The latest craze has left children accidentally burning their skin with aerosol deodorant.
The deodorant challenge involves children spraying deodorant onto their skin until it burns, leaving them with awful injuries.

Stanley and her daughter, Kaitlyn, appeared on ITV’s This Morning where the girl said she had burned her arm repeatedly using an aerosol because “it looks really cool”. However, she said she was unaware of the damage.
She also said that she had “no idea” how many times she had sprayed the aerosol and didn’t know how she felt about the way her arm looked, as the Independent reports.
The pair wanted to spread the message that the challenge that turns your skin white isn’t worth the trouble.
