Dr. Sandra Lee

Lumps, bumps, cysts and other skin conditions on your face and body can be embarrassing and stressful. Have no fear! Dermatologist and YouTube sensation Dr. Sandra Lee is the one to go to to take your troubles away! 
Her oozingly addictive series, Dr. Pimple Popper, which premieres Wednesday July 11th on TLC at 10pm takes you inside the world of her Dermatology practice and introduces you to patients whose lives are devastated by eye-catching skin conditions.

The series will include six, one-hour episodes as viewers follow Dr. Lee as she treats various eye-catching dermatological problems in hopes of allowing her patients to reclaim their lives, free of disguise and embarrassment. Some of the cases featured this season include a mobility-inducing elephant-like skin condition, a discouraging lump and, protruding veins, tumors and cysts that hinder their daily lives and confidence. Follow Dr. Lee as she helps transform the lives of her patients.

Dr. Sandra Lee, aka Dr. Pimple Popper, is a board-certified dermatologist based in Southern California. Realizing that her field of medicine is very visual, she felt that it would be interesting to show people what she sees on a daily basis — during consults, surgeries and in-office procedures. And though she had a hunch that people would find it interesting, she soon discovered there was a massive subculture online of people who watched “popping” videos and shared them with each other across the internet. She has 2.7 million followers on Instagram, Facebook posts reaching upwards of 5-6 Million users, 400-500K views per Snapchat story and nearly 4 Million subscribers on YouTube where the Dr. Pimple Popper videos have been watched 2.5 BILLION times.

I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Sandra Lee via satellite form Los Angeles about her new series and how she got her nickname that now follows her where ever she goes.
