Clare Crawley Shares Update After Struggling with Skin Condition: ‘It’s Been a Long Road’
Sending love.
Former Bachelorette Clare Crawley got engaged to husband Ryan Dawkins in October 2022, shortly after introducing him to Bachelor Nation a month prior.
The two officially tied the knot in 2023 and welcomed a beautiful baby girl named Rowen via surrogate in January 2024.
Clare has been keeping fans updated with her life online and opened up earlier last year about struggling with TSW (topical steroid withdrawal).
Later, she shared about her experience traveling to Mexico for new medical treatments using stem cells.
Now, the Bachelor Nation star has posted an update on social media, sharing a progress report on her skin condition.
In a new post on Instagram, Clare posted a video that shows her face with clear skin and no redness.
She said, “When you go through something like #TopicalSteroidWithdrawal, good skin days take on a whole new meaning… So grateful to finally see real healing in my skin. It’s been a long road.”
The former Bachelorette then posted a “before” photo on her Instagram Story of what her face looked like a few months ago.
She wrote, “Every derm told me: More steroids. Not working? Stronger steroids. Not working? Immunosuppressants. Not working? But the more I used them the worse I got. And it was more than skin deep. (This pic was just a few months ago).”
Followers commented on Clare’s video, sharing their support and love for the Bachelor Nation star.
One person said, “You always look incredible Clare, you’ve been thru so much, I’m glad you’re feeling good and liking what you see in the mirror ❤️,” and another wrote, “How can anyone not smile and giggle along with you in this video. Skin looks radiant and haircut divine. Love the happiness you exude.”
We agree with all the love and we’re so happy that Clare is feeling better. We’re continuing to wish her all the best on her healing journey, and we know her vulnerability will help so many others going through a similar experience.
