The content creator explains how wearing pre-loved clothing caused him to contract molluscum contagiosum.
The infection causes spots on the skin, according to the NHS.
Luckily, the condition is usually harmless and rarely needs treatment, reported by Need To Know.
But someone with a weakened immune system may experience many or larger spots on their face or around the eyes.
The condition is usually spread through skin-to-skin contact but the TikToker believes his experience is related to the unwashed second-hand clothing.
His can be seen covered in small lumps as he talks over the video.
The TikToker says he appeared “distorted” and that he was miserable when he found out he contracted the infection.
The video has gathered over 259,000 likes and thousands of comments.
