'Dr Pimple Popper': Jimmy seeks Dr Sandra Lee's help to put an end to his 'itchy hell'
UPLAND, CALIFORNIA: Jimmy sought out Dr Sandra Lee's clinic to get rid of the itchy, dry skin he was struggling with. TLC fans met Jimmy on the April 3 episode of 'Dr Pimple Popper,' who was struggling with skin problems that made his life unbearable.
A woman named Remi told Dr Lee in 2021 that she had seen several doctors for her illness. She further claimed that although various lotions made her skin appear better, the itching and dryness returned. The patient underwent several treatments after her mother encouraged her to address her skin problem. Remi has darker patches on her arms and mouth affected by the skin condition, an examination revealed. Remi reported that a man once told her she had dirt around her mouth, which he mistook for dryness. Remi's skin problem was treated by Dr Lee, who noted that the diagnosis was " close to home" because she was still grieving for her mother. She was diagnosed with eczema, which causes itchy, dry, cracked, and sensitive skin in some areas.
