Social media star Charlie Michael Baker, 18, has revealed a shocking health ordeal. He claims that getting lip fillers at age 16 led to a severe, body-wide case of psoriasis.
đź’‰ Underage Procedure
Charlie, who has over a million followers and wrote a best-selling book on autism, sought cosmetic procedures last year. He reportedly received 18 injections over five months from a woman he contacted online. The legal age for fillers is 18.
He soon developed painful red patches. The practitioner allegedly dismissed his severe side effects, suggesting they were an “allergic reaction to fast food.”
🤕 Painful Full-Body Condition
When the condition spread, Charlie saw his GP. He was diagnosed with psoriasis, which doctors called one of the worst cases they had ever seen. The painful, peeling patches covered him from his scalp to his toes.
The experience was “horrific” and severely damaged his confidence, causing him to hide from the public eye. Doctors believe the chemicals in the filler caused a massive inflammatory response in his gut, leading his cells to attack his skin.
🛑 Recovery and Advice
Steroid creams failed to help, costing him thousands of pounds. Nearly a year later, Charlie’s condition has largely cleared up using immunosuppressants.
Charlie continues to get fillers but now only uses certified plastic surgeons. He warns others about the dangers of using unqualified providers, particularly when they prioritize an influencer’s platform over safety and legal age requirements.
