OH MY GOODNESS. I had this lesion when I was born. I had a lesion on the bottom of my foot and it grew from a pea size to a half dollar . When I was 6 years old, a doctor did multiple puncture biopsy and skin scrappings . which leads to inconclusive results. As I grew up, I experienced a lot of pain that would feel like I was walking on a razor blade. I was so afraid to seek medical help cause of the trauma as a child. I finally mustard up the courage to have my foot looked at. The doctor suggested going to surgery to remove the lesion. I agreed, and it was taken off. Due to the fact that I went so long and cupping my foot to reduce the contact surface of the lesion and no medical care, I ended up having a collapsed foot, which required plates and screws. My foot still hurts, but the pain of the lesion is gone. Seeing this video literally put the final piece of the puzzle to long journey. Thank you, Dr. Lee. I wish you were my doctor when I was younger.
I've had MS for nearly 40 years. Do NOT give up fighting. When I was first diagnosed there weren't many meds, and now there are so many! Also, I'm happy you saw Dr Lee, and happy you have The Warden to fight with and for you! God bless, and take good care of yourself!
Because Dr Lee is a dermatologists I would assume she would refer him to either a specialist or his PCP. She always does if it’s something she cannot treat. But at least she took biopsies and now he knows what it is.
There isn't a treatment or cure. They treat symptoms. If it's itchy or infected etc. You might read about steroids or UVA light treatments, but nothing really works to get rid of a lesion. Was initially diagnosed over 20 years ago and have seen 6 different dermatologists over the years. I go back every once and while to see if something new has come up. Fairly rare, so little research is being done.
It is called Necrobiosis Lipoidica Diabeticorum. It is rare, around 1%of diabetics get it but there have been patients with no diabetic symptoms. I have 17 lesions. Someone already commented that the symptoms are treated but as it is rare, little is known about reversing it. However, there have been cases of spontaneous reversal. I will keep my fingers crossed 🤞 I am from the UK and have only had it for 3 years. Good luck to this gentleman ❤
My lesions looked very much like ringworm when I was a teen. I was super embarrassed, but looking back, it really wasn't a big deal. When it itches is the WORST. I'll get an area right near the joint on the top of my foot and the itching will wake me up. Itching inside a joint or an itchy nerve deep under the skin and awful because you can't reach it to scratch! Cold helps to calm a flared lesion for anyone curious, and try to not scratch it!
Look up diabetic shin spots. They go away when you start to control your blood glucose levels. I’ve seen weird purple blotches/growths on legs for someone who has liver disease. They also started to go away when they cut out fat and alcohol.
So is there a treatment plan? Will they continue to get larger? He’s gotta be pre-diabetic if this is only associated with diabetes and he has TWO. Follow-up please.
@@19irvingIt’s possible. Blood sugar fluctuates on some people differently and he could be on the high end but not high enough to medicate. Ever since I had Covid mine runs borderline to the point that I have neuropathy in my feet. But it’s not high enough to be on meds. Let me be clear, my A1C is 6 & my insurance will only cover meds if it’s 6.4. To get meds I would have to pay $1000/month. Not happening because I can’t afford that.
I was diagnosed about 20 years before I was told I had type 2 diabetes. The dermatologist said it wasn't a case of if I got diabetes but when. Initially I was told it was called "necrobiosis lipoidica diabetacorum". But they seem to have dropped the last word.
No, that's stupid he doesn't need a second opinion about diabetes. He is not overweight to have type two diabetes with type one diabetes it's easy to detect there's smell fruity. He would be drinking a lot of water and urinating a lot. I know because my great-grandmother, my brother, had type one diabetes. My mother and sister had type two diabetes. With type one diabetes your pancreas stops making insulin. Every three years, i would have my blood sugar checked. No diabetes
@@daniellewoolley8607 what's stupid is for u to think u know all of the symptoms he is having or to think u know for sure what he does and doesn't have. A second opinion is always a smart move.

