Former The X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has revealed that she’s uncovered the cause of her 12-year heath battle that left her fearing for the appearance of her face and in horrific pain.The 36-year-old says she saw doctors across the country as she felt like her 'cheek was on fire' constantly and felt a sensation like ants crawling in her face.
She was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy – a condition which affects the muscles in the face – in 2020 but continued to have issues as her face regularly became swollen leaving her taking steroids to help control the symptoms.Tulisa admits she would ask herself: "What the hell is going on with my face?" However, after a doctor did a crucial ultrasound, the underlying issue was finally exposed.Tulisa explained on Olivia Attwood 's podcast So Wrong It's Right that they discovered “three chronically infected cysts” in her cheek, one of which popped during an “explorative operation” due to being so big.
She added: “I've no idea what they were caused by, they weren't filler, they were just self-occurring, but I came out of the operation and instantly my face was less swollen. “There's some still there so I still have the inflammation but it's way less.
In the next two months he's going to go in to get those ones.” Tulisa – who is rumoured to be part of this year's I'm A Celebrity line-up – had her first Bell's Palsy attack aged 24, after which she attempted to use fillers to 'balance out' her face, but she feels this put her in a “vicious cycle.” She lived with the condition for two years but started to feel a "low level swelling" in the same cheek, which rapidly increased.
