Rosacea is a skin condition that affects about 16 million people (mostly women) in the U.S., and though it’s often linked to redness, it’s much more than that. Rosacea is a complex, often misunderstood condition with various symptoms and triggers that can differ from person to person. Hormonal fluctuations, particularly around menopause, can contribute to rosacea flare-ups. The hormonal shifts in midlife may make women more susceptible to skin issues like rosacea, which can worsen during hot flashes or other hormone-driven changes. While it can be challenging, painful, the good news is that you don’t have to suffer in silence! With the right skincare routine, lifestyle changes, and medical treatments, managing rosacea is absolutely possible—and it doesn’t have to control your life.
