In an Instagram post, Ridley said she was diagnosed with endo at age 15, but recently found out she has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) too:
The pain was back (more mild this time!) and my skin was THE WORST. I’ve tried everything: products, antibiotics, more products, more antibiotics, and all that did was leave my body in a bit of a mess.
Finally found out that I have polycystic ovaries and that’s why it’s bad. I can safely say feeling so self-conscious has left my confidence in tatters. I hate wearing makeup but I currently don’t want to leave the house without it on.
She said that she was making progress with the help of a dermatologist, and encouraged women to get tested if they feel that something is not quite right.
From your head to the tips of your toes we only have one body, let us all make sure ours are working in tip top condition, and take help if it’s needed.
