Hi.
Yes allergies can contribute, but it is only a mild contribution. But what is more likely to contribute is a hormonal imbalance that can result from the menopause or pre-menopause you are experiencing. I would recommend a check on your hormone levels and a correction if there seems to be an imbalance which is most likely.
Best wishes.
