Patch Of Dry Skin, Discolored, Post Menopausal, High BP, High Cholesterol, Extreme Stress, Husband Died Of Brain Tumor, Self Employed
I have a patch of dry skin that has started in the last two weeks to discolor (turning dark). I am post menopausal for a year or so, have high blood pressure an slightly high cholesterol (both managed by medications). I have been under extreme stress as I spent the last year looking after my husband who died two months ago of a brain tumor and have, of neccesity, been self-employed for four years because no one will hire me at my age.
For menopausal problems you should change your diet having lots of soy products
Apply sun screen cream SPF 25 on the area of darker skin
For dryness you can use oestrogen creams locally on thighs and shoulders , not on the breast area
Take care
Best wishes
