Post by: Hopeful2 on September 30, 2022, 10:57:52 AM

Hi ladies.

Looking for some advice please. Ive been on utrogestan & oestrogel for a week and have got 2 big bite like spots one on my inner thigh and one on my breast is this normal on starting HRT. Should I continue?

Thank you for your help.

Are you sure they are not actual bites? Still lots of insects around. Allergy usually gives a more overall rash - either a fine rash or welts.  :-\

Bites everywhere in this house hold.  Do the ones you have itch?  I've found that mine become irritated 3-4 days after the initial bite!  Antisan is great for easing the symptoms.

Thank you very much for your replies. No this happened last time too that's why I stopped it, but thought I would try and continue this time as it might just be a side effect at the start of hrt and that I might not keep getting them. Bit worried about the one on my breast but i suppose they will go down eventually. Last time I just got them on my legs.  I'm so desperate to stay on hrt

Get yourself to a Pharmacist and ask an opinion?  Don't stop though, or mayB send an e-mail to the company who made the product and ask?  Then let us know.
