Title: Menopause and eczema
Post by: Eejaytee on July 02, 2017, 04:44:30 AM

Good morning ladies and thank you for the add to the Site. I am 60 and have found that since the end of menopause my eczema has been relentless. I had moderate eczema before which came and went. For these past four years it has never gone away and has become very severe. I wondered if there was a link to hormones and has anyone else suffered in this way?  :(

 Never had eczema until the menopause  :(
It's not very bad luckily. E45 cream seems to work at the moment.

My dermatitis got a whole lot worse and skin is generally more sensitive now.

I've developed sebborheic (sp?) dermatitis since meno, it's calmed right down but I try to keep my skin hydrated which helps
