Brandi Glanville, 48, has recently revealed that she suffered painful burns over her face after at-home psoriasis treatment went wrong, according to PEOPLE.
On Thursday, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star posted a photo of her face after some outlets criticized her appearance following an Instagram Live she did on Wednesday.
Posting a picture of her face after a bad reaction, Glanville tweeted, “So this happened to me in December 2nd degree burns all over my face from an accident with a psoriasis light I am still healing & really didn’t want to share these photos but since @DailyMail is attacking my looks her is the 411.
One fan asked about her current health. She replied, “I’m OK but you know it happened in December I’m still swollen and having people attack my looks just makes me feel like I never wanna leave my house and I just want to cry.”
Describing her symptoms, Glanville wrote, “My retinas were burned my eyelashes burned off I couldn’t open my eyes [for] three days the light was so painful.”
She later explained, “It was an accident obviously my doctor told me to hold the light over my face for 17.3 what I thought were minutes but it was seconds,” adding, “completely my fault.”
“It was suppose to help the psoriasis that was overtaking my face from stress,” she added.
A couple of months before Glanville’s psoriasis flare-up, her friend LeAnn Rimes posted a nude pic, revealing her psoriatic patches.
In an essay for Glamour, Rimes wrote she finally found an effective treatment for her psoriasis when she was in her twenties, according to PEOPLE. Her condition subsided to the point where she felt comfortable stopping the treatment around two and a half years ago; however, that all backfired in 2020.
The singer wrote, “All hell broke loose in the world — and inside of me, as I’m sure it did for so many other people amid this pandemic. Suddenly I went from doing what I love, and being surrounded by people, to just hanging around the house in sweats. Stress is a common trigger for psoriasis, and with so much uncertainty happening, my flare-ups came right back.”
