Some people called Nancy out for ‘faking’ things. Here is how she responded

@nancy.xoxxI don’t wish this lady any hate or negativity. I am only speaking on this because if 14 year old me saw a video like this she would crawl into her self conscious shell, luckily i have a platform where i try and share positvity about my unique condition and help people grow to be confident in themselves. i hope this lady can understand why this video is extremely upsetting considering her large following and spreading false information on situations she clearly hasnt reserched…..♬ original sound – Nancy Morel

@nancy.xoxx i try to stay positve on my social media, but i think it’s important to show you all that my condition doesnt just effect my appearance, it’s incredibly painful #nancymorel ♬ original sound – Nancy Morel

19-year-old Nancy, from the United Kingdom, is a very popular TikToker who documents living with her mysterious skin condition. At the time of writing, she had 1.7 million followers on TikTok, as well as a further 65.8k fans on Instagram.

On TikTok alone, her videos have been collectively watched over 69.5 million times. Clearly, her TikToks resonate with a lot of people who believe what she has to say is important.

Aside from makeup tutorials and videos about skincare, she tackles sensitive issues, including how people react when they see her face. Some of the comments that she’s had to hear are completely horrible. For instance, in one video, she shared how one of her teachers had mentioned that she looked like she’d been in a car crash.

Meanwhile, very recently, Nancy also had to deal with a dermatologist’s disparaging comments about her condition on TikTok. The woman had accused her of ‘faking’ her skin condition with makeup. Nancy called her out, proving that her condition was real. The doctor eventually apologized and removed the video. However, some of Nancy’s followers thought that the healthcare professional hadn’t been very sincere.

Previously, Nancy had told Buckinghamshire Live that she first experienced a flare-up when she was 12 years old. The situation became more and more serious by the time she was 16, spreading more consistently. As we understand it, she is still trying to get a medical diagnosis about her skin condition.

“It’s a part of me and as horrible as it is pain-wise, the way it looks on my skin shouldn’t be something that makes people think of me any other way, and that’s something I want to encourage my followers to know about their own selves too,” Nancy told Buckinghamshire Live in 2021.

“I don’t feel like I need to cover it anymore either, it’s part of me and I’m proud of how far I’ve come with accepting it. I definitely prefer leaving it bare now. Not only have I accepted my condition, but also it’s extremely painful, and wearing makeup doesn’t feel nice on it.”

She shared some more details about her condition in the comments
