DR. PIMPLE POPPER: Premieres on Wednesday, April 5 at 9pm ET/PT

In another case, she treats a man whose back and face are covered in hundreds of lipoma tumors. This season pulls back the curtain a little more on Dr. Lee’s personal and professional life as we get to know the woman behind the scalpel. Dr. Lee’s work is more than skin deep – she jumps at every challenge with a smile and a love for her patients and their skin.  For those who have lost all hope for any chance at a normal life — Dr. Pimple Popper is here.
