Dr Sandra Lee, known as 'Dr Pimple Popper', has built a global following by documenting unusual dermatological cases, ranging from a 45-year-old pencil fragment embedded in a patient's hand to some of the largest blackheads recorded on television. Her programme, which airs on TLC and streaming platforms including Discovery+ in the UK, follows patients seeking treatment for long-standing skin conditions.
Among the most widely discussed cases is that of a patient named Jennifer, who presented with a hardened mass in her hand. During the procedure, Lee discovered the lump was caused by a fragment of pencil graphite that had remained in the tissue for more than four decades. The case is frequently referenced by viewers due to its unusual cause and the length of time the condition went undiagnosed.
