Menopause rash? Anyone else?
I have started having a bumpy raised rash on my arms, I have no idea what it is as I have used nothing new, is this a symptom of menopause? Anyone else experience this?

This is new to me. Sounds rough. 🙁 Any new cosmetics? Did you try allergy testing? Are you a vegan? I've heard that Vit A deficiency can cause bumping on the back of the arms… so maybe try upping those carrots? Or cod liver oil if you're brave! 0 -
No nothing! Oh never thought of allergy testing have to look into this. Certainly not vegan...love a steak LOL. Will certainly up the carrots as i LOVE them and try the cod liver oil! Not brave but willing to try anything as these are making me self-conscious! Thanks! 0 -
That sounds worth bringing up with your clinician on your next appointment. I haven’t had that happen. Is it painful or itchy at all? Make sure not to use any perfumed skin care products or soaps on that area until you see a doc. 0 -
Yes I agree! Book an appointment with your primary care clinician to get it checked out :) 0 -
I haven’t had this rash, but I know menopause can cause skin problems like dryness and rashes. Maybe try moisturizing more and see if it helps? 0 -
Bet you it is the “M” word! Can’t leave any part of us alone! 0 -
Could it be something else like an allergic reaction? Maybe something environmental? 0 -
Yes! But I have it on my bottom! 🙁 TMI? 0 -

I’ve never had this kind of rash, but my skin has definitely changed with menopause. Anyone else have wings everytime they wave?! 0 -
Oh yes, I had something similar, tiny bumps on my arms! You’re definitely not alone….dont know if that is comforting! LOL 0 -

Hmm, I haven’t noticed anything like that myself, but maybe it's worth seeing a dermatologist just to be sure? 0 -
I’m going through menopause, but I haven’t had any skin changes. Could it be something else like an allergic reaction? Maybe something environmental? 0 -
Yes! My arms started getting bumpy too! It’s so frustrating. I found that using gentle exfoliants and hydrating lotions has really helped. 0 -
Same here—small bumps that come and go. I read somewhere that our skin gets more sensitive during menopause. Ask on your next appointment. 0 -
I haven’t had this happen, but my sister did, and it turned out to be hormone-related. She used a cortisone cream, and it helped a lot! 0 -
Not sure if it’s menopause, but I have noticed more skin sensitivity as I age. It might be good to switch to hypoallergenic products just in case! 0
