Overview

  • In a viral TikTok on August 3, Glanville showed red, blotchy burns on her cheeks, chin and nose after leaving Nair hair-removal cream on her face for seven minutes.
  • She cautioned viewers to perform a patch test before using depilatory creams as peels and to limit their application time to avoid similar injuries.
  • To soothe her burns, she shared a DIY cooling spray recipe of aloe vera, cucumber and black tea and advised spraying it throughout the day.
  • Glanville first revealed her battle with a self-diagnosed facial parasite in December 2024 and was hospitalized in April for temporary head and neck paralysis without a clear diagnosis.
  • She has spent more than six figures on medical treatments while documenting her ongoing recovery and continued search for a cure for the organism she calls “Caroline.”
