Itchy skin?

[Duece12345]

I waited a bit on asking this one to make sure I wasn’t just being too sensitive to every little thing my body has been doing. After a few months, My skin will not stop itching, specifically my scalp. My eyes are also bloodshot all the time. “Yes dumbass, it’s winter”, is what my wife said! And where there is truth to that, I have never had it this bad. It wakes me up at night. E2 seems to be in 30-40s and I don’t have any sore nips or anything like that. Libido is fine, erections are ok, morning wood,etc. I have consistently struggled with HCT/HGB and bp. Could this be the case??

Thanks lads.

Low estradiol could cause these:

short-term memory issues
- body temperature dysregulation
- dry itchy skin
- apathy/depressed mood

I would also check your thyroid levels.

well I def the memory issues and mood. Thyroid is good, check it regularly. How the heck does E2 get low if I don’t use AI?

Itchy skin is one of the symptoms of having high hematocrit. I get it quite often, especially on my arms.

If you don’t use an AI, it won’t be low.

This is probably what it is. for whatever reason it is my scalp that itches the most.

When my hematocrits are over 50 my itching is off the chart, especially on my head. Taking an antihistamine also helped control it. Once I went to applying T-Cream instead the the shots, this mostly went away. And while on cream my hematocrits consistently stayed at 50 or below.

Low iron, can also be a cause of itchy skin.
