Yes I have experienced this as well. HRT has fixed this issue.

Hi. Yes I had this chronically in my mid-late 40's had no idea about peri-menopause then (I'm now 57) I just thought it was because it was winter and my skin was dry! I used to exfoliate regularly and use body cream and it did stop actually after my periods stopped. There are a lot of good creams you can buy OTC I think if it's very bad.

Yes, HRT made my skin much less itchy and dry. I didn't really realise how bad it was until it was gone.

Yes I get this, I am on Hrt and it is begining to calm down.

Hi thanks so much for all your reply’s it’s calmed down today but obvs still itchy but not as bad xxx

Hi girl, I’m in a state with my itch. I hope you’ve got relief in some form? I’ve heard Aveeno Oat is a good product for irritated skin. My skin is broken as scratching has cut my arms. I’m also on HRT for last few years. Let me know what works for you x

Yes, eyes, mouth, skins became drier and drier from the age of 45 to the point that I’m now 51 going to 52, not menopaused yet but it’s calming down a little.
