The former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has often used social media to openly talk about her ongoing health challenges, sometimes posting worrying updates that spark conversation.
She has previously claimed that doctors have told her a possible explanation could be a ‘parasite’ moving around her face, which she believes might be behind the visible changes and damage to her facial features.
Doctors have not yet confirmed any specific diagnosis. In the meantime, Brandi has spent more than $70,000 trying to get answers and find effective treatment for her condition.
She also revealed that she lost nearly six teeth, which she attributes to stress-related angioedema — a condition she discussed during an interview with the US Sun.
In the video’s caption, she explained: “Beauty hacks (this is a good one but do a test patch)I did 7 minutes and I’m on fire sooooioko don’t to 7 minutes it also burned the loose skin off my arms & its 7 dollars mix up some aloe vera, cucumber and black tea put it in the freezer put it in the spray bottle and once it’s cold enough spray all day cause I’m in some pain.”
Alongside that, Brandi also mentioned in the clip that she had chosen to apply the hair removal cream Nair directly to her face in an attempt to tackle her skin issues.
“Because when I have an exfoliated face it p*sses the [parasite] off, whoever is living in my face.”
Some speculated that she might have suffered chemical burns from using the cream on her face.
Fans also voiced fears about her mental health and suggested that she might want to explore whether she could be dealing with a condition known as Morgellons disease.
This particular condition is linked to what’s called delusional parasitosis — where someone believes they are infested with parasites even when thorough medical exams show no physical evidence to support that belief.
The medical community still doesn’t have a clear grasp of Morgellons disease, as its cause remains a mystery and is often debated among professionals.
