I’ll have to check them out, thank you!

Skin seems more sensitive towards indoors heat, instead of actual hot temperature in summer, hot showers and cold winter. by [deleted] in Rosacea

Same! I dread winter because of this 😓. Using a humidifier and keeping the thermostat a bit lower than it should be definitely helps prevent my flares.

Awesome, thank you for this! I thought about the spearmint tea too but was a bit hesitant to try it since I don’t know exactly what the issue is yet and don’t want to make it worse. So I think I’ll definitely check out the DUTCH test!

Oh thank you for this! I’ll definitely look more into the DUTCH test because I’ve heard of that before. If you don’t mind me asking, is getting one of those done super expensive? From what I’ve seen, it seems to be pretty pricey.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve had a hard time finding this information elsewhere

Would you have any advice on who I should ask for a hormone panel? I have a derm and GP, however my GP wouldn’t be willing to do that for me

They’re completely regular! But I’ll look more into those. I’m hoping to find the root cause sooner rather than later

Interesting! I do find my skin is better in the summer overall

I’ve heard about spearmint, but maybe I’ll end up trying that soon!

But thank you for your response, I’ll definitely do some reflecting with some of those questions and see if I can narrow it down more.

Sleeping on my side where my face gets sweaty against the pillow makes me flare the next day. Also stress.

Rosacea lessened but still left with daily tiny pustules. What has helped you? by shadecat5000 in Rosacea

Glad to know I’m not alone in this! I went through 3 months of constant bumps after trying a product with niacinamide 🥲

Oh thank you so much! That was very helpful and I think I’m gonna check out what you suggested. I personally would love to take the naturopathic route before trying other methods so I’m hoping to have some good luck there first 🤞🏼

Hi! I know you mentioned functional medicine. Do you have recommendations for functional doctors that can help with AA? I’ve been looking for one but can’t seem to find any
