With menopause, changes in hormones (estrogen) can also lead to dry, itchy skin. Keep the area clean and dry. Try to avoid scratching to prevent secondary bacterial infection. Also. try to stop using any product for two or three days to rule out irritation. If it persists, check with your doctor for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
It is a skin disorder affecting the scalp, face, and trunk causing scaly, flaky, itchy, red skin. It particularly affects the sebum-gland rich areas of skin.
Side effects to inflammation may include temporary hair loss. If severe outbreaks are untreated for extended intervals, permanent hair loss may result, because of damage to hair follicles.

I have very bad night sweats (wake up damp), no hot flashes, hair loss, dry skin, anxiety which gets worse before period, dry hair, itchy skin, temp has been running at 97, headaches were bad until I started taking YAZ, allergies which I have never had, etc. Anyone thinking this sounds like peri-menopause? I am 38, my mom says hers started at 35.
DOCTORS.......please quit telling those people with itchy arms that it is anxiety related, or that it can be controlled with behaviour modification. IT CAN'T. IT IS CAUSED FROM SWEAT. I have suffered with this for many years now, and it is mostly aggrevated when I get hot flashes from menopause or in summer. It is from sweating. It is unbearable, and the only thing that works is something that actually cools the skin, whether it be ice or menthol creams or some cooling sunscreen.
Applying a moisturizer and using only soaps that are gentle on the skin is helpful in this case. Menopause is another reason for this. Low estrogens are supposed to be the cause. Try a diet rich in estrogens. Hormone replacement therapy can also help a few.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Not so much a question, more like musing.
I've read through as many of the postings as possible regarding unexplained itching.
As a woman, I have come to believe that the itching is absolutely related to what I am ingesting. I have taken pains to change my diet, and exclude as many processed, GMO and non-organic foods as possible.
It hasnt happened to me during pregnancy but it did when i got on the depo shot, use water based lube, happy encounters ;)!
yes I am a bit overweight and going on a diet My skin does not however hurt when touched and the crawling is under the skin sort of like a burning sensation i have found that witch haze land baby gel oil did help also i am going to be taking milk thistle someone suggested i try that and see if that doesnt help. But thank you for your kind response I will see if weight loss helps.
I'm getting itchy skin where I'm beginning to stretch (14 weeks). I've started putting cocoa butter on right after the shower and that helps, it makes skin more elastic.
The rash started on the back of my neck and started to become so painfully itchy anything that rubs on my neck even clothes irritates me and makes me scratch. Then my scalp became itchy as well but not like the back of my neck. For the past few nights I awake and begin to scratch because it feels like pinching and pain and this need to scratch. It then feels wet and my skin feels rough and dry. I began to use a petroleum like body cream - that only kept my skin moisturized.
