Selena Gomez Gets Real: Addressing Health Rumors and Skin Concerns

Selena Gomez BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Selena Gomez has been refreshingly candid this week, tackling fan questions head-on about her health and appearance in a series of Instagram Lives and Stories that lit up social media. On December 16, during an Instagram Live, the singer-actress addressed rumors swirling about her changing voice, explaining its due to throat swelling from medications she takes for lupus and bipolar disorder. According to E News, she said, Sometimes things happen, I get weird, my throat kind of swells inside sometimes, adding shes glad fans are real with me and appreciates their concern. Elle reports she cut off a deeper explanation with, Theres no excuse, I dont really care, emphasizing its part of her ongoing health journey thats previously caused body changes like weight fluctuations.

The day before wrapping that Live, Gomez laughed off another personal query in her Instagram Stories, where a fan asked how she shaves her mustache. Alice965 and Bored Panda detail how the 33-year-old clarified its actually melasma, a common skin discoloration from sun exposure often worsened by hormones, not facial hair. I totally get it, she said, zooming in bare-faced to show it, plus a pimple, while urging fans to wear sunscreen and be careful. NewBeauty notes this aligns with her Rare Beauty ethos of realness, as shes long been open about acne, stress breakouts, and lupus-related arthritis shaping her accessible product designs.

These moments cap a banner year for Gomez, who married producer Benny Blanco in September and hit number two on the Billboard 200 with their joint album I Said I Love You First. Shes also up for her fourth straight Golden Globe nod for Only Murders in the Building, reacting with deep gratitude on socials. No major public appearances or business moves popped in the last few days, but her raw transparency continues dominating headlines and X chatter, potentially solidifying her legacy as a mental health advocate.
