President Trump’s eldest granddaughter says that a day at the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia, turned into a terrifying health scare after she suffered an allergic reaction.
Kai Trump, 18, recounted the ordeal in a YouTube video Monday, saying she needed a steroid shot to bring the reaction under control.
“It was so, so scary. I mean the needle was like this big,” she said, sizing up the needle to be several inches long.
Kai said the skin reaction was the result of using hand soap to wash makeup off her face.
“I started getting like these bumps on my neck,” she explained to her more than 1.4 million subscribers in a vlog ahead of her senior prom over the weekend. Kai said the rash was gone.

Kai has grown in popularity as both a social media influencer and a promising golfer. She committed to play at the University of Miami beginning this fall. Currently, she attends the Benjamin School in Palm Beach County, Florida.

While the allergic reaction required medical treatment, Trump still managed to spend time with some top golfers at the Masters. She took a photo with Bryson DeChambeau, an ally of Trump and one of the most prominent leaders of LIV Golf, a Saudi-funded competitor to the PGA Tour.
