I have really itchy skin on my neck and it's caused a rash. I'm not sure if it's fibromyalgia or menopause. I know no one is a doctor, but have you experienced anything like this?

Members connected over the question of itchy skin and rashes, sharing that both fibromyalgia and menopause can contribute to dryness and itching, with one member noting a doctor diagnosed their neck rash as atopic dermatitis. Several members offered helpful remedies including aloe vera gel, cool compresses, hydrocortisone cream, CBD and THC cream, lavender-based natural soaps, and anti-itch cortisone cream. A recurring theme was finding comfort in trying affordable, accessible options and encouraging each other to bring up persistent rashes with their doctors.

Laura, have you ever tried Aloe ? I have used it-the aloe jell, that we all use for sunburn. It’s inexpensive-if it doesn’t help, you’re not out a bunch of money. Just a thought.

I have dermol but it just won't work. But my daughters cream has hydrocortisone in it so it's working. I'm happy because it looked so red and angry lol. Xxx
