Brandi Glanville has been using a red light device on her face while filming on social media after opening up about her disfiguring skin condition.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 52, last year said she had developed a mysterious skin issue, which her doctor believes to be an infection, as she explained her absence from the public eye.
Brandi’s plastic surgeon this week gave fans an update as he confirmed she had undergone tests to discover what the problem is after he took four biopsies from her face.
Amid her health woes, Brandi used what appeared to be a red light device on her face while filming her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, with her co-host James Maas.
She was seen rolling the device on her neck while talking as red lights shone on to her skin. It is not known what the device is or what it is used for.
However, Brandi did reveal that her use of the red light device is relating to her mystery skin condition during an Instagram Live last week.

When a fan asked her if the ‘worm’ was gone, after she said it could be an infection or parasite, she replied: ‘The worm is not gone, that is why I’m using this [device].’
During her latest podcast episode, she also told how she ‘really needs’ the device and has to give it back soon.
MailOnline has contacted Brandi’s representatives for comment.
Earlier this week, Brandi’s doctor Terry Dubrow gave her fans an update on her health amid her concerning skin condition.
The plastic surgeon, 66, told Us Weekly that Brandi had undergone tests, but it would still be some time before the results were in to help narrow down what she might be suffering from.
Dr Dubrow last month took ‘four biopsies’ from her face as he works to get her a proper diagnosis.
‘I can tell you something, Brandi has been significantly affected by whatever this mysterious illness is and I’m trying to help her,’ Dr Dubrow said at Cure Addiction Now’s Inaugural Fundraising Evening.
‘In the next several weeks, we should have a better idea of what’s actually going on.’

The doctor, who is married to Real Housewives Of Orange County star Heather Dubrow, praised Brandi for being ‘tough’ and ‘brave’ amid the ‘difficult time’.
He added that he is seeing Brandi ‘frequently’ and is ‘not too far away’ from finding a resolution to her issues.
‘I think once we get a diagnosis and we get a treatment plan, that we can get on the other side of it,’ he said.
Brandi has claimed to have already spent more than $70,000 trying to figure out what has caused her health issues.
After suffering with abnormal facial swelling, Brandi became concerned it could be due to parasites, but Dr Dubrow was unsure and publicly offered to treat her.
He threw cold water on Brandi’s ‘parasite’ theory, and instead thought her misshapen skin and sunken cheeks were more likely the result of an infection.
The plastic surgeon added that antibiotic treatments for mycobacteria or fungus could take six to 12 months.
He emphasized that her condition could be a ‘ticking time bomb,’ and urged her to get help from her doctors as soon as possible.

Brandi first sparked fan concern when she shared a photo in which she looked unrecognizable with deflated cheeks, months after showing fans her facial swelling.
Brandi has since said Dr Dubrow told her it might take five years for her to be ‘totally’ fine as she also revealed she hasn’t had sex in a year due to her health issues.
‘I have places to go, people to make out with. I have not had sex since last October. I haven’t kissed [or] made out with anyone. I haven’t socialized, really,’ she admitted.
Brandi claimed she has spent $70,000 already trying to determine the cause of the lumps and has even had all of her facial fillers dissolved.
‘I’ve been on meds this whole year. I don’t socialize. I don’t go out and I’m just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what’s wrong with me, over $70,000,’ she told ET.
‘Honestly, I have so many doctors and I’ve had so many tests … I did lab work for $10,000. I ran every test under the sun.… They’re like, it could be a parasite that’s, you know, new.’
Since revealing her health struggles, Brandi has slowly returned to the spotlight, recently appearing at a Los Angeles pool party in a pink bikini.
