Hi all, I’m in peri menopause and despite being on hrt and prescribed anti histamines I am crazy itchy at night, particularly my legs. I often have to get up to bathe/shower/shave my legs in the night to soothe them. I’ve tried e46, aveeno, CeraVe etc. Has anyone else had this and has anything successfully worked? Thanks x

I got an aloe Vera anti itch gel from somewhere. It sounds like it would be useful for you at night..it cools and calms and should give you a chance to get to sleep.

Anything aloe vera with a bonus hydrocortisone is worth a shot.

The itching can mean your oestrogen isn't high enough though. Collagen isn't as it was so the skin makes it's feelings known. Might be worth a review.

Fexofenadine, I use up to 4 a day for histamine reactions.
