Dry skin, particularly eyelids

I seem to have hurtled into perimenopause in the last 6 months or so and I'm reading everything I can before I head to the GP to chat about hrt.

Along with the mood swings, forgetfulness and sweats I've noticed that my normally greasy skin has became dry and in particular my eyelids feel very dry and itchy. By 8 o'clock at night I could cheerfully scratch them off they are so itchy. I've tried e45 and Simple eye cream but neither have had much effect. Anyone had similar and can recommend something to stop the itch. It's driving me crazy......and if you can sort my feet out too that would be great! Where the hell did dry eyelids and feet come from?!

Might be eczema. Have a look at the Eucerin range in Boots for something and if it doesn't work, see your GP.
