The schoolgirl was left with wounds on both hands after attempting the social media trend during a sleepover, with doctors warning that her recovery could take two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A TikTok trend left a 10-year-old schoolgirl with painful burns, necessitating surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The youngster was at a sleepover with a friend when they decided to try out a trend they had seen on the social media platform TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trend involved applying deodorant to your hand to make it feel icy cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The girl’s friend went first, spraying the can for a few seconds before the other year 5 student took a turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second student sprayed for about 10 seconds while holding the can just an inch away from her delicate skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“10 seconds of stupidity has left her with two years of pain,” her horrified mother told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They were just messing around with the deodorant can,” the mother of three explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I saw her hands, I couldn’t believe it; I couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry. “She’s effectively given herself frostbite.” Her friend did it first, but not for long, and then she tried it. It was such a shock because she is normally such a sensible little girl, she never gets in trouble, and she isn’t someone you have to constantly correct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