I hate it when there is no final conclusion. Like, you have this thing and we can give you X and it will get better, or, there is nothing you can do but it won't hurt you. What kind of treatment was done?
To me, knowing the patient has been worried, I think she should walk in and immediately say “it is not cancer or anything life threatening.” THEN go on to explain what it is.
But then they won't listen to anything else the doctor says- it's like as soon as they hear "it's not cancer" their brains switch off and they don't hear everything else, which is very important, too.
@@Kat-tr2ig Do you REALLY think that they absorb anything the doctor says until the results are announced? I certainly didn't when I was in the patient's position.
@@roberthudson1959speaking from my personal experience yes, I’ve been in that situation a total of 3 times now, and the two times they explained things before advising it wasn’t a malignancy (once) and was malignant (once) I knew what they had explained fully leading up to it. The time I was told it was a benign growth I totally tuned out everything after. Ended up having to call the office afterwards to try to find out what they had explained after and was told they couldn’t give any diagnostic information over the phone so had to make an appointment to go back then wait another week to find out what was going on. The only thing I did know was that it wasn’t cancer. 🤷🏼♀️
Since the show is scripted and recorded in advance, I'm pretty sure Dr. Lee told the patient what the diagnosis was right away. But for the actual show, it's scripted to make it look like he has no idea at first.
Why didn't they go over the treatment plan? This show is becoming less interesting every episode. We don't get to see the pimple being popped and now we're not getting the treatment plans what's next we don't even get tests and results.
That's not her field. She can tell him to see his primary care who will offer a panel of blood and urine tests and might refer him to an endocrinologist if he's diabetic.
I have GA & it’s more of a raised looking rash, really only itches when I swear Mine personally looks like ring worm 👎 Atleast it’s on my ankle no one really sees it
I had attacks of GA too and mine itched like crazy and it looked just like ringworm too. I had the darned thing all over my body but steroids got it to go into remission and it never came back.
Dr. Lee I would beg to disagree. He is obese & with MS. MS for m suggest an autoimmune disorder that suggest something far toxicity / mitochondrial disease. If your good patient would go low sugar HIGH animal fat diet should ch as Carnivore after several months all his health issues would improve. Dr. Ginge. He should definitely get a tryglycerides/HDl ratio, fasting Insulin, and consider a 2 hour post prandial glucose tolerance test & hgba1c.
Dr. Lee said that he is not diabetic. The lesions can be treated with steroid injections. Health insurance won't even pay for all of that testing unless it's necessary. I'm a diabetic, have extremely high cholesterol and have an autoimmune disease. I got to three different doctors for my treatments but they usually share the same blood tests every six months so that my insurance will pay the bill.
@@19th-Nervous-Breakdownwell first I am a medical doctor. Dr. Lee is a dermatologist. One sees only that which they know. I would suggest that you need to go on an elimination diet “ strict carnivore diet and end your type 2 diabetes. You will need to fine a doctor to assist you. What you’re eating is causing your health issues. Dr. Ginge
I have a skin issue ever since iraq ill develop a rash , the va says it's a build up of skin yeast and will always come back.every single guy in my company has it.
I'd bet it was indirectly caused by your iummune systems being compromised by whatever weird "vaccine" combinations the Military gave you guys, supposedly in preparation to potential exposure to biological weapons. I hope you get healing (and justice) someday...
Wish they had included explanations of this condition and possible treatments, which include steroids and/or immunosuppressants among others. Cause is unknown. Can lead to skin cancer if not treated. (Learned this from glancing at Google very quickly.)
I love how this couple chose to do this together. That is what a good marriage is all about. What a precious example from these wonderful people.

@@jimsanders4412 yes indeed
Why can't big boys cry? After all they are human with feelings. There is no reason they shouldn't cry.
I'm glad Dr. Lee found out what it was, but what did they do to treat it and what was the out come.

This seems so scary yet Dr. Lee is still calm, she is good at what she does and knows what she does
Miss Pimple a good doctor. 😊
Legit I really appreciate how she cares
Because Dr Lee is a dermatologists I would assume she would refer him to either a specialist or his PCP. She always does if it’s something she cannot treat. But at least she took biopsies and now he knows what it is.
A dermatologist would be the one to treat this.
My friend had this on his shin and it turned out to be caused by his type 2 diabetes that he didn't know he had.
I had hit my shin bone on my wooden foot stool I stepping up on the stool and it bruised my knee terribly
So what’s the treatment?
I just looked it up, there is no cure for it, only low dose aspirin and steroids.
Rightttt! Damn
I looked it up and since his spots are older lesions it would be steroid injections into the lesion. Newer ones can be treated with topical steroids.
@@MA-mh1vsThank you

This man and his wife are wonderful people. I how he don’t get diabetes likes he said he might. I’m wondering what the treatment will be.
It can also occur if you have rheumatoid arthritis
So was there a treatment for this? Did it get better?
What was the treatment? You left us hanging.
not telling us how you would treat this is disappointing
MS buddy!
I'm sure she's referring him to have test
Jamaican Castor Oil every day may help. Along with overhauling his diet.
He probably needs a second opinion on the diabetes. Maybe go see an endocrinologist next to make sure.

I didn’t know I had diabetes type two my doctor saw on my bloodwork and she freaked out more than I did
So, what's his treatment plan? You left that out.

Really tired of the non answers doctors give sometimes.
If it’s cancer, he would have been dead by now
