Hello, I have been on HRT for almost a year now but having problems with skin sensitivity from patches and gel. The skin irritation keeps me awake at nights despite Piriton. I have tried Femseven, Evorel, Estraderm and now on Estradot alternating with Oestrogel as I am unable to wear a patch for more than a day without skin irritation. I am feeling desperate as I don't know where to go from here. I had hoped the gel would be the answer, but clearly I am allergic to anything applied to the skin. Has anyone else experienced this and managed to find a form of HRT that doesn't irritate? An implant has been mentioned. Thank you.
