TLC's Twitter posted a tweet containing a short trailer from the episode.

In the video, the patient from the episode said: "I have a huge lump on my shoulder. It's been around for such a long time."

"It's part of the family," her husband said.

She replied: "I don't want it to be part of the family anymore."

The mass on her right shoulder appeared to be larger than a softball.

The trailer teased that Dr. Pimple Popper might not be able to remove the lump from her shoulder.

The doctor even talked about waving a "white flag" and giving up on the lump's removal.

The post was captioned: "This lump on her shoulder is HUGE. Catch a new Dr. Pimple Popper Wednesday... to see what happens."

BUT WHERE'S THE NSFW CONTENT?

After the teaser for the episode was posted, the show's video production team might have regrets.

Due to the size of the lump, the angle of the camera, and how close the camera was to her arm - fans thought the woman's arm was a butt.

One fan on Twitter said: "Lord help me, I thought this was some a** cheeks on my feed."

Another wrote. "Thought this was an OnlyFans account at first glance."

"Forgive me butt..." one clever viewer said.

WHO'S PAYING?

Dermatology treatments can be expensive, which has fans wondering who foots the bill for Dr. Pimple Popper.

The patients on the show do not pay for their treatments, as medical costs are covered by the production company.

According to the beauty publication Allure, the show covers its cast's travel, accommodation, and treatment.

However, for patients to qualify for the cost-free treatment they are required to have either lipomascysts, large growths, or undiagnosed skin conditions.

According to the show's host Dr. Lee, there are a few different ways for patients to be cast on the show.

She said: "There are casting agents who are hired by TLC to find potential patients for filming.

"But they are always reaching out on open forums like Reddit or Facebook, asking for public submissions, which can be made to Popper@aberrantcreative.com."

Prospective cast members are encouraged to send in a submission that includes photos of their skin conditions and how it has impacted their lives.
