Actress and comedian Amy Schumer revealed during an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast that she was diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome.
After receiving hurtful comments and criticism about her swollen face, Amy Schumer shared in her participation on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she was diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome.
“The doctors were talking and saying something like: ‘No, no. There’s really something wrong. Your face looks very strange,'” said the star of “I Feel Pretty.”
Schumer said that her diagnosis was a result of steroid injections following her breast reduction and cesarean section after the birth of her first child.
Cushing’s syndrome occurs when there is an excess of the hormone cortisol over an extended period. Symptoms include weight gain in the face, a rounded face, acne, slow wound healing, and thin, fragile skin that bruises easily.
Schumer said she felt “reborn” after sharing the news amid the criticism she had received.
In February 2024, after her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” people on X, formerly Twitter, began to notice that Amy Schumer’s face looked swollen.
“Thanks for every comment about my face! I have been taking this type of body comment very well, just like all women, for over 20 years,” Schumer responded at the time in an Instagram post.
