Itchy, Crawly Skin
What is Itchy, Crawly Skin in menopause?
Itchy, crawly skin during menopause is often described as a tingling or crawling sensation, and is sometimes called formication. Women may experience dryness, itching, or the feeling of insects crawling on their skin, even without a visible rash.
Why does Itchy, Crawly Skin happen in menopause?
This sign is caused by a drop in oestrogen levels. This hormonal change makes the skin thinner, drier, and less elastic, leading to increased sensitivity and irritation.
How can Itchy, Crawly Skin in menopause be managed?
To relieve discomfort, it's helpful to use fragrance-free, hydrating moisturisers, take lukewarm showers, and avoid harsh soaps. Wearing breathable fabrics and staying well-hydrated can also support skin health. Natural remedies like oatmeal baths or aloe vera may soothe irritation. M-Club's Replenishing Body Lotion is ideal for restoring and hydrating your skin.
