Bridgerton's Yerin Ha Developed Medical Condition After Filming Bathtub Scene
Filming that bathtub scene in season four of Bridgerton wasn’t exactly hot and heavy for Yerin Ha!

“But I blame myself because I think it was a combination of baby powder and the bath water,” she added.
Folliculitis is a common skin condition that occurs when “a hair follicle becomes infected or inflamed,” according to the Cleveland Clinic. “This condition may look like acne, often starting out as small red bumps.”
Luke, 37, then noted that he and Yerin were submerged in the bathtub for sex or seven hours while filming the scene.
“But you were fine!” Yerin said with a laugh. “So it’s me. I’m a sensitive gal.”
