Menopausal skin

2 replies

I’m well in the grip of peri menopause at 52. Periods are going wild and I’ve currently been taking the mini pill to get them under control, after a 4 month long bleed. My skin is awful. I’m spotty around my mouth, the sides of my nose are red and scabby and I’ve got spots on my cheeks, I’ve never had any issues with my skin and have never really had a skin care routine. Think it’s come to bite me now though.
Does anyone else have this? Or any ideas what I can do to help with it? I’m giving Rudolph a run for his money at the moment.
Thanks

Are you on HRT? It helped my skin (which was horribly itchy) and my sleep.

No HRT yet. I’ve just had some gynae investigations and they wanted to test thickened womb lining before they’d prescribe anything. That’s all clear so now I do need to get back to the GP I think. My sleep is shocking as well.
