Menstrual eczema: You may be experiencing menstrual induced eczema. This is thought to be due to the falling levels of Progesterone before a menstrual cycle. Treatment includes the usual steroid cream for eczema but also can be helped by controlling the Progesterone levels with continuous birth control pill use. Discuss the options with a dermatologist and obgyn
