  • In her latest Instagram post, Dr. Pimple Popper gave fans a sneak peek at one of her upcoming patients.

  • The bump is unlike anything she's popped before and comes out of the top of her patient's head.

  • Popaholics filled the comments with crazy theories and speculation about what the bump actually is.


If a bump can grow, Dr. Pimple Popper can pop it. She has tackled everything from DPOWs, cysts, lipomas, blackheads, to whiteheads, and combinations of all of them. Through them all, her loyal popaholics have watched her every move and pop.

Dr. Pimple Popper, aka dermatologist Sandra Lee, MD, has a true head-scratcher coming up later this week.

She shared a photo to Instagram of a new patient, who she will treat during Thursday's new Dr. Pimple Popper episode on TLC. Dr. Pimple Popper captions this Instagram post: "Hmmm...is it rope? ...is it a makeup brush? ...or will you find out this THURSDAY, 9/8c on @tlc?! #drpimplepopper ✌🏼❤️💥"

Dr. Pimple Popper leaves it up to her loyal fans to figure it out. Naturally, they have a lot of fun theories. The comments are overflowing with them.

One commenter wrote, "It kind of looks like the bottom of a mushroom." Another added, "It's crowning." While other popaholics thought it looked like "a tree trunk", "a giant nail", "a horn", an incredible blackhead, a "big toe" on the scalp, or a mystery button.

One popaholic shared a very specific theory of their own. "It's one of those dolls that I had as a child that grew hair. Then you would use a key to pull it back into the head."

Their imaginations really ran wild. One commenter shared: "Ice age raccoon hid acorn on her head 😂" That would not be pleasant once it started sprouting, that's for sure.

Some offered total shock and disbelief: "I have never seen anything like this in my life." A fellow popaholic wrote, "This is actually freaking me out." So far, Dr. Pimple Popper hasn't offered any more clues.

Keep the theories coming, but you'll all have to wait until 9 p.m. Thursday for the big Dr. Pimple Popper reveal.
