Brandi Glanville is battling a mystery condition that has affected her face and an expert says the reality TV star "needs a diagnosis" very soon or she could suffer worse complications.
In a post on Instagram last week, the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star shared a Cameo video she filmed for a fan. She revealed the clip was taken a year ago before her health issues started. She then proceeded to share an unfiltered photo of herself at present.
"Sick it!" she captioned the post, showing her significantly deflated face and damaged skin.
The "RHOBH" alum shared that she has been in and out of the hospital for the past half a year, trying to figure out what's going on in her body.
"Some [doctors] say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it's stress-induced edema," the 52-year-old celebrity explained.
However, according to "Botched" doctor and plastic surgery expert, Dr. Terry Dubrow, her condition is unlikely caused by a parasite.
In an interview with TMZ, Dubrow said the irregularities on her face may be caused by microorganisms that have entered her bloodstream through something she had injected.
"It’s not going to be a parasite, it’s not going to be something she ate, it’s going to be from something that got into her bloodstream," the 66-year-old doctor explained.
He also warned that the star should get a diagnosis as soon as possible because her condition could get worse "every minute."
"She’s like a ticking time bomb...It could be more difficult to treat and she could form more scars and more nodules. So Brandi needs a diagnosis."
While Glanville's condition remains a mystery, she admitted that her health struggles have taken a toll on her mentally and emotionally.
"It's a very fragile time for me. I don't remember a day when I haven't cried," she shared in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight.
"Honestly, health is wealth," she added.
