'Dr Pimple Popper': Eric has an 'on-and-off button' on his head that he wants to get rid of
Eric has a half-a-golf-ball-sized lump on his head and it is slowly affecting his life. Around eight to 10 years ago, Eric was working on a project with his friends when an excavator hit him on his head. He recalled that it knocked him off immediately but he noticed that there was a small lump that was formed after the incident.
As the years passed, Eric noticed that his lump was growing and it reached a point where it looks like a golf ball cut in half. However, Kirk was able to make the light of a situation with the help of his daughter, Evie. He revealed that he and his daughter invented a game in which they treated the lump like an on-and-off button.
Kirk explained that when his daughter pressed the lump the had to pretend like he was going in an off mode and wake up once she pressed it again. He added that no matter what he was doing, he had to turn off if she pressed the lump. However, Kirk was ready to get rid of the lump forever because many at times he is not able to participate in things like he would want to.
For instance, when he wanted to go snowboarding with his family he hesitated because he wasn't sure what would happen if he hit his head. Kirk decided to meet Dr Sandra Lee in a bid to help him. After looking at it, Dr Lee realized that it was a cyst and the only way to get rid of it was if she squeed it out.
Unfortunately, things got a little messy when the cyst fell on Dr Lee's hand but at the end of the session, she was happy with the result. Kirk was happy to finally say goodbye to say bye to the lump and he was happy that Dr Lee was able to retire the on-and-off switch.
'Dr Pimple Popper' airs on Thursdays at 9 pm ET on TLC.
