Title: Red spotty dry rash
Post by: Flamingo on May 16, 2021, 10:06:01 AM

Since starting Estradot patches increasing from 25 to 75 in 3 months I’ve developed a dry spotty red rash all over my body but particularly bad on my back and back of legs.  Anyone else experienced this side effect from HRT.  My ears are now squeaky too and my feet seem very sensitive now too!  It has helped all other Meno symptoms though so is very frustrating :( I was taking utrogestan vaginally but have swooped back to oral hoping that might help with dryness?

Sounds like an allergic reaction to me. I would stop taking it and ask your doc for something else. I got a rash from evorel changes but it was around the patch not all over. Changed to gel and have no problem with it.
