King's burns aren't the only problem she's had with her skin lately.
In July 2024, the Family Affair actress shared her skincare routine while opening up about her recent frustrations with perioral dermatitis.
While using a small razor to dermaplane her face, the star said she's been struggling with perioral dermatitis for the last seven months. The skin condition, also known as POD, causes small red bumps to form around the eyes, nose or mouth, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association.
"I'm trying to stop my prescription stuff to make it go away on its own," King said at the time. "I just stopped it like a week ago, I started using my other skincare and, you can't really see it right now, but it's like coming back. And I have literally no idea what to do about it."
She also captioned the post: "Any tips for the dermatitis would be greatly appreciated."

Toddler 'Rushed to the ER' After Swallowing Button Battery. Nearly 2 Years Later, Mom Says the Recovery Has Been ‘Torture' (Exclusive)
Kasey Allen's son, Asa, accidentally swallowed a button battery in October 2023 Allen noticed something was wrong with Asa and rushed him to the hospital. It would be one of many trips they would take Now, she's using her platform on TikTok to raise awareness of the dangers of swallowing button batteriesIt was an ordinary day in October 2023 when Kasey Allen's world changed. Allen tells PEOPLE that she was tidying up while her kids were playing just a short distance away. However, as she was finishing up her chores, she didn't notice her then-16-month-old son, Asa, swallow a button battery. "Asa and my other two children were playing as I was picking up and cleaning in our RV," Allen recalls. "At some point, Asa grabbed the remote to the backup camera, which was mounted to the steering wheel, dropped it, the battery fell out, and picked it up and swallowed it." When Allen walked back into the area, she found the remote lying on the floor, and about 20 minutes later, Asa started showing scary symptoms. Allen says the little one began salivating, was noticeably flushed in his face, and became very whiny and fussy. Eventually, symptoms of fatigue began setting in. "I was unsure of what was going on because I didn't know there was a battery in the remote and didn't know the signs of symptoms of button battery ingestion," Allen explains. "I became worried as his symptoms lingered for about an hour, and then he started coughing up black flakes, which was the outer covering of the battery," she adds. "We rushed to the ER, where he was X-rayed, and they found he had swallowed a button battery." According to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, more than 3,500 button batteries are ingested per year in the United States. Signs someone has swallowed a button battery include: noisy breathing, coughing, drooling, difficulty swallowing, a hoarse voice, vomiting, chest or abdominal pain, and gagging, coughing or choking with eating or drinking. When swallowed, the small lithium batteries often get stuck in the throat and saliva triggers an electric current, which can lead to severe burning, esophageal perforation, vocal cord paralysis and more. Allen says the recovery process has been "long, disappointing, expensive, exhausting for our family, and extremely hard to watch our son go through." "He's had to go weeks with only IV nutrition, months of torture going back and forth to the hospital, and has dealt with the difficulty of eating and swallowing for 18 months." Allen has been sharing Asa's story and journey of recovery on TikTok. The video she shared of Asa going in for his 27th dilation treatment went viral, amassing over 5.5 million views. "Miraculously, Asa has zero scarred tissue in his esophagus after four treatments from the new facility/doctor from whom we sought a second opinion," she says. "He's had approximately 27 dilations to stretch his esophagus. We haven't had to give him any feeds through his G-tube since his first dilation with his new doctor at the end of February. He is growing so big." Allen hopes to raise awareness of the dangers of button batteries by sharing their story online. "Be aware of what electronics in your home may contain a button battery and make sure it's properly secured with the screw that should now be in place, thanks to Reese's Law," she says. "Know the signs that follow the ingestion of a button battery." "If you think your child has swallowed a button battery, honey is said to slow the corrosion of the battery and could potentially be life-saving." A hack, Allen shares, that she didn't know at the time. Allen chose to share Asa's story on TikTok because she knows the app reaches millions of people around the world. "It was my best bet to get this information out quickly and efficiently," she shares. "We've had an outpouring of support and prayers and parents thankful for the information and awareness." For others that find themselves in a similar situation, she urged them to "find a support group, stay strong, and most importantly, learn how to advocate for your child."

