I found on a quick perusal of a lupus like reaction reported

from an AI. Your itchy skin without rash did not seem to match that, so I felt no reason to worry you. If I find more I will certainly bring them to your attention. I think half the problem is that skin is an organ that estrogen affects greatly and estrogen deprivation takes its toll on skin thickness, moisture, etc.

I have previously voiced my concern that a lot of the creams used to replace the moisture, heel the cracks etc contain parabens, which have been reported to have estrogen-like properties and get absorbed,perhaps negating one of the main reason AIs are taken.
