I have been on HRT patches (oestrogen only) since a total abdominal hysterectomy with conservation of ovaries aged 39. I’m now 68 and plan to stay on the patches indefinitely. Over the last 18 months my skin and scalp have become increasingly greasy and my scalp is covered in what I can only describe as teenage acne (none on my face fortunately). It is very sore (scalp lotion hasn’t helped) and my hair has become a greasy mess. Has anyone experienced this and had it treated successfully? I think it must be hormonal but what with Covid, I’ve assumed my GP has more urgent issues to deal with.
