Nicole has always been conscious about the way her neck looks and tried her best to stay positive as she scheduled a visit with Dr. Sandra Lee. Nicole has innumerable cysts under her skin, near her neck area and she tries her best to hide them. Confessing to the camera, Nicole mentioned that she is always scared about what people might think if they lay eyes on her neck. 

To make sure that the attention is not drawn towards how her neck looks, Nicole tried to wear clothes that hide her neck while also making use of wigs that are long enough to cover her neck. However, it is not something that she wants to keep on doing. Nicole does not like wearing the wigs but felt helpless if she doesn't do it. 

Having these cysts on her neck has also hindered Nicole's social life. Nicole admitted that she does not go out much and neither does she feel happy because she is constantly thinking about how her neck looks. However, one of the motivations to stay strong has been her daughter. 

Nicole admitted that she tries to put a brave face for the sake of her daughter, but sometimes it gets hard because she is breaking from the inside.  In the past, Nicole has met many doctors who have advised her to change her diet or told her that there is nothing much they could do about it. 

While she has got a no from many doctors, Nicole had hoped that Dr. Lee could help her. Upon meeting Nicole, Dr. Lee was quick to conclude that the bumps on the neck are Steatocystoma, cysts that grow under the skin. Dr. Lee was worried about how many she could take because she knew there was a possibility that she would get tired while adding that there is only a limit to the numbing cream she could use on a patient. 

Luckily for her, Nicole was a strong patient who wanted to get things done quickly and due to this, she decided to stay strong. Dr. Lee managed to help Nicole by taking out all the cysts and ultimately left Nicole happy with the results. 

'Dr. Pimple Popper' airs on Thursdays at 9 pm ET on TLC.