Texas Hospital Discharged Woman with Untreated Ectopic Pregnancy. Then She Started Bleeding Out: ‘Oh My God, I'm Dying'
Kyleigh Thurman filed a complaint against Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital after suffering an ectopic pregnancy. The medical emergency led to a ruptured fallopian tube that caused heavy bleeding A federal investigation has now found that the hospital broke the law by failing to give Thurman proper medical careA federal investigation has found that a Texas hospital broke the law by failing to give a woman proper medical attention following an emergency pregnancy complication. In August 2024, Kyleigh Thurman filed a complaint against Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital over a February 2023 visit when she suffered an ectopic pregnancy. According to the Mayo Clinic, ectopic pregnancy "occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus." This type of pregnancy cannot proceed normally because "the fertilized egg can't survive,' and it can lead to 'life-threatening bleeding, if left untreated." Court documents claim the hospital discharged Thurman, 36, without treatment, after allegedly giving her a pamphlet about miscarriage. She later returned due to continuous vaginal bleeding, but was 'denied care' again. 'It was not until her OB/GYN pleaded to hospital staff that she be given care that the hospital provided the necessary care,' the filing states. 'This care was too late, and Ms. Thurman's ectopic pregnancy ruptured due to the hospital's delay in treating her.' It was during this third visit to Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital that Thurman was reportedly told her case was now severe and her life was at risk due to the heavy bleeding. The untreated ectopic pregnancy resulted in one of her fallopian tubes rupturing. '[My OB/GYN] came in and she's like, you're either going to have to have a blood transfusion, or you're going to have to have surgery or you're going to bleed out,' Thurman told the Associated Press, through tears. 'That's when I just kind of was like, 'Oh my God, I'm, I'm dying.'' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Thurman underwent emergency surgery to remove one of her fallopian tubes, ultimately jeopardizing her fertility moving forward. A spokesperson for Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital tells PEOPLE that they cannot comment on Thurman's case, but noted that it 'is committed to providing high-quality care to all who seek our services.' Shortly after Thurman's complaint was filed, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) launched a federal investigation into her case. According to AP, investigators concluded in a report last month that Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital failed to give her a proper medical screening exam, including an evaluation with an OB-GYN. The hospital also reportedly violated the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), which requires emergency rooms to provide stabilizing treatment to all patients in medical emergencies. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! The report stated, per the outlet, that Thurman was 'at risk for deterioration of her health and wellbeing as a result of an untreated medical condition.' 'We see patients with miscarriages being denied care, bleeding out in parking lots. We see patients with nonviable pregnancies being told to continue those to term,' Molly Duane, an attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights that represented Thurman, told the outlet. 'This is not, maybe, what some people thought abortion bans would look like, but this is the reality.' Abortion is currently banned in Texas after six weeks, which is before most people know they're pregnant. The law does not allow exceptions for women who were impregnated as a result of rape or incest. Under the legislation, private citizens can also sue doctors or abortion clinic workers who perform or help to set up the procedure. The near-total ban has led to numerous claims of delayed pregnancy-related care — even for care that is legal under state law — due to fear of the extreme penalties for physicians who violate the abortion ban. In 2022, the Biden administration released guidance specifying that hospitals must provide an abortion if needed to treat a patient with an emergency condition. States including Texas challenged that guidance, saying it equated an abortion mandate. On June 3, the CMS announced that it would revoke the Biden-era guidance, explaining in a statement that it would 'work to rectify any perceived legal confusion and instability caused by the former administration's actions.' 'CMS will continue to enforce EMTALA, which protects all individuals who present to a hospital emergency department seeking examination or treatment, including for identified emergency medical conditions that place the health of a pregnant woman or her unborn child in serious jeopardy,' the agency said. However, Thurman told AP that she had hoped the investigation would lead to a more clear message that ectopic pregnancies must be treated by hospitals despite state abortion bans. 'I didn't want anyone else to have to go through this,' Thurman said. 'I put a lot of the responsibility on the state of Texas and policy makers and the legislators that set this chain of events off.' Read the original article on People
