Dr. Sandra Lee, better known as Dr. Pimple Popper, tackles another round of extreme dermatological cases in “Skin Deep,” airing this Monday on Lifetime. Known for the show’s close ups of oozing boils and other assorted skin conditions – viewers can expect the usual mix of wincing and satisfaction as Dr. Lee works her magic.

This week features Katrina, whose life has been significantly altered by painful, smelly boils. Viewers also meet Kim, whose body is covered in tumors. They’re interfering with her sleep apnea mask, leaving her perpetually exhausted. Dr. Lee also takes on a new case involving Emil and his wife, who worry about a potentially cancerous growth on Emil’s back.
