Dr Lee pays tribute to the young mom

Brittney was also honored by Dr Sandra Lee, nicknamed Dr Pimple Popper, on the episode of her program. Brittney featured in 'Dr Pimple Popper's Season Two episode, complaining about the strange bumps that had developed all over her body after giving birth to her daughter.

Brittney explained to Dr Lee that she had been suffering from the bumps for about 11 years and that her mother had also suffered from the same condition. Brittney also stated that she had eventually chosen to seek professional assistance to remove the bumps because her wedding day was approaching and she wanted to see if the bumps could be removed before walking down the aisle.

Dr Lee observed that the lumps were "a little rubbery. They’re flexible and spongy. You can feel when you push them into the skin and they bounce back out." Dr Lee was able to help Brittney remove the bumps by the conclusion of the episode, and she stated that she felt more secure and prepared for her wedding.

Season 9 of 'Dr Pimple Popper' will premiere on April 5 at 9 PM ET on TLC.
