Experts say that washing the recently bought clothes before wearing it, especially if they are from a second -hand store.
Unfortunately, this poor soul learned this lesson in the difficult way.
According to Jam Press, a Tiktoker (@onevertwhoo_one) who preferred to be referred only by his name social networks, hired a skin infection probably due to his clothes that never happened.
He explained in a viral video that contracted the contagious mollusk, a viral skin infection consisting of small bumps in the skin.
Despite seemingly painful, apparently the condition is harmless and does not require treatment, according to Needtoknow.
Although this skin disease often extends through the skin to the skin or sexual contact, the Tiktoker blames its unwashed savings clothing for its ranch.
The assumption of the content creator could be accurate because, according to Frances Kozen, head professor at the University of Cornell in fiber science and clothing design, garments are often treated with a fabric softener, a repellent or repellent water coating, or an anti-military agent that can cause irritation, redness or Itching, he told the self-glear.
His vulnerable video received millions of visits and thousands of comments.
Some empathized with him: “I hope you go well soon and that you are as healthy as before.”
And others were confused about how he made this mistake.
“Why don’t you wash your clothes first?” A commentator asked.
“New fear unlocked,” another person intervened.
“Bost surprised because I just discovered that someone bought unavailable clothes,” someone else wrote.
Dr. Charles Puza, a New York dermatologist certified by the Board, also reiterated in a Tiktok video the importance of washing his clothes before putting it, “… especially if you like fast fashion like Shein and Temu.”
“They have things you don’t want on your skin,” he said in the video.
It is important to keep in mind that the contagious mollusk is not the only skin condition with which someone can infect if wearing clothes directly from a store or online. People also put themselves at risk of contracting the dyña if they do not listen to experts.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the Tiña, which affects the outer layer of the skin, is itchy, squamous and contagious.
“(La Tiña) can be extended through clothing, towels and bedding that (it has not been) disinfected after use by someone with (Tiña),” said the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in a report.
So, if someone is testing the clothes in a store and has a dye, and you buy that same clothes and do not wash it first, run the risk of obtaining the condition of the skin.
