I have suffered for years (since around the start of my menopause) with dry, sore and itchy split skin around my vulva. It has been diagnosed as dermatitis and I use emollients and hydrocortisone ointments to try and control it. I was also dry and sore internally but this was helped immensely by oestrogen pessaries, however the consultant felt that my vulval skin problem was a separate issue which was not connected to menopause.
I wondered if anyone else has had vulval dermatitis and whether HRT helped it?
