This dangerous new 'deodorant challenge' is leaving children's skin covered in burns

A worried mom has warned other parents about a dangerous new craze that is leaving children's skin covered in burns.

Known as the "deodorant challenge," school children are reportedly filming themselves holding aerosol deodorant canisters a few inches above their skin before pressing and spraying it for as long as possible.

During an interview with U.K. talk show This Morning, 12-year-old Kaitlyn Stanley shared how she had burned her own arm using an aerosol deodorant because "it looks really cool."

"My friend started doing it," Kaitlyn told the host. "You spray it and it goes white and it looks really cool, so I tried it."

They're supposed to light a lighter after they get it spraying, that creates the burns!
