“It started about a year ago and it was about the size of a bouncy ball that you get out one of those machines.

"When I first saw it I didn't think of it as anything big - I just thought it was an ingrown hair.

His girlfriend Brittney said Ravon’s confidence had taken a massive hit.

"When I first met Ravon, his confidence was out of this world," she said.

"I would like Ravon's confidence to come back."

The 26-year-old had the fatty lump removed on the US reality show Dr. Pimple Popper.

Dermatologist Sandra Lee was left shocked by the ailment, which turned out to be a lipoma.

"My initial reaction with Ravon is, wow,” she said.

“When somebody tells me that they have a growth on their leg, that is not what I'm expecting."
