Katie Couric Gives Eczema Update After Sharing Up-Close Look at a 'Flare Up'
Katie Couric
Katie Couric is giving her followers a glimpse into her eczema journey, even if it's not always the best look.
The former Today host shared a raw, close-up look at her latest eczema flare up to Instagram this week in the hopes of sending a tip to fellow people with "sensitive skin."
The photo shows a bare-faced Couric, 66, leaning in close to the camera while one of her eyes is very clearly red and inflamed.
She explained in her caption that she's been suffering from eczema ever since she was a young girl, but as she's gotten older, "it's started to flare up again."
"I also deal with allergic contact dermatitis," she added. "Safe to say, I have to be careful about what I put on my face."
Couric went on to rave over products from Dr. Cheryl Lee Eberting, treatments that she said have "really helped." She posted the link in her bio for those with similar issues to check out.
At the end of her post, Couric addressed the unfiltered photo of herself, writing, "I can't believe I let my team post this picture. Good Lord ??)."
But her followers appreciated the vulnerable post from Couric, including one fan who wrote under the photo, "Thank you for posting ???? and sharing."
"Extremely helpful!!!" someone else added.
Kristin Chenoweth also chimed in to commiserate with Couric, commented, "I have it to Kc. It stinks!"
"Ouch??" added Michelle Pfeiffer, who we know has been dealing with her own eye affliction lately, after suffering an injury to her face during a game of pickleball earlier this month.
Couric has since assured her followers that her flare up was only temporary, adding in the comments, "By the way this cleared up by the time I had my date with George. It just flairs [sic] up a lot and it’s so annoying! ??."
