Title: Itching all of a sudden
Post by: Inky on October 30, 2023, 12:00:59 PM

Hi - been on Estradot 75 and Utro and Vagifem for about 3 years - but recently I have noticed that I have become allergic to the patches - itchy and red weals left, also with Evorel. Also really itchy head and patches on eyelids that are also red and itchy. Any ideas on why the sudden onset of this when not previously?
TIA

For me it was a drop in oestrogen levels.  Insteps, scalp, deep in the ears ........ I use ovestin for VA but nothing else, thankfully


When did U last have a review?  As we age our skin may alter so it's possible that you are reacting to the 'gum'?  Has it been changed?
