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."
