Weird new perimenopause symptom-burning scalp

Posted , 3 users are following.

I've been going through peri menopause about 4 years now and have experienced dozens of odd symptoms.

The latest is a sore/burning area on my scalp. It came on suddenly last night when I was walking the dog. I felt an urgent and severe need to itch. Today it's sore and feels sunburned almost.

Anyone else have this happen?

Is it stress? Perimenopause? Anxiety?

I hate it.

      It's driving me crazy and makes me so anxious.

      How long does it last when you get it? Do you do anything to alleviate it?
