Hello there

I mean, if you're starving badly enough you can sometimes completely stop having your period. So in a post apocalyptic setting that one could be kind of believable.
You can also be so stressed that you have multiple periods in a month! that would suck during the apocolypse.
I wanted to say ah I'll just let my period roll down my pants who cares, but then zombies might smell the blood so
Zombies are not that much of a concern; common house flies would deal those quickly.
What should concern you should be the arise of new predators capable of smelling that blood, like feral dogs.
Aren't old predators also a problem in that regard?
Here's my take: we already know wolves, coyotes, bears, leopards, lions and tigers, along with everyother land carnivore will gladly add a human to the dinner menu of the chance poses itself. In the event of an apocaliptyc event, those would be already accounted for as dangers.
Dogs, I'd risk even domestic pigs, once cut off from human care, would become predatorial. Dogs, even today, can spontaneously form wild packs, capable of predatorial behaviour and aggressive towards humans. Pigs, on the other hand, have a scary capacity to regress and become feral when let loose on the wild; there are records of domestic pigs escaping from farms only to be taken down months or years later by hunters, turned into gigantic animals, covered in thick air and boasting long and sharp, tusk-like, teeth and a very mean and aggressive temper, not like the common wild boar that will actively avoid humans if possible.
These new predator would pose more of a threat than those we already account as such.
The makeup is permanent. She has alopecia. And her father wore that jacket as he was wasting away in the last stages of cancer--everything else swallowed him up.
High stress levels on top of that would also have that effect.
But then they wouldn't look flawless.
