A student who thought a horrifying red spotty rash that covered her lower body was caused by ' partying too much ' was stunned when doctors said it was actually 'triggered by her contraceptive pill'.
Ella Holley claims she started taking the Cerazette mini pill back in October but three days later dashed to Gloucester Royal Hospital A&E as strange 'tiny red spots' began appearing all over her legs.
The 20-year-old said she experienced a series of 'flare-ups' where a painful red rash extended from her feet up to her waist and slightly on her arms, having seven flare ups in under three weeks which left marks even after the rash had faded.
