Brandi Glanville Claims Possible 'Sexually Transmitted Ringworm'
Reality TV personality Brandi Glanville has raised concerns about a possible case of “sexually transmitted ringworm” during a recent podcast appearance. The 53-year-old made the claim while speaking with podcast guest Lisa Ann on Thursday, sparking discussion online.
Glanville reportedly inquired, “I have a quick question. Have you heard about sexually transmitted ringworm?” The comment, made during a conversation on her podcast, has since garnered attention and prompted questions about the unusual ailment. While the term “sexually transmitted ringworm” is not a recognised medical diagnosis, ringworm is a fungal infection that can spread through skin-to-skin contact.
Ringworm, medically known as tinea corporis, is a common fungal infection that can affect various parts of the body. It is typically spread through direct contact with an infected person or animal, or by touching contaminated surfaces. It is not typically considered a sexually transmitted infection, although it can be spread through close physical contact. Symptoms include a red, itchy, circular rash that may resemble a ring.
Glanville has been open about her health struggles in the past. While the specifics of her current health concerns remain unclear beyond her podcast comment, the claim has generated significant online discussion and highlights the importance of accurate medical information. Medical professionals advise seeking proper diagnosis and treatment from a qualified healthcare provider for any suspected fungal infections.
