Mila De Jesus Had Skin Disease
In October last year, the weight loss influencer revealed that she had been suffering from a skin disease called psoriasis since July. Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes raised, red, patchy areas on the skin with silvery scales. Six years ago, she underwent a major weight loss surgery.
"It's been three months dealing with this situation, 80 percent of my body is affected. Juggling doctors, medications, ointments, and taking a deep breath," she had posted in October. In November last year, she celebrated her surgery, sharing photos of herself before and after the weight loss procedure.
