[rosacea] Re: birth control

I have the same experience.
My skin is always better when I am taking BCPs. When I stop the
pills my skin becomes a mess (red/P&P/oily/dry patches).
So I think naturally my hormone level is not right.

I whish that there was more research on this toppic, because that
would help us ladies a lot.

i've been conducting on myself. if anyone from the group remembers
me i'm one of the people who got pregnant & had great skin & my
rosacea went away. well my baby is now 8 mos old & it had slowly
crept back. i never had pimples b4 just redness. now my face is
pretty broke out, so about 5 mos ago i started taking ortho tri
cyclen. my face cleared up, but ladies you may know one of the side
effects of BC that it can make you a bit crazy at times ha! so i
stopped taking it. the redness & pimples came back. i couldn't stand
it so the next mo. i started taking it again. skin cleared, but i
was worried about being on BC for an extended period of time so i
stopped again. redness & bumps back again! so personally i do relate
my rosacea to hormones. i think the estrogen boost from the BC
clears me up.
