107-year-old Chinese woman has left social media users stunned after revealing a massive horn growing from her forehead.

The lady, Chen, has become a sensation on the Asian platform Douyin after a video showcasing her strange four-inch protrusion went viral.

107-year-old Chen went viral for her 4-inch ‘longevity horn’ on Douyin.

Dermatologists identify the horn as a cutaneous horn, not magical.

Not only has Chen led an unusually long life, but she remains in excellent health.

Those close to her describe her as having a strong appetite and a cheerful disposition, with her viewers believing the horn to be the secret to keeping her healthy.
