Will my varicose veins worsen or my broken blood vessels on my face get worse with the use of progesterone?

Reports from women suggest the opposite. Women who reported a reddening of the face later described as fine, broken capillaries were able to restore or halt progression with the use of progesterone.

Providing you do not have Chloasma (a dark and blotchy brown facial pigmentation which is also known as the ‘pregnancy butterfly mask’) or severe acne with open sores, then we suggest you can apply progesterone to the face once a week sparingly.

We had a situation where a lady with Chloasma (who wasn’t pregnant) actually experience a flare up and the existing pigmentation darkened after administering generous amounts of progesterone to her face on a regular basis. This lady failed to understand that her cream should not be used so liberally.

We pointed out that progesterone cream is not a moisturiser as such, but rather a steroid hormone that can disrupt the endocrine system, therefore, it ought to be given due ‘respect’.
