Do your fish scale lines worsen during menstruation? Don't panic, this is your skin "reminding" you
Many women with ichthyosis experience this: the fish scale lines become noticeably darker during menstruation, then gradually fade afterward. This is actually a very common and normal physiological phenomenon.
Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation slow blood circulation, causing metabolic waste to accumulate in the skin, making the fish scale lines appear more pronounced. This is often accompanied by mood swings and irregular periods.
Many patients are troubled by this cyclical worsening of fish scale lines year-round and don't know how to treat it. Zhangjian Therapy, with its dual patented formula from China and the US, combines fumigation to improve skin circulation and eliminate accumulated waste, with a dedicated fading phytagel product to fade the fish scale lines. Many patients have experienced a significant reduction in the deepening of fish scale lines during menstruation after treatment, and no longer feel anxious about their skin condition during their periods.
