The specialist clinic opens its doors to patients with acne, psoriasis and cysts. Following work at a specialist clinic where four top dermatologists treat a range of conditions. They squeeze, drain or pop cysts, lipomas and anything else that's getting under their patients' skin. A hairdresser is determined to watch his own surgery being carried out, a patient tries to flatten a lump by hitting it with a book, and Dr Emma diagnoses a rare form of acne.
The dermatologists at the skin clinic squeeze, cut and sew their way through the patient list. In treatment room 1, Doctor Shah prepares for Steph. She has had cysts on her head for 20 years, which has made her self-esteem suffer. Since the bumps are now quite large, every visit to the hairdresser is torture for them. Next patient is Glenn, who wants to get rid of a cyst and a skin tag on his back. He'd already tampered with it himself with an insecticide vacuum, but only made things worse. Now his cyst has burst while on vacation and has become severely inflamed.
Dr Spearings is first at the clinic today to treat Shane. The 36-year-old has an inflamed lump on her jaw and a painful lipoma on her buttocks, which is not covered by health insurance. The bump on her face is a big handicap for Shane: she's reluctant to leave the house to avoid being stared at. The next patient is Lorraine, who is also hoping for a quick solution to her problem: she has cysts on her head, one of them the size of a golf ball, and hasn't dared to go to the hairdresser for years. Patient number 3, a student nurse, has large moles on her face and body.

Dulcie has been growing a large lipoma on her neck for over a decade, and it immediately catches the eye. Accordingly, she is often asked about it, which gnaws at Dulcie's self-esteem. dr Natalia examines the unsightly growth and wonders how her patient could put up with it for so long.
The treatment marathon in the skin clinic starts today with Lucy. The 35-year-old has long had a lipoma on her forehead, which she always hides under hats. But now she is supposed to be her best friend's bridesmaid and wants to get rid of the bump. dr Spearings explains to Lucy that a scar will remain - but that's not the problem: the patient has a pronounced needle phobia. However, the operation cannot be performed without anesthesia. Gareth is also extremely afraid of injections, but the desire to finally say goodbye to his cyst on his head is greater. -Especially since the growth is huge.
The removal of ulcers and lumps is routine for the dermatologists at the skin clinic, but a nerve-wracking matter for patient Brian. The young man is plagued by skin warts. He has over 20 under each arm, all of which he wants to get rid of. at Dr. Toby Nelson is Brian in safe hands, but he is very afraid of the treatment: needles, scalpels, blood - everything scares him. The procedure will only take about 20 minutes, but Brian is so panicked that Dr. Nelson becomes concerned. And other patients suffer for years because they don’t dare to go to the doctor.
