A gay porn star has shared a montage of his Moneypox symptoms that he developed over a month which left huge blisters and could leave scars for life.
Silver Steele, of Houston, Texas, started getting monkeypox symptoms around July 11, when small pimple-like white spots started appearing around his mouth.
Over the course of three weeks, Steele watched the spots become painful, red blisters before it eventually scabbed over and started healing.
The porn star said he was posting the montage of his symptom development 'not to gross anyone out, but to educate.'
'This is really hard to look at,' he said in a July 25 video he posted to his social media. 'I'm just asking everyone to be a little compassionate and to understand that if its hard to look out, imagine what it's like to have.'
'Not everyone displays symptoms the exact same way, but I’ve been told by more than one professional that my case is a "clinically perfect" example,' he said on Instagram on August 4.

Steele showcased his entire journey with monkeypox from when he started developing symptom on July 11 until he was out of his quarantine period on August 1
Steele first noticed the bumps after a Fourth of July party and initially thought it was only razor burn, according to Insider.
But four days later, the porn star noticed his health had declined and that 'my lymph nodes were swollen, it was hurting to swallow and I was just having trouble moving.'
After going to the doctor, it was confirmed he had the virus and he would go on to develop a fever, chills, and night sweats, according to Insider.
Within 48 hours, his legions began to hurt as the flu-like symptoms subsided. He would develop more legions on his gums, throat, legs, and hands, and said it 'hurt most when I ate.'
'There were times when I was literally just sitting there watching TV and all of a sudden it's just like knives stabbing you,' he told Insider. The pain was pretty intense.'
