee's compassion and empathy. Ultimately, though, "Cyster, Cyster" is a show about healing. By the end of the episode, viewers will feel like they've witnessed something truly miraculous – the power of medicine to transform lives for the better.
