Itching and hives on face
« on: February 17, 2021, 07:56:46 AM »

Hi everyone, I’m suffering really badly with itching all over my face and swollen hive like redness and swelling around my eyes.
I haven’t used anything new to cause this and wondered if it was a symptom of peri menopause?
It’s been happening continuously since beginning of Jan and although I don’t want to bother the nhs I feel I have to see a doctor as it’s so painful.
Anyone else suffered with this? Thank you so much in advance.

Hi,my daughter has exactly the same but she's only 30 so not meno in her case,she gets it every year,think it's a combination of the very cold weather we had then the central heating being on,you describe her symptoms to a T she's using a baby cream called Child's Farm moisturiser (unscented) and it's the first one that's taken the itch away,she's tried everything with no success but this one seems to do the trick

I spoke to my doctor this morning and she has prescribed Fexofenadine and a blood test next week. So hopefully it will start to ease the symptoms.
