A guy with a mushy, hard bulge on the back of his head is seeking medical attention after it been doubling in size every few years over the past decade.
The patient is on her way to Dr Pimple Popper, who has seen a woman who went to a magician for assistance with a ‘third breast’ sprouting on her shoulder and even a lady with maggots in her toes this season.
Dr Sandra Lee, a cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist, serves patients all over America, including a guy with 400 tumours all over his body and a grandfather who lives confined ‘like a hermit’ in his house because he’s too ’embarrassed’ by his plum-sized nose.
But her next patient has already seen plenty of medical professionals, and after getting referred numerous times, ‘let it go’.
He’s now seeking help from Dr Lee, as the bump continues to grow.
‘I’ve got a pretty big bump on the back of my head,’ he begins, before prodding it.
‘It is extremely noticeable, it’s round and it’s squishy and it feels like it might be attached somewhere.’
He elsewhere explains: ‘About ten years ago, is when I first noticed I had this little bump on the back of my head.
‘It felt like an ingrown hair and I went to urgent care, and then they referred me to go to my primary care physician and then he referred me to a dermatologist and then they referred me to a general surgeon.
‘At that point, I kind of just let it go and over the last ten years, every couple of years it doubles in size.’
‘Hmmm… get that beast out!!’ one person wrote.
Another penned: ‘I’m gonna predict and say that it’s a lipoma but I think it’s a cyst and it’s going to look like wet newspaper when it pops. Dark grey because of hair follicles idk I’m guessing!’
This comes after a guy sought treatment for cysts ranging in size from a pea to an orange on the back of his head.
In a previous clip, he said: ‘I think I’ve got seven or eight, the size of a pea to the size of an orange.’
He went on to explain: ‘When I was 14 years old, I noticed two small bumps on the side of my forehead, maybe the size of a quarter.
‘I had those removed when I was about 18 years old, but I noticed more started to grow and they got bigger and bigger in my 20s and into my 30s.
‘In the last three to four years, they’ve almost doubled in size.’
After experiencing hair loss, the anonymous patient became more concerned about the cysts.
He said: ‘Before I started losing hair up top, the hair covered them, but when I started losing hair, they became more and more obvious.
‘I guess I put off having them fixed because I worried that maybe they’d gotten big enough that there would be complications from the surgery and I didn’t want to have to worry about that.’
He added: ‘It’s kind of like living life with an evil twin on your head or something.’
This comes after he spoke out about having surgery only weeks after the loss of his wife Becky, emotionally telling viewers: ‘Becky wanted more than anything for me to get these bumps taken care of.
‘Unfortunately, she passed away two weeks ago.’
Dr Pimple Popper airs on TLC in America.
