A woman’s mysterious skin condition has left her in extreme pain after it grew across her stomach and back five years ago.
She’s now a patient on Dr Pimple Popper, which follows cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist Dr Sandra Lee helping patients across America, which this season has included a woman with maggots in her toes to a man with 400 tumours across his whole body.
Elsewhere, the show has followed someone with a ‘third boob’ on their shoulder, a tearful grandad with a ‘plum sized nose’ and a woman who had a piece of lead stuck in her hand for 45 years.
‘Some of the skin just starts cracking,’ Dr Lee’s latest patient begins in a preview clip.
‘It is very itchy. I do get these feelings of a rubber band going around me, and it’s extremely painful.’
She goes on: ‘This condition started about four and a half to five years ago.
‘When I first noticed it, it was probably about this on my side, and it was painful.

‘And then, over a month, it seemed to be getting bigger.
‘I decided to go to the doctor and I was told it was adhesions.’
She then explains: ‘Adhesions are when you cut yourself or you have surgery, scar tissue forms under your skin.
‘I’ve had a complete hysterectomy and two hernia surgeries, but it just kept growing.

‘I knew it couldn’t be adhesions.’
This comes after an eight-year-old girl detailed the daily difficulties and discomfort she has faced due to her own skin condition.
‘I have this horrible skin condition,’ Wynter says, before revealing it started when she was just six months old.
Her mum then explains: ‘She had a rash that popped up on her inner thigh that was the size of a quarter.

‘It started to spread like all through her legs, and its predominantly now on her arms.’
Wynter’s mum took her to see ‘a few different doctors’ since she was a young age, revealing she has been diagnosed with ‘psoriasis, eczema and scabies’.
‘It’s very itchy,’ Wynter adds.
She says: ‘It’s worse when I wear polyester or wool, it gets better with lotion or when I take showers, because it clears it up.’
