Dr Lee Removes Almost A Litre Of Mysterious Fluid | Dr Pimple Popper: Pop Up

Delano first noticed his bump when he was 19, and now is asking Dr Lee to help, but even she isn't expecting the amount of fluid that comes out.

From Season 1 Episode 8

We have an update!

Lee sent the fluid to a lab to be tested, then ordered a CT scan for Delano. Six weeks later, he returned to the office to get the results. By that time the bump had already started to fill up again.

The testing showed that the fluid trapped in Delano's back had actually leaked from his lymphatic system — the network of tubes that keeps our body fluids in balance and helps us fight off infections.

There was a blockage in Delano's lymphatic system — like a "kink in a garden hose, " Lee said — and the lymphatic fluid was leaking into the space beneath his skin. (The scientific name for the issue is a lymphangioma, Lee explained.) The bad news was that he'd need surgery to fix things. The good news was that the growth wasn't cancerous or dangerous.
Lee said she planned to refer Delano to a surgeon to repair the leak — and presumably, he lived happily ever after.

It's still not clear whether or not there will be more episodes of "Dr. Pimple Popper, " or whether it was just a one-time special. INSIDER reached out to TLC for more information but did not hear back immediately.

Wow. To the friend and her mom for taking him in, god bless them. He’s a great young man

[mjrussell]

This poor sweet intelligent young man was homeless due to growth on his back because he couldn’t get a job (!?!) I hope his life is better now as he deserves the best life. He had a future working with older adults that need assistance - he’s so kind and gentle.

Y’all for who was curios it was his fluid that is between ur brain and skull and it was leaking down into his back they eventually fixed it and it’s gone this was the first episode of dr.pimple for anyone who was curious

[ahthisisgood]

That man has had a tough time. All he wanted was to work, provide for himself, and be proud of himself. Better man than many out there. Respect to him.

There was a follow up programme on this. Dr Lee found a surgeon able to do the surgery and the lymphangioma was removed. The surgery was done for free. Delano is now free of this. Dr Lee really is a wonderful person.

[lovejones]

The part when he spoke on being homeless really made me tear up. I’m glad he was able to make it out of that situation. He seems like a really sweet person and while I don’t know what came of this situation since his episode wrapped up, I still hope it turned out to be a very happy ending for him.

[lance]

What a chill dude he seems really cool. I can't wait for the follow up.

[Helmutlozzi]

So glad this dude got the help he needed! And god bless his friend and her mom for taking him in ❤

[Kehranii]

he's such a kind soul...
I hope he's out there somewhere in life, enjoying his time.

If this is trapped spinal fluid from a leak I can’t believe he hasn’t had any side effects from the leak. Biggest clue was he “felt it in his head.” He is lucky because you can die from a leak. I have had 2 and major surgery for one already.

Such a wonderful young man. Wishing you health and happiness. You deserve the very best that life has to offer.

[Ramy-qltr]

Delano, you are on the right path. I wish you all the best and success in your life.

[BabyandLittleGuy]

What a sweetheart Delano is. He is a QUALITY young man! He is capable of so much! God Bless you, Delano!!

He had a lymphangioma. (Noncancerous fluid-filled cysts that form often on the head and neck.These cysts form when lymph fluid backs up and doesn't flow normally through tissues.)

[tessy]

Wow hearing breaks my heart cause trying so hard in a already difficult society as it is and him dealing with even more, it's just so difficult and so glad he met Dr Lee 🙏

[lauriesorensen]

So sad, Thank goodness for a friend like this. Thank you kind people

[weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

Oh this poor man has been through such hardship because of that 😔 He was so scared before and then afraid after because it wasn't yet over. I just wanted to give him a hug. I'm so glad that someone in the comments section has clarified the outcome as this Really needed to be said!

[rogue]

this poor, kind, beautiful man! i hope he’s well and that he’s recovered his self esteem

[ruthfoster]

What a nice mother and son to take this young man in when he had nowhere to go
