A young girl was left severely injured after attempting an online trend she saw on TikTok.
The 10-year-old was at a friend's sleepover when the duo decided to try out the social media trend that involves spraying deodorant on your skin to make it feel ice cold.
The girl, from Hertfordshire in England, ended up suffering from burns on both her arms after spraying the can just an inch away from her skin for around 10 seconds.

The girl's mum told The Mirror UK: "10 seconds of stupidity has left her with two years of pain."
The girl was taken to hospital after the family tried to treat the burns at home but didn't succeed.
The doctor said the wounds were likely to take 18-months to two years to heal completely and that she would need plastic surgery.
The mum, 39, added: "She's basically given herself frostbite. Her friend did it first, but not for as long and then she gave it a go.
"It was such a shock, because she is such a sensible little girl normally, she never gets in trouble, she's not one you need to tell off all the time.
"She just had a lapse of common sense."
The mum said the girl's summer is ruined because she can't go out in the sun or jump into a swimming pool because of the burns.
She warned other parents to "keep reminding [your children] not to take part in idiotic trends like this, those 10 seconds have ruined her next few years."
A TikTok spokeswoman said: "We care deeply about the safety and wellbeing of our community.
"We actively remove content that depicts dangerous challenges and prompt people who search for it to visit our Safety Centre, where they can find an in-app guide for engaging with an online challenge, developed with leading youth safety experts."
