'Dr Pimple Popper': Lisa hopes to remove a horn from her head but Dr Lee fears it might be cancerous
Lisa has been struggling with confidence ever since the cyst on her head turned into a horn. Opening up about the condition, Lisa revealed that she had tried her best to hide it and did not want people to look at it. After having it over a year, she decided to meet Dr Sandra Lee.
Dr Lee is known to work her magic on all sorts of bumps, boils, lumps, cysts and protrusions and Lisa hoped that she wouldn't have to worry about anything after meeting her. However, one fear that kept coming back was the thought that she might have skin cancer. Lisa told Dr Lee that her family has a history of having cysts on the head.
Diving more into it, Lisa revealed that she had a habit of bursting the cysts and one of them she squeezed to the extent that it started taking the form of a horn. Hearing about it Dr Lee was curious to see how it looked. Once she laid her eyes on the horn, she thought it looked more like a "fingernail that's gone crazy". She realized that the area around the horn was sore. After examining it for a while, Dr Lee concluded that it was a Cutaneous horn. A condition in which growth tends to appear on top of the skin. While Dr Lee had seen these types of growth, she admitted that this one was the biggest she had seen so far. She could also see how the growth was pulling her skin and this made her worry that it might be cancerous in nature.
Upon hearing this, Lisa felt emotional as she feared leaving her daughter alone. However, Dr Lee assured her that everything was fine. Dr Lee decided to remove the growth and the sack while also taking a portion of it to run some tests. She warned Lisa that the surgery would be stopped the second she felt something was wrong.
Lisa agreed and Dr Lee prepared her for the surgery. Surprisingly, it did not take her long enough to get the growth out. With one twist the growth was removed and Dr Lee made sure that she stitched the wound so it could heal. After completion, Lisa looked at how her head looked and was shocked to see that her head looked normal. She regretted not coming earlier but promised to be confident moving forward.
A new season of 'Dr Pimple Popper' airs on September 3 at 10 pm ET on TLC.
