Dr. Pimple Popper Season 4, Episode 8: Burst to worst
Dr. Pimple Popper airs This is Zit, a rehash of a favorite episode. Some great additions this time around make a second viewing very worthwhile.
What’s better than seeing some of Dr. Pimple Popper‘s favorites? Adding in some bonus bursts to the mix! It’s like Powerball and a scratch-off on the same day! The bonuses are a little more clinical than the drama of the prime-time patients.
Taylore could keep her keloids.
Despite the fact things are wiggly when she walks, her ear keloids are something imperfect in her eyes. Otherwise, her looks are nearly flawless. She walks into the procedure in a “savage”-emblazoned t-shirt with a midriff-baring knot.
Although, her bad yellow/orange eye makeup is a poor choice for surgery because each single tear causes her to go into histrionics about her makeup and lash glue. When I went in for surgery I didn’t shave and wore sweat pants. No drama.
Dr. Lee greets with the patronizing, “What are you here for?” Although, I never considered it could have been tongue in cheek as “What are you hear for?” The keloid scar tissue is not hereditary, despite what Taylore’s father may believe.

Poor Jose
I forgot how bad his bump was. It looks huge. He says baseball, but it’s really more of a softball or a cantaloupe. When Dr. Lee messes with it, the thing moves around like a water balloon.
The most amazing part of the procedure is ensuring the stitching and scar doesn’t change his hairline. He’s terribly concerned with getting a post-surgery fade.
Ken is easily the worst
There are bumps all over his body. Back, chest, head. It started years ago with whiteheads and blackheads, but now they’re much bigger. Or at least that’s what the subtitles say.
He’s scared of needles, but he says he’s going to put his “big boy pants on” and take care of it. The positivity is great because the applesauce, peanut butter, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, pesto, and other disgustingness that comes out is difficult to stomach.
The problem Ken had/has is that he’s been squeezing for years without getting rid of the sacs. Rookie mistake. If he had seen previous episodes he would have saved himself a lot of time and pain.
Bonus burst 1!
Much like the online series, Dr. Pimple Popper shares some of her other favorites. One case is a cyst that is hiding on a swollen ear lobe. It’s a mini squeeze. Dr. Lee makes two small incisions with a scalpel, blood everywhere, an eventual gush of buttery grits, and I cringed more than that scene in Pet Sematary.
Bonus burst 2!
Mystery guy number two has a golf ball on the back of his neck. It’s a fairly difficult to remove cyst. Much like the guy with the ear issue, this one comes out like buttery grits. So much so, Dr. Lee mentions it! (Hold the butter; add sugar, please.) This is probably a favorite because of how difficult it is to remove, and how thick the skin is on the back of the neck.
