Could be perimenopause skin so itchy !

[NOTSUREWHATIMDOINHERE]

Hello

I will be 40 soon, hormones always seemed a bit all over, diagnosed pcos years ago sorted that issue with diet.

I now have some symptoms like more regular but lighter periods, had some hair loss few months ago, my skin , especially my face, jaw and neck , and hands , is so so itchy. Has anyone else had this symptom? Its a bit red a blotchy too.

Also brain fog and fatigue.

I have used the same make up and cream for a while with no issues the itching is all day and night, with or without the makeup on. So not sure if it's now reacting or it's coming from within.

Is there any advice please?

Yes, and it's a classic peri-menopause issue. I was on HRT by the time I was 41 and it was an absolute life saver. I highly recommend you go to a private clinic to get proper help. Your heart health and bone health will thank you for it.

Get a full blood test done
Thyroid etc
Some clinics have a menopause profile thing - all sorts of tests

Too young to lose hair - iron, follate, ferratin deficiency maybe

Check vit d levels too

That was my first peri symptom. Bloody itching, drove me insane!

Thanks everyone, I will look into the blood tests and things.

Ugh yes totally the same ! How long did it last for you?

On and off till I started hrt. Awful.
