Bizi,
Yes, You might be able to find an mdoc to work more closely with you than the dermatologist is doing.

"There is no research regarding hormones and their effect on rosacea," Dr. Bergfeld said. "However, it has been widely observed that rosacea is often aggravated at menopause and sometimes during mid-cycle." She noted that by treating the underlying hormonal fluctuations, the physician may in effect be treating the rosacea as well.
