A global study of 17 009 women reveals significant skin condition changes associated with irregular menstrual cycles
This international study assesses the impact of menstrual irregularity on skin disorders in women aged between 18 and 55 years across 20 countries. The results reveal that menstrual irregularities are significantly associated with an increase in the prevalence of acne, rosacea, seborrhoeic dermatitis and melasma. The results underline the importance of an integrated, personalized approach to dermatology for women with irregular menstrual cycles.
