The common causes of flashes are Fever, hyperthermia, Menopause, Emotional blushing and Rosacea.
Menopausal flushing is commonly seen in women of age more than 45 years and uncommon in younger women unless there is a considerable estrogen deficiency which is associated with episodic sensations of heat, intense sweating, and flushing. In such cases hormonal replacement therapy will help to relieve the symptoms even psychological manifestations.

I'm not sure about RT3, since I just recently had that test done and don't know very much about it yet. I also get acne as a result of my thyroid issues (as it messes with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels). The bloating and intestinal issues definitely could be related. I recently had a colonoscopy and the biopsy of my small intestine was "abnormal probably due to celiac disease". However, blood tests came back negative for celiac.
The only medicine I take is Minocycline twice a week for a skin reddening condition called Rosacea. I take vitamins. Thanks for any imput!
Hello,
I can understand your concern for these symptoms, but increased thinning and fragility of skin, skin rosacea, atrophy and tachyphylaxis are frequent side effects of topical steroids. For these side effects, wait and watch is the treatment available as it may take ample of time to get better. There is no topical treatment as such which can counter these side effects.
Now my dermatologist automatically said it was Rosacea, which if you read about Rosacea these are listed as triggers to it, but my hives occur mostly on my neck closest to my jaw line but spread to my chin and lower cheeks and to my chest. It can take several weeks to go away as long as I avoid my trigger foods.
The first symptom I noticed was the profuse sweating of my face, neck, chest and sometimes back. The redness is in my face and I also have rosacea so I can tell where that is and where the abnormal redness is. I also have redness on my arms and it looks like I am sunburned. Trust me, I live in Oregon, I am not sunburned!
Plus I am also treated for acid reflux, asthma, osteoporosis, depression, myoclonus, high homocysteine, allergies, hypothryroidism, low estrogen, bletharitis, rosacea, scalp problems, and on and on. Also I have stroke weakness on my right side causing terrible falls, plus kidney failure from the CT scans after my stroke. And sometimes my words come out wrong or I can't find the right word to say from my stroke aphasia.
There is a connection between Vitamin D levels, estrogen and pituitary issues, including hypopituitarism (I'm too lazy to look up the spelling right now). From what I have read and I'm going off memory right now, estradiol and vitamin D either work together or are put to use by the same receptors or transmitters. Growth hormone is a factor in this as well. My levels of growth hormone are mildly elevated with my vitamin D being 11.
I have struggled with chronic stomach pain and constipation, restless leg syndrome, vulvodynia and asthma since early childhood. Rosacea, severe depression and anxiety, fatigue, brain fog (derealization/depersonalization), hypothyroidism, facial pain, and sporadic but managable muscle pain since early /mid teens.
