Who is Tyler in 'Dr Pimple Popper'?
Tyler's hands are always in pain. He described his suffering as "so excruciating" that he wishes he might sever his hands rather than have them for another second.
Dry, flaky skin can be exceedingly irritating, even painful. Thankfully, a heavy-duty moisturizer or body oil can give some relief from this bothersome skin condition. But Tamyra, an old Dr. Lee patient, had to resort to a knife and sandpaper to get rid of her dry, flaky skin. She also had what Tyler has. Tamyra said in her introduction that she has an acute dry skin disease that causes the skin on her arms and hands to look like "fish scales" but feel like "reptile skin." Tamyra sought aid from Dr Lee to alleviate the persistent strain and anguish produced by her skin disease, ichthyosis vulgaris.
Her skin problem also caused deformed fingerprints that could not be read. Tamyra became tearful as she described how it was 'exhausting' for her to take care of herself on a regular basis. However, it was Dr Lee who ultimately assisted her by putting an end to her torment.
