Hey ladies Ok one symptom of this lovely menopause crap gone and on to the next! I am 53 and been period free (let me tell ya after this past year, give me my damn periods back! I would rather bleed than deal with these awful symptoms) for almost 3 years. Started out like "what is everyone complaining about" then I was slapped with Karma for being so cocky! (lol) Have had it all: Nausea (check) Loss of appetite (check) Peeing a lot (check) Burning vaginal area (check) Hot flashes (check) Mood swings (double check) Tingling fingers (check) I think it's because I am on my laptop for about 10 hours a day for work Bouts of tummy issues (check) Increased tonsil stones (check) NOW I have this very itchy red rash under my boobs and the folds of my legs that comes and goes and seems to spread when I itch it. It goes away with antiseptic powder and/or cream but was wondering if any of you ladies have had this. Also, I need help. I love this forum and all the amazing ladies who make us all feel like we are not losing our minds and alone as even the doctors look at you like you are crazy. One question tho (and maybe admin can help here): When I start a new post, comment on a post or someone responds to me, how do I easily finds this without going through hundreds threads. This forum (unless I am doing something wrong) does not have a very good "search" tab for symptom specific topics. Thanks ladies and if any of you can help with or comment on that rash situation, that would be great. I don't think I am diabetic or hope not so that is what is scaring me right now. With COVID my doctor is not interested in getting me in and is acting like I am wasting his time so I am just winging this until this FLU is over. Anybody?
I have had this before, if its the same as what I had its called intertrigo, not to be confused with impetigo, which is a different thing. MIne was incredibly itchy, and kept spreading. it was very red too. I believe it is sweat related. You need to stop skin touching skin, and keep the area dry. my GP prescribed Trimovate and it eventually got rid of it. Now I always put a little medicated powder under my boobs and luckily its not come back. As I have big boobs and it was difficult to stop skin touching skin so I used cotton lint, which really helped.
