Removing A Horn-Like Growth And 6 Cysts From Woman's Head

 

Dr. Sandra Lee, famously known as Dr. Pimple Popper, treated a patient named Lisa who had a horn-like growth, identified as a cutaneous horn, on the back of her head, along with several other cysts on her scalp.

Initially, Dr. Lee expressed concern about the "horn" due to its unusual appearance and size, as cutaneous horns can sometimes be associated with skin cancers like squamous cell carcinoma [1.2, 1.3, 2.6].² However, after its removal and pathology results, it was determined to be an inflamed follicular cyst with no risk of cancer.

During the consultation, Lisa also presented with other bumps on her head. Dr. Lee was mindful of not shaving Lisa's head, a common concern for patients with scalp lesions, and focused on carefully pinning back her hair to access the growths.

The video documenting Lisa's case shows the removal of the horn-like growth, which was a significant source of anxiety and discomfort for her. The successful removal and the reassuring pathology results brought immense relief to Lisa.
