TLC's 'Dr Pimple Popper' features those patients who have been suffering from bad skin conditions and have also lost all hope of getting their beautiful skin and body back. Dr Sandra Lee, aka Dr Lee, helps these patients out by treating their skin conditions. 

Armed with her scalper and tweezers, Dr Sandra Lee in 'Dr Pimple Popper' Season 7 Episode 2, handles three cases with different skin conditions. Among these three patients, Ruben Sandoval, a 50-year-old personal trainer, has an unwanted bump at the back of his head. A personal gym trainer must have a perfect body and skin that gives you more confidence to deal with your clients. But Ruben could not deal with his clients because of the protrusion on his head chipping away at his confidence. Ruben could not get out of his house and meet new clients. Moreover, he was taking virtual classes to train his clients but according to Ruben, giving physical body training online isn't an excellent idea.

Apart from his professional life, the bump created many problems in his personal life as well. Ruben could not spend time with his daughter either. He could not hang out with her and go on dinner dates because of the ugly growth on his head. Ruben discovered the bump in 2005 and thought it to be a mosquito bite, but it became more significant day by day. 

Dr Lee began the procedure for surgery by cutting the mass and splitting it into two halves. Dr Lee even asked Ruben's daughter to stand and watch her father's surgery. The soft tissue at Ruben's head was a little squeezy, but Dr Lee was quite confident that she could take this bump out easily and give Ruben his confidence back. Dr Lee said, "I had never had a lipoma pop out whole on a scalp before though this was easy to take out." Throughout the surgery, Ruben's daughter acted like a superhero as she was very confident and wasn't hesitant to witness his father's surgery.
