rosacea and hormone replacement - please advise

[Guest guest]

Can hormone replacement therapy (Livial) have any effect on rosacea? That is,

does it cause dilation of the capillaries around the face and eyes? Marjorie,

could you please advise?

Thank you.

I have read that for rosacea, estrogen is okay, but not progesterone. I was

on both and did seem to do better when I reduced the progesterone.
