Menopause and the Onset of Rosacea

Hot flashes can cause some women to experience problems with rosacea, often for the first time in their life.

With rosacea, facial blood vessels dilate too easily, and the increased blood flow near the skin surface makes it appear red and flushed. Various trigger factors -- and menopause hot flashes is one -- can increase this redness response. Acne-like bumps appear. If the condition persists and worsens, scarring can occur.  The condition may require medical intervention to bring it under control.
