My noise is red also and my face is dry and flaky daily too I do have moisturiser but not working .... it red and sensitive to the touch!!! It's also on the opposite side of my face also!!! I hate norethisterone as I feel it that's what's caused this

From what I understand, when coming off progesterone it causes your hormones to snap back to their normal levels. Unfortunately it can cause you skin to temporarily start producing more oil, triggering acne.

Most advice seems to say it can take approx 6 months to completely return back to normal.

Your GP may be able to suggest something to help in the mean time, or perhaps refer you to a dermatologist, if it is causing you a lot of issues.
