Menopause

Just after menopause at 59, my whole face and ears burned and were very red at (room) temperatures that would be comfortable for others.  I couldn’t use topical treatment; it made the burning worse.  I went on estrogen, a very small dose, and after three months my face cleared up and is much less dry – a dramatic improvement.  It has not helped the burning.
