A heartbroken lady has raised an alarm on social media after a wig she bought online left her hospitalized.
The lady identified as @mommin_whilehealin on TikTok revealed that she bought the wig from Amazon.
According to the lady, the wig infected her with molluscum contagiosum and left her hospitalised afterwards.
Molluscum contagiosum is an infection of the skin that causes skin-colored bumps.
She showcased the bumps that were all over her face and body in the video.
She said; “It’s 3 am and I’m in the hospital because I bought a wig off of Amazon and ended up with Molluscum.”
The video ignited reactions from netizens who doubted the possibility of contracting the infection from a wig.
Erykah Boseman said: “I thought Mollluscum is classified as a STD, so how did it get on wig?”
@user7704450256256 said: “I thought molluscum is a skin infection from someone else. How did you get it from the wig?”
Tip said: “WHO WAS THE VENDOR??!?? Why not share that info as well??”
PYT66 reacted: “So you don’t know for sure that you got it from the wig? You’re assuming.
User6507884327173 said: “I just looked that up and it says it’s mostly spread from person to person sexually skin to skin and it’s prevalent in kids.”
Ang reacted: “It’s spread from contact with someone. Do you have small kids? It’s a common rash among the young.”
Dorien J said: “I just looked this up and it say it takes months to heal and it say some other stuff too so ima keep buying Amazon wigs. I hope you feel better.”
