I have very itchy skin around my ankles its driving me mad. I do put cream on them. What can I do?

Itchy skin is one of the common symptoms and can happen anywhere on the body.

Lowering oestrogen can make the skin in general more sensitive anyway so it may be an idea to check what kind of soap/shower gel/body creams you are using in that area and maybe swap it for organic ones.

The majority of washes/soaps etc contain a whole heap of chemicals and that may be contributing to this irritation.

You could try Neem Cream as this is traditionally used to help soothe itchy, irritated skin.

Make sure too that you are drinking plenty of water as dehydration can be a contributory factor.
