Clare’s only respite was when she was pregnant with their three-year-old son Ethan, when her acne was replaced with a “pregnancy glow” – but the acne soon returned after she gave birth. “I remember my mum taking me to the GP and they put me on the pill to try to calm down the flareups.” It feels so nice to have that bonding experience with my child Clare West She added: “I’ve been on different antibiotics too, some have worked better than others.” As an adult, Clare found using a contraceptive pill helped to clear her skin. She added: “When I fell pregnant with Ethan, I was really worried about my skin getting worse, as I’ve heard of that happening to women, but I was really lucky – I had the pregnancy glow and didn’t have any acne throughout my pregnancy.” But, after giving birth in 2019, Clare said her skin started to break out again. “I didn’t expect much because I’ve tried so many things in the past but, by March 2022, my skin was really clear,” she said.
