Dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee, widely known to audiences as the face of the hit reality television show “Dr. Pimple Popper,” is sounding the alarm after suffering an ischemic stroke, in hopes of bringing awareness to the subtle warning signs she ignored.

The 55-year-old was on set of her Lifetime series “Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out” in November when she experienced the medical emergency, but initially dismissed the symptoms, attributing them to stress, anxiety, or fatigue from her demanding work schedule.
