Debra, a 58-year-old woman with seborrheic keratosis, will be featured in a recent episode of 'Dr Pimple Popper'. In older individuals, seborrhoeic keratosis is one of the most prevalent non-cancerous skin growths. While it's conceivable for one to sprout on its own, it's more frequent for numerous growths to occur. Seborrheic keratosis is a skin condition that affects the face, chest, shoulders, and back. It seems waxy, scaly, and somewhat raised. There is no need for therapy. A doctor can remove the seborrhoeic keratosis if it causes irritation.

Debra says that it began as a pea-sized blemish and has now developed into a large lump on the side of their head. Debra is a working woman and she always feels anxious about it while she is at work. And she fears that this will ruin her career. Debra also tells us about her dating life; she has been unmarried for almost two decades and now wants to date, but she is concerned about seborrhoeic keratosis.
As Debra approached Dr Lee for help and support, they met and discussed her condition, and Dr Lee informed Debra of a few options for treating seborrhoeic keratosis. Dr Lee also mentioned that even after removal, there is a chance that Debra's hair will not grow back, especially in that area, but all Debra wanted was to be rid of it.
Finally, Dr Lee began the procedure by numbing the affected region, then using a tool, she began to remove it slowly, and then using a curette, she scraped it away, and it was gone. Debra might require some touch-ups in the future, according to Dr Lee. However, in the end, it's all worth it
At the end of the episode, 10-week post-Debra's surgery, Debra feels more at ease knowing the fact it's not there and her hair started to grow back and she finally says that she is open to dating again.
