Despite having a ‘hard bulbous growth’ above his eye for more than ten years, a man has admitted he is wary of medical procedures and getting it checked by a doctor.
What began as a little pimple or spider bite has grown into a huge ball of what feels like hard cartilage over his eye.
After receiving worry from family and friends, he is now seeking assistance from Dr. Pimple Popper.
The TLC reality show follows people from all across America who come to dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon Dr Sandra Lee for assistance with their’spots,’ whether it’s masses developing on their body or squeezing blackheads.
There’s nothing Dr Lee hasn’t seen, from a ‘third breast’ beneath an armpit to a guy with 400 tumours all over his body, but in a trailer for a forthcoming episode, a new patient admits to being nervous before visiting the specialist.
‘I’ve got this bulbous growth on my eye,’ he begins.
Despite the fact that the growth is leaning over his eye and extending from his forehead, he claims he ‘doesn’t see it’ until he looks in the mirror.
He then prods it with his fingers, describing that it feels’really hard’ like ‘nose cartilage’ in stomach-churning moments.
‘I can move it around and it doesn’t hurt at all, there’s no pain,’ he says.
The Dr Pimple Popper celebrity goes on to say that the lump originally surfaced ten years ago.
He says: ‘I noticed this little bump like a spider bite below my eyebrow.
‘It was like a zit without a head or something like that, and over the next few years it started growing little by little.
‘But still, since it didn’t bother me, I didn’t want to go to the doctor. I basically just hoped it would go away.’
A decade later, and it hadn’t.
He continues: ‘I didn’t go to the doctor growing up, I never had a family doctor or anything like that, and I didn’t get sick a lot, and now as an adult, I’m definitely squeamish about a knife cutting me open.
‘I’m not a big proponent of any medical procedures.’
Dr Pimple Popper airs on TLC in America.
