Sensitive to Heat and Sun

Posted , 10 users are following.

Hello Ladies,

I am wondering if any women out there in Perimenopause/Menopause are experiencing sensitivities to Heat and The Sun. I never got rashes before out in the sun until now. If I wear black pants it holds in the heat and causes rashes and hives. If I don't wear black in the sun I am somewhat fine. When I take a shower my skin turns red as soon as heat touches it...really crazy. Please let me know ladies if you are experiencing this at all... My anxiety is through the roof. But Dr. said I am not in Menopause....but I believe I am in Perimenopause...Thank You Ladies😊

    Hi Shana, first of all Im like a strawberry blond naturally and I have red head skin and I am always kinda red,,, I also live in az and it is hot,, since peri if I go outside in the heat I turn bright red and It stays that way for a long time after I come in. All over my chest on the top part of my back and face every part that sees the sun,,, I have hashimotos so I thought for sure I was getting another autoimmune disease but that is the only symptom thank goodness,,, this had scard the crap out of me but I just think everything is so over sensitive just wondering if it will ever go away and I can go outside and do my garden again it really makes me sad... hugsxxx
