Brandi Glanville had mysterious ‘black mass’ removed from her face during surgery amid ongoing health nightmare

Brandi Glanville said surgeons removed one of several unexplained “black masses” from her face, but doctors do not yet know what it is. The reality television personality continues to deal with an antibiotic-resistant infection and facial problems, which have limited her ability to travel and take part in everyday life.

On her podcast, Glanville said she is taking antibiotics almost continuously and has seen some improvement with new medication, though part of her face is not moving properly. She has previously reported diagnoses including Demodex dermatitis, mononucleosis, Valley Fever and resistant bacterial infections; her symptoms began in 2023. Earlier theories about the cause have included a parasite, stress-related swelling, breast implants and a benign tumour in a lymph node.
