A brave woman has been praised online after hitting back at trolls - as she said she know's she is beautiful despite what people say.
TikTok star Naomi, @niomi_xoxo, recently uploaded a video and many people in the comments had noticed the same thing, that she had a series of marks on her skin.
Now the young woman has posted another video, responding to the comments - explaining that they are burn marks from a hot water bottle.
She hit back at negative comments about them, and said that she's 'fully aware' they are there and that she knows she is beautiful despite them.
What do you think about Naomi's brave response? Let us know in the comments...
In the video, Niomi said: "This, I am fully aware that it’s here. It’s not stretch marks, it’s not making me feel ugly, don’t worry guys.
"It is literally just because I walk around with (a hot water bottle) in my pants 24/7 because I am such a cold person.
"Even if I’m going to the shop I will put a scarf on and have my hot water bottle here. So everyone commenting saying ‘it’s stretch marks, you’re still beautiful though’ - I know.

"And it's not stretch marks, it’s literally just hot water bottle marks. And it doesn’t make me feel any less pretty, it’s my fault it’s there and it will fade away.
"It’s just because I’ve been isolating for the past ten days, it’s just got worse and worse and worse. But I had it last year and I had it the year before and it always goes away for summer.
"It doesn’t bother me so it shouldn’t really bother you."
Naomi's video soon went viral with over 100,000 views and thousands of likes, alongside a slew of comments - many of which focussed on Naomi's hot water bottle usage.
One said: "Please be careful this is actually dangerous. You seem very nice so please don't think people are having a go at you…."
And a second said: "Be careful, mine scarred my stomach."
Then a third added: "I get the mottled skin on my tummy sometimes too from my hot water bottle."
