What to do with menopausal skin allergies

When women enter menopause, the first thing they should do is to maintain an absolutely good mood so that the mood of menopause will not infect their own emotions. During the menopause process, female friends also have to face many abnormal reactions in the body, the most obvious of which is amenorrhea. Amenorrhea is mainly a physiological phenomenon caused by insufficient secretion of estrogen in the body, so when amenorrhea occurs, it will also accelerate aging. But what solutions are there for menopausal women who find themselves experiencing itchy skin?

First of all, we should start by developing good living habits and doing physical exercises within our ability to promote blood circulation and increase nutrition for the skin. Do not take a bath with water that is too hot. Reduce the number of baths in the dry season to reduce the degree of dryness of the skin due to loss of sebum. Use moisturizer immediately after bathing to protect the skin.

Eat more high-protein, low-fat foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, regularly consume some coarse grains, soy products, and supplement the body with vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and various trace elements to keep the skin shiny and moisturized. At the same time, proper drinking of water and adequate sleep also play an important role in skin care.

When your skin is itchy, do not use topical ointments containing hormones at will, because hormone drugs may be very effective when they are first used, but long-term use may cause skin abnormalities at the application site, such as secondary infection, folliculitis, capillary dilation, hormonal dermatitis, skin atrophy, pigmentation and other side effects. Women may also experience serious reactions such as increased hair growth.

In addition, the use of hormonal drugs can easily lead to dependence or drug resistance, and may also cause allergies, causing the affected skin to become dry, rough, scaly, and even have shallow cracks.

Therefore, if the skin only has mild local itching, you should use some hormone-free and moisturizing topical medications; if the itching is more severe and there is an obvious rash, or if the skin has redness, swelling, ulcers, exudation and other skin lesions, do not choose medication for treatment without authorization. It is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.
