Ep 6. Pop Nose the Weasel

Pop Nose the Weasel is the sixth episode in the third season of Save My Skin. In this episode, we meet a 32-year-old woman named Simone who suffers from an extremely rare condition known as rhinophyma, which causes her nose to grow and change shape. Simone has been living with this condition for years, which has caused her significant emotional distress and impacted her daily life.

Simone has tried everything to get her condition under control, including topical treatments, antibiotics, and even laser therapy. However, nothing has worked and her nose continues to grow and become more pronounced. Simone's condition has caused her to become extremely self-conscious, and she avoids going out in public because she feels ashamed of her appearance.

Dr. Emma Craythorne takes on Simone's case and begins by conducting a thorough examination of her skin. Dr. Craythorne explains that rhinophyma is a type of rosacea, which causes the blood vessels in the nose to dilate and create a bumpy, swollen appearance. Dr. Craythorne also notes that Simone's condition is quite severe, which means that surgery may be required to correct the issue.

Simone is nervous about undergoing surgery, but Dr. Craythorne reassures her that the procedure is safe and effective. She explains that the surgery involves removing the excess tissue on Simone's nose and reshaping the skin to create a more natural, even appearance. Dr. Craythorne also notes that the recovery time for this surgery is relatively short, and that Simone could see significant improvement in her appearance within just a few weeks.

Simone agrees to undergo the surgery and is admitted to the hospital for the procedure. Dr. Craythorne and her team work carefully to remove the excess tissue on Simone's nose and reshape the skin. The surgery is a success, and Simone is thrilled with the results. She is finally able to look in the mirror and feel proud of her appearance.

However, the journey is not over yet for Simone. Dr. Craythorne warns her that she will need to take extra care of her skin in the coming weeks and months to ensure that her condition does not return. Simone is diligent about following the doctor's orders, and she continues to see improvement in her appearance with each passing day.

In the end, Simone is grateful to Dr. Craythorne and her team for helping her feel confident and beautiful again. She is able to go out in public without feeling self-conscious, and she is excited to start living life on her own terms. Save My Skin season 3 episode 6 is a heartwarming tale of perseverance and the power of modern medicine to help people overcome even the most challenging skin conditions.
