    In a word ... yes. I'm currently treating various patches of dry / rough / itchy patches of skin with hydrocortizone cream. Worst bit is on a finger (which is REALLY itchy 😖), but its also on my chest, neck and wrists. Aveeno cream helps too. I've also found that clear shower gel helps as opposed to a creamy one.

    I have been helped greatly by using perfume free vitamin A cream. I am usually not allergic to perfumes, but of late, the perfume free variety is working best. The best part is, it can be used all over the body with good results.

    I have noticed my skin is drier than it's ever been. After a shower I always put lotion on but there has been several occasions that my legs are itchy.I have used hand lotion like crazy lately too. I don't think I have changed brands so it must be my hormones.

    Hi, I have also developed a eczemea type rash in the last few years, which I treat with hydrocortisone cream, on one of my shins. It disappears for a few week then comes back again. It is only ever on the same leg! Both my index fingers and the side of one hand also has really dry skin which looks a bit like eczema too.

    I am amazed of all the symptoms of peri menopause, I just hope we can all get back to our normal selves one day.
