Dermatologist Sandra Lee, known as Dr. Pimple Popper, suffered a stroke in 2025, which left her with limited mobility and speech, particularly on her left side. She spent the rest of 2025 privately recovering, spending time with family, and reducing her stress, before returning to her role on her show, "Dr.Pimplepopper: Breaking Out," where she treats patients with large cysts and unique circumstances. Despite the challenges, Lee remains committed to finding the silver lining in her recovery and investing in her community. She also campaigns for stroke awareness and is committed to spreading stroke awareness, urging others to act their biological age even if they don't look or feel it. Dr. Lee has joined the American Academy of Dermatologists to help younger dermsologists navigate a stifling medical system and is inspired by her 4.6 million followers on social media.
