“Had a mole on my forehead removed and sent away,” she said on Tuesday.
“And this one on my tummy removed and getting tested,” Clinton added, sharing a bikini photo taken earlier this month that shows the mole.
Clinton has grown an audience of more than 1.9 million followers on TikTok sharing her life with husband Ben and their three children — Navy, 4, Bambi, 2, and Soul, 10 months — in Palm Beach in Sydney’s north.
Earlier this year Clinton proved that looks can be deceiving, posting photos from what appeared to be a picture-perfect family holiday.
But in reality, the TikToker was quietly crying behind her glasses after experiencing a “nightmare” road trip.
Taking the kids out to dinner in April, she told her followers of the evening, “I was wearing sunglasses and crying behind them ... because it was all just too much”.
“I’m covered in Soul’s vomit trying to enjoy an oyster.”
The mum said she eventually left the restaurant with her three kids after experiencing the “most stressful dinner”.
“I took the kids and left Ben to enjoy his meal after 40 minutes,” she explained.
Despite the chaos at dinner, her husband Ben wanted Indy to “smile” for the camera so he could take a picture of her — as she cradled Soul in her arms.
The mum said her baby daughter Bambi was a “nightmare” during their family getaway.
“Bambi has been screaming all night, every night,” she said
“She’s waking the entire house up.
“Defiant and hurting herself during the day, black eye and split chin already on this trip. Isn’t phased by anything and her only response is ‘no’.”
However her eldest boy Navy was on his best behaviour.
“Navy was such a good three-year-old, wild and full of craziness but so good for me,” Clinton said.
“Bambi complete opposite. More wild, more crazy and so bad for me.
“It’s killing me.”
In 2023, Clinton made a brutally honest admission about what she was not told before becoming a mum.
“(For example), the more kids you have, the less people check in and care about you,” she said.
“I know it’s really sad. It doesn’t make sense. It’s weird, but I figured that out.”
Clinton said she noticed most of the friends she had before starting a family no longer existed in her life.
“This one’s my favourite one — you will lose pretty much all your friends that you had pre-kids,” she shared.
“If they don’t have kids, you will probably only keep one or two because they’re just on a different pathway to you and they do not get it.
“They will be like, ‘Why can’t you come to my birthday? I know you’ve got two kids and you’re pregnant and you’ve got morning sickness, but why can’t you drive an hour-and-a-half and come to my birthday? Just does not make sense.’
“But you know what? You make amazing new friends and that is what life is about.”
