Her actual name is Sandra Lee, but she is so popular in her field of dermatology that she is known by most people as Dr. Pimple Popper. In 2015, Dr. Lee began to provide a window into her job by filming dermatological procedures -- some quite gruesome, like blackhead extractions and cyst dissections -- and posting them to her website and across other social media outlets. Lo and behold, the content has been viewed by millions of people, who now have their own designation -- Popaholics. Now comes a reality show on TLC, which says Lee is a "celebrity who has pioneered the fastest growing medical fascination in decades."

Others, to be sure, are horrifying, but all of them are told by the actual couples who, in the heat of the moment, got themselves into a fix and needed a doctor to get them out.
