Hi Flossieteacake 🤗.

Thanks very much for replying.

Did you have it in your scalp too? Don't know how to manage scalp scared about hair loss. Did you manage to take HRT to settle the dryness?

Hello Hopeful2🤗

Yes, I had such an itchy scalp. I could not sleep much due to the itching. This was before I know I was menopausal. Dr did not know what to do and just gave me an extra antihistamine. I googled and realised with my other symptoms, it was lack of oestrogen. Once I started with the oestrogen patch the itching stopped.

I totally understand your concerns. I still think it could be worth you starting on the lowest oestrogen patch just to see how you go. This is how I started. I know you need to do what you are comfortable with.

You are welcome. You are right, it is a struggle. I really hope your DR can come up with something that helps you.
