AN influencer was left in shock after his lip filler went completely wrong, causing the skin on his face to turn red, raw, and peel off. Charlie Michael Baker, 18, revealed how doctors were left baffled after he developed a severe case of psoriasis from "scalp to toe".

He disclosed that a beauty professional had given him 18 injections over a period of five months, despite him being only 16, when the legal age for administering fillers was 18. Charlie, who became a best-selling author, is from Leyland, Lancashire. He eventually went to the doctors after the “horrific” flare-up.

They diagnosed him with psoriasis, which started spreading all over his body. Charlie, who has 1.4 million followers, explained that he spent around “three to four grand” on steroid creams as the condition continued to flare up. Speaking to the Mail Online, he says: "My skin was just peeling off. I couldn't even wear make-up.
“It was so red and so dry and so itchy. At points I just felt like going into the kitchen, getting a knife and just cutting the skin off. “I would sleep on one side and it would burn.”. Charlie explained that prior to the fillers, he hadn’t suffered from this type of skin condition.
He found that the steroid creams were not working, so doctors prescribed him with immunosuppressants which have mostly cleared the skin condition up. It all began when Charlie was 16 and reached out to a person that does filler on Instagram, asking if they’d like to work together.
