Hot Flash rash??
| Mon, 11-17-2003 - 1:48pm |
I have been enjoying (!!) mild hot flashes this summer and fall (just turned 51). The skin on my chest has become itchy with small bumps--reminds me of a heat rash. A visit to a dermatologist (sp?) was futile--I think my insurance needs to review his license! After using a $104 cream (Carac) for sun damaged skin the bumps and itching have returned. When I mentioned a possible correlation to the hot flashes he just gave me the deer in the headlights stare. Oh, he did make his skin damage assertation from 4 feet across the room.
I have done a lot of research at the library and on line but nowhere do I see mention of the heat rash (?) and hot flashes. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
I have not changed any laundry soaps, soaps, herbal/vitamins, etc. Otherwise I am blessed with excellent health. Not taking any prescription drugs, etc. I just started taking a low dose of Black Cohosh but the rash was here prior to that. No sun, no tanning beds either. (the Carac treatment cured me of that! ouch!)
Thank you for your time to read this....any and all thoughts are welcome!!
Respectfully,
Peggy
