Itchy skin

Has anyone got a solution for itchy skin associated with hormone fluctuation. My arms particularly my left arm is itchy/prickly constantly. I do have other peri symptoms but this is an odd one?? Moisturizing hasn't helped at all.

I was terribly itchy for a year...every where!  But especially my calves and breasts.  Putting a cup or two of vinegar in my bathwater and soaking brought relief, and so did putting oatmeal in a sock and having bath with that as a washcloth.  It gets really gooey and you wash your itches away with the goo.  Don't rinse.  

Hopefully one of those helps you

 

You can bathe with chamomile water, or you can take an anti-histamine. But finding the right antihistamine is going to going to take a bit of trial and error.  I ended up removing scented detergent and scented soap from my life. 

Thank you for your tips.

I have itchy skin all over, my arms being the worst and prickly as you've described it drives me nuts at times, I take antihistimine when its really bad and use olive oil after a shower and before bed, although greasy until it sinks in it has helped with mine, also eat oily fish and wholegrain nuts a few times a week im sure this has helped me x

Thanks Lisa. I'll try the Olive oil tonight. Soothing to know we aren't alone with these weird symptoms 🎀

They are strange will be glad when its done x

I'm trying the oatmeal tonight.....it can only improve. Thank you
