THIS WOMAN has shared how relieved she was to be told her acne was down to high testosterone only for online trolls to brand her “a man” and demand her picture is published with a trigger warning.

Agriculture student and farm helper Shauna Murdie (22) from the Jedburgh, Scottish Borders has suffered from acne since age 15, the skin condition affecting her daily life for years.

Shauna received a lot of online abuse due to her appearance, many online trolls often misgendered her and negatively commented on her gender, sexuality and skin. Shauna was called “disgusting”, “dirty” and that she shouldn’t be allowed to post her face online without a warning.

Trolls often pushed Shauna towards Accutane to clear her skin, however, due to her previous bad reactions to medication, she refused, causing responses such as “fine, it’s your choice if you want to stay ugly”.

Despite the awful comments, Shauna has been able to embrace every part of herself, learning how to care for her skin and accepting her acneas a part of her.
