Hi all,
I am perimenopausal, so I only have to
wait another few months then a year will
have gone by and I can safely say I am a
fully fledged member of the MENOPAUSAL
gang - oh yippie. But since January this
year (2007) I was diagnosed as having acne
rosacea. This is quite a blow as I have
always had lovely skin on my face. (I
have eczema also). Can anyone tell me if
these two symptoms are connected ??

Acne Rosacea and Menopause are not
generally related. Usually acne rosacea
is caused by what you put into your mouth,
not from your hormons.
Heres some hints to help treat the acne
rosacea:
WITH ACNE ROSACEA DON'T:
-Use alchololic skin products as they dry
the skin out (you want to moiterise it) be
careful most acne products contain
products that dry out the skin. So watch
out for retinoid, salicylic acid, alcohol
and benzoyl peroxide.
-Exfoliate TOO HARD or TOO OFTEN (this can
often make it worse)
-Eliminate oily fried foods, ALCOHOL,
SPICY FOODS.
WITH ACNE ROSACEA DO:
-Use skin products that contain
anti-inflammatory properties such as ALOE
VERA, ROSE HIP OIL, GLYCERIN, MANUKA HONEY
or COCONUT ingredients.
-Use antiseptic products to kill and
destroy the infections
-Use a gentle fine exfoliant and LIGHTLY
exfoliate each day.
-DRINK lots and lots of WATER to keep your
body and rosacea hydrated.
-Use natural medication to combat the
symptoms from the inside such as a
teenager multivitamin.
-detoxify your body regularly using herbal
detox kits, juicing and using a steam
room.
-Eat a diet full of antioxidants including
a good supplement.
-Have plenty of superfoods or phytofoods
(highly potent nutritios powder foods).
-To treat scars use a natural scar
reducing cream
Good luck with it

read about the fungus factor by Doug
Kauffman... it seems that alot of our
medical problems could be linked to
different kinds of fungus\yeast etc...
check it out it might be something. his
book is called "The fungus link". He
seems to think that rosacea is linked to
the food we eat.
my mom works for a dermatologist and she
says that you can only treat this with a
topical but this dude disagrees. hope
this will help!
