Natasha is seeking the help of Dr Pimple Popper, after the keloid bumps on her ears caused "major discomfort". These bumps are caused by too much collagen in skin, after injury or damage like a piercing or burn. The NHS describes keloids as scars that keep growing and become bigger than the original wound.
In a preview clip for the TLC reality programme, Natasha begins: "My ears are covered in keloids." As the clip goes on, viewers can see the bumps growing behind her earlobes, and hanging off the sides. Natasha further explains: "They've consumed it. The consistency of each growth is very squishy and movable, I can definitely move it around. Now they look like mushrooms or cauliflowers."
Viewers have thrown their support behind Natasha, with one writing: "She is so pretty and honestly I thought she had some cool earrings at first!" Another said: "I think they're kinda awesome, she can rock em'!" However, some weren't as impressed, with one writing: "I'm never gonna look at mushrooms and cauliflower the same.. thanks."
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. This season has also included a woman with maggots in her toes and a man with 400 tumours across his whole body.
The latest episode of the show follows a man with a lump on the back of his head who compares it to ‘cheese’ and even names it Larry. He explains: ‘This is my bump Larry. It’s the size of a lemon, almost. As he squeezes the lump on the back of his head, he continues: ‘It feels almost like cheese. ‘It’s liquidy in certain spots, like right here it’s soft and right here it’s firm.’
Dr Pimple Popper airs on TLC in America and it has been a great platform to showcase the different types of skin conditions people are dealing with. Natasha's case is one of many, and viewers have been very supportive of her journey. We look forward to seeing how Dr Pimple Popper helps her in her journey.
