UPLAND, CALIFORNIA: 'Dr Pimple Popper' Season 9 returned with an exciting episode filled with satisfying pops and squeezes. The latest episode brought an array of bumps, lumps, and cysts and the treatment proved to be a life-changing experience for the patients.
In the latest episode titled 'Veiny Balloons', dermatologist Dr Sandra Lee meets a new patient, Robert, who has been struggling with a huge head lump for the last few years. Robert wants to get his lump removed so that he can take care of his family of three.
Who is Robert?
Robert is a new patient who appears in the new episode of 'Dr Pimple Popper' Season 9. Robert shares a beautiful daughter, Neveah, with his wife Miranda. In the latest preview, Robert recalled the moment when he first met his wife. He revealed, "When I first met her I was lost. If I don't meet her I don't think I would be where I am today." However, Robert also shared his insecurities, noting, "My worry is one day she's gonna figure out that I'm not good enough for her. She's gonna find somebody else a lot handsome and better with no lump on their head." Robert has been insecure even while walking outside. He noted, "When you're walking in public and you got something like this on your head, there isn't one person that's not looking at you. Everybody sees you and everybody's staring." He further added, "People look at me like a freak. They don't see a regular man trying to make it. They see a monster. They see something ugly, somebody that's deformed. They don't see anything but that." Robert was robbed and got hit over the head with a 2-by-4 around 14 years ago. Later on, he developed a pinched nerve.
Robert does a lot of landscaping, carpentry, and modeling. When he put his hard hat on, nobody really noticed his head lump until about four years ago, when it started growing. The hard hat wouldn't stay tight enough on his head, which often created problems as he worked onsite. Robert hasn't had a steady job for about four years because of his lump. He can't even count how many "jobs I've been turned down for because of this lump." Robert shared, "Not being able to have a job is just mainly a lot of depression."
What happened to Robert on 'Dr Pimple Popper'?
Robert visited Dr Lee's clinic to seek help from the dermatologist. He revealed to the camera that his lump was the size of a Beebee, and then he visited a doctor to find out what was going on with it. The doctors told him that it was lipoma cancer. However, they also informed him he could take care of it now or after two years as it will not kill him. But clearly, the lump was affecting his everyday life and he eventually decided to consult Dr Lee. The dermatologist has been an expert in treating lipoma and Robert's lump was not a big deal for her.
Where is Robert from 'Dr Pimple Popper' now?
Robert's huge head lump caused recurrent migraines and a lot of pressure on his head, besides excruciating pain to the point he even started crying. Robert was afraid that his head lump will get bigger and he will have a brain aneurysm. However, Dr Lee treated his lump and he could finally live pain-free. Robert's lump removal boosted his confidence and changed how he interacts with people in a positive way. Now, he doesn't have to worry about his family and can happily start working all over again.
