A MUM who was told her 50 cysts could never be treated, has had them removed by Dr Pimple Popper.
In scenes that left viewers squeamish, 51-year-old Juliet had the oil-producing cysts – that ranged from the size of a pea to a golf ball – removed.
Explaining the cysts had been crushing her self confidence for decades, Juliet said she “didn’t even like to look in the mirror”.
“I was probably in my early twenties when I first started noticing them,” she said.
“I was referred to a dermatologist who told me there was nothing I could do about it and I would just have to live with it.
“I don’t even like to look in the mirror, all I see is these bumps and that’s it, I just don’t feel pretty.
“I’d like to go out, I’m a single mum and I just don’t put myself out there for anybody because I don’t want them to see this.
“An ex used to say you’re lucky I’m with you, nobody else would want to be with you.”
But thanks to Dr Lee, Juliet was able to get her confidence back, with the pimple popping guru explaining her cysts were steatocystomas.
“What I think you have is something called steatocystomas, which are true oil producing cysts and also the ones that you have that are harder and more of a blue colour, those are probably eruptive vellus hair cysts,” said Dr Lee.
During the extraction, Juliet had all 50 of the cysts removed, with Dr Lee explaining she had to be extra cautious when popping around Juliet’s veins.
“I feel amazing, it’s like a switch just flipped for me,” Juliet said, after the procedure was complete.
“Dr Lee changed 25 years of my life like that and just made everything so much better. I’m back.”
And while hundreds of viewers were impressed with Dr Lee’s work, with one describing the skin guru as “an amazing doctor [and a] warm and caring light” others were utterly disgusted.
One wrote: “I nearly threw up watching Dr Pimple Popper today but that show is interesting.”
While another said: “I hate Dr Pimple Popper but I can’t change the channel.”
