Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Hi gang: Many of us girls claim that our rosacea worsens just before our period and assume it's due to the increase/change in hormones. I could be totally wrong, but could it just be because basal body temp increases when you ovulate and stays elevated until you start your period? Or, maybe a combination of both..

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 I don't know but I wouldn't think a few degrees' change would affect rosacea, Patty. But you're right in that a fever is included in lists of triggers that worsen rosacea. I've always thought it was my rosacea that worsens just before my period, but in retrospect I was grouping everything on my face into the grab bag of rosacea. The temporary relative increase in androgens cause a breakout in many women, rosaceans or not, and I think that's all that happens to me. Just a temporary breakout, nothing more.

It is very complicated but basically what happens is the hormone flucuations cause a change in the hypothalamous which plays a part in regulating body temperature. Of course the extreme is hot flashes, but it can also be on a much milder level. I have always felt hotter certain times of the month and my rosacea would get a little worse then. The BC pill always kept me cool, kept my rosacea under control, and when I stopped it I was hot all the time, would sweat easier and my rosacea got really bad because my hormones were all over the place.
