Daisy Edgar-Jones has said she has endometriosis and had extremely bad acne through most of her teenage years. She links her volatile, breakout-prone skin to hormonal fluctuation from endometriosis and says diagnosis around age 24 brought relief.

Why did diagnosis bring relief?
The Celeb Post reported that Edgar-Jones received her diagnosis around age 24. She had lived for years with painful periods and volatile skin. She described the diagnosis as a relief because it explained those earlier symptoms.
LADbible reported that her mother told her at age 20 that her pain was not normal. Edgar-Jones later sought ultrasound confirmation at 24. She said she had often kept working through pain, powered by adrenaline.
What does she say about hormones and skin?
NZCity reported that Edgar-Jones said, "I have endometriosis, so my hormones are kind of all over the place," while discussing her skin the hormones and skin report. She made the comment while demonstrating her routine.
The remark ties hormonal fluctuation to breakouts and instability. The same report said she had "extremely bad acne for most of my teenage years." She said that with terrible acne, it was all she could see in the mirror. The detail matters for readers whose breakouts affect confidence as well as comfort.
How is she managing it now?
In a later British Vogue interview, reported by LADbible, Edgar-Jones called endometriosis "a chronic thing" she has researched and managed the family and health interview. She said it is "far less painful now than before." She also said she does not want it to stop her having a family.
The Hillingdon Times reported that she found skincare that works for her over the years. That followed a long period with painful periods and volatile skin. Her point is steady trial and care, not a quick fix.
What if your periods and skin feel similar?
The Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust patient leaflet states endometriosis has no known cure and is chronic the NHS endometriosis leaflet. It can cause pain, low energy, depression and fertility problems. It also notes medication, hormones or surgery can manage symptoms.
Her story points to self-advocacy rather than self-diagnosis. Tracking patterns and asking questions prompted her ultrasound and answers. Bring a short symptom timeline to your visit and ask what next step fits your case. Do not start hormonal treatment for skin alone without medical advice.
- Note period pain, cycle changes, fatigue and skin flares with dates
- Bring family observations and prior period history to the appointment
- Ask a clinician about referral, ultrasound and symptom-management options
- Discuss acne care with a clinician or pharmacist alongside any hormonal treatment
