Swelling, Blisters, And More — IU Reveals Her Agonizing Health Condition
Singer IU recently opened up about having a rare syndrome that has been causing her much pain since she was younger.
On December 19, IU appeared as a guest on actress Yoo In Na’s YouTube channel and discussed a health condition she has been suffering from.
IU explained that she has something “like a mosquito allergy,” which causes her skin to react harshly to a mosquito bite, forming lumps on her skin “like an old man with a bump.”
The lumps then get infected and painful, leaving her with no choice but to take antibiotics.
Yoon In Na mentioned that a quick search revealed what IU had was called Skeeter’s Syndrome. The singer confirmed, adding, “The area where I’m bitten swells up severely like an edema and blisters form.”
IU also expressed her frustration, mentioning that mosquitos often bite her face, leaving long-lasting scars. She revealed that she still has calloused skin on the area where she was bitten as a child. The singer finally declared that she hated mosquitos even more than cockroaches for this reason.
Meanwhile, IU has been caught up in political strife recently, creating heated public discourse. Read more about it here.
