Dr Pimple Popper patient Joe lost his wife Becky
Latest patient into Dr Pimple Popper’s office Joe has a number of large bumps on his head, which Dr Sandra Lee tells us are pilar cysts.
She explains that when they get this large, it means they’ve been around for a while. Many of the TLC patients have a fear of the doctors, and leave their cysts untreated for years.
Joe tells the camera that Becky wanted him to have these bumps removed more than anything, which may be a huge reason why he’s taking a trip to see the TLC doctor.
However, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be an easy surgery as we hear Sandra say at the end of the clip: “This is proving to be proving to be a little bit more of a problem,” about his largest ones.
