Thank you for this podcast on rosacea. I have similar experiences as Joy mentioned, such as clear skin most of my life until my late 30s. Now, I’m 42 and just realized recently that it’s definitely rosacea and not just a temporary hormone issue like I was hoping for. It’s nice to know I’m not alone with this ailment and can relate to women in their 40s who are also dealing with this.
