Next on the agenda, we have a heartwarming story about a man who has been living with a large bump on his head for the past 30 years. After enduring years of discomfort and self-consciousness, 57-year-old Clyde is finally taking the steps to have the lump removed.
The bump first appeared two years after Clyde was hit by a cricket ball at close range. In a recent episode of The Bad Skin Clinic, he opened up about his experience, saying, "It's quite an unusual thing. I know it's not going to go away. Sometimes I've laid in bed and just thought, 'Why have I got this?'" He also shared a humorous anecdote about his dog, Bonnie, who often wakes him up by licking the lump on his head, prompting him to say, "Cheers Bonnie, you're reminding me the lump's there," with a laugh.
Accompanied by his wife Caroline, Clyde visits consultant Dr. Emma Craythorne to discuss the removal of the bump. He explains that the lump appeared two years after the cricket ball incident and has been a source of self-consciousness for him as the years have gone by. "It is a bit of a bump, isn't it?" he remarks.
Clyde had previously attempted to have the lump removed in Turkey, but unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. "I came home with a scar and a lump," he recalls. Determined to find a solution, he seeks further help from Dr. Emma.
After examining the bump, Dr. Emma identifies it as a lipoma, a benign tumor made of fatty tissue that feels soft and squishy. She explains that the only way to remove it is through surgery, which she plans on doing by "popping it out" and leaving a flat area in its place.
However, Clyde's lipoma has a further complication due to the previous failed surgery in Turkey. Dr. Emma makes an incision in line with the previous one and carefully removes the lipoma, with Clyde being awake during the procedure. She also discovers a smaller piece of lipoma that was trapped behind scar tissue from the previous surgery.
As she removes the second piece of fatty tissue, Clyde can't help but exclaim, "Yabba dabba doo!" in a moment of lightheartedness. After the successful operation, Clyde sees his new face for the first time and is left choked up with emotion. "Oh my god! I'm speechless... It's round!" he declares. Dr. Emma praises his "perfect" skull shape, and Clyde's wife, who has never seen him without the bump, is amazed at the transformation.
"I do, I feel a million dollars," Clyde says, choking back tears. When Caroline walks in, she is stunned by his new look. "Oh my god, you look so different! Your face, you look so happy," she says. Clyde jokes, "So what shall we do tonight then, take a few selfies?" with a newfound confidence.
