A preferred TikTok dermatologist has been slammed for accusing a girl of faking a painful skin condition through the use of makeup.
Nancy Morel — who often posts clips chronicling day-to-day life along with her aggressive skin condition — posted one of her applying makeup during a flare-up last week.
It captured the eye of dermatologist Dr. Azadeh Shirazi, who stitched the clip alluding to the chance that Morel — whom Shirazi described as a “very talented makeup artist” — is faking her severe skin condition with makeup.
“Looks much like vascular occlusion…BUT,” Shirazi, who has 1.9 million followers, wrote on a video that has since been deleted. “Something’s not quite right…doesn’t seem ‘natural.’ “
Morel said she’d been going to doctors for her condition since 2016, but they haven’t been in a position to diagnose her, leaving her to administer it by herself. When she is affected by a flare-up, one side of her face breaks out in a dark red bruise-like rash, which she says leaves her feeling dizzy and unwell.
Morel responded to Shirazi’s post, admitting when she was younger it will have made her wish to “crawl into her self-conscious shell.”
“I hope this lady can understand why this video is amazingly upsetting considering her large following and spreading false information on situations she clearly hasn’t researched,” she captioned the clip, adding she doesn’t wish the dermatologist “any hate or negativity.”
Within the video — which has been viewed greater than 8.4 million times — Morel proved she wasn’t wearing makeup by wiping her face and showing various snippets from her medical records, which date back to 2016. She also showed the within her mouth and her lips that were also affected.
“In the event you’re going to talk so vocally on something that’s so sensitive, then be sure you’re 100% right,” she said.
The clips garnered attention online from TikTok users and medical professionals, with 1000’s showing support for Morel. Medical professionals also weighed in.
“It shows people how harmful this sort of behavior from medical professionals is,” Dr. Kelly Killeen, a LA-based plastic surgeon, said. “I hate once I see medical professionals, many in my field, who’re giving unsolicited opinions and advice about other people’s bodies, bodies which they’ve not examined and so they don’t have any relationship with.”
The Post has reached out to Morel and Shirazi for comment.
