Ep. 18: Eczema & Hormones: How Imbalances Trigger Flares (and What to Do About It)
Description
Do your eczema flares get worse before your period, during stressful seasons, or after having a baby? 👀
 If so, your hormones may be the hidden trigger.
In this episode of Live with The Eczema Doc, Dr. Fong breaks down how hormonal imbalances—from estrogen dominance to high cortisol, thyroid shifts, and even testosterone changes—can directly impact your skin barrier, inflammation levels, and healing process.
You’ll learn:
- Why period flares often mean estrogen and progesterone are out of balance
- How stress hormones like cortisol flip from calming to inflaming the skin
- The surprising thyroid–eczema connection most doctors overlook
- Why both men and women need to check hormones when eczema won’t budge
- The right tests (and timing!) to uncover hidden imbalances
- Practical steps to support hormone balance while you heal your skin
