A mum who experienced severe rosacea making her face “constantly red” and who could not be prescribed any treatment by her GP as she was pregnant at the time, making her cry in her car, has found a “miracle cure” – a cream made from caper extract.
Lesley Forward, 36, a business coordinator who lives with her partner Michael, 35, an aeronautical engineer, and their two children, Lea, six months, and, Kaley, age 13, developed rosacea in the summer of 2019, but it was not until she was pregnant for the second time, in March 2022, that it got worse.
Lesley had a rash on both cheeks, as well as her nose, which was “really, really red and really bumpy” and at-home treatments did not make it any better, making her feel “so rubbish about (herself)”.
