can hormone fluctuations cause a rash
Quick Fact. While a rash can appear anywhere on the body, rashes due to severely dry skin caused by menopause tend to pop up on the forehead, nose, back, neck, chest, arms, or legs. To understand the link between itchy skin rashes and menopause, you need to know about estrogen. Estrogen is the hormone that stimulates the formation of skin-smoothing collagen and oils. That's why, as menopause approaches and estrogen production diminishes, dry, itchy skin and rashes become very common.
