Dr. Pimple Popper Season 4, Episode 5: Burst to worst

facebooktwitterreddit

Dr. Pimple Popper excises a deal-breaker jaw-breaker, serves up some mashed potatoes, and plays marbles with her other patients.

The cool thing about Dr. Pimple Popper is, not only the disgusting aspect, but it’s also the effort she takes to make the patients feel and look better. She makes experience-based decisions that result in people not only getting huge bumps removed, but also more pleasing aesthetically.

Take Dramamine before watching this episode.

4. Hey Marie, heads up!

Marie has a forehead bump, and the entire feel is blasé because of how minimal it is. To be quite honest, her chest tattoo is more noticeable. She has turned into a hermit, however, so it’s time to remove the marble beneath her skin. At least then she can wear a motorcycle helmet and ride, which is all she talks about.

It’s a lipoma, and the show doesn’t even subtitle it anymore. Ho-hum. I feel like I could do the procedure at this point.

3. Tommy’s Leg

Despite his extra-slim, 28-inch waist jeans, Tommy says he hurt his leg doing squats. Then the bump appeared, and has gotten larger over time.

When he goes to Dr. Lee, she says it’s nevus lipomatosus superficialis expialidocious, but since he doesn’t wear underwear it’s understandable that she was nervuos lipomatosus expialidocious and misdiagnosed. Turns out it’s a garden variety lipoma. A good squeeze later and the raw chicken fat squelches out of the skin, leaving a frowning incision to match the faces of all viewers.

2. Kevin’s protruding jaw

First of all, it looks like Kevin has a huge wad of chaw in his mouth at all times. Maybe a jawbreaker that won’t go away. According to him, as well as his friends, the massive bump is a lady deterrent. Kevin is a roughly 5’10”, 160-lb., 30-year old with wispy-Joe-Dirt-facial-hair, a pony tail and nervous mannerisms.

Despite a slight rocker vibe, his pre-surgery nervousness is reminiscent of this guy…

Kevin’s cyst excretes buttery mashed potatoes, and I make a sprint to the bathroom.

1. Tony’s noses-es

From Clinton, TN, Tony has multiple nodules on his nose. It’s simultaneously disgusting and heart-wrenching. He took some medicine at one time, and the back-half of every experimental medicine commercial came true. Now he has difficulty breathing because the grapes on either side of his strawberry noes are obstructing the air way. It’s terribly depressing.

Before Dr. Lee even shows up, all the pop-aholics already know it’s rhinophyma. It’s going to require that burning hook thingy, and her office is going to smell like rotting flesh. Thankfully, Tony is a spiritual man and prays with Dr. Pimple Popper.

The procedure is vomit-inducing. She carves, burns, gets frustrated, and breaks out the scalpel like the little kid from Pet Sematary. Then she goes back to burning oily patches off the top of the strawberry, and I have to hold back dinner from volcanic eruption.
