Brief Answer:
mostly due to hormonal changes in menopause.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
There are two possibilities in your case.
1. Skin changes due to hormonal imbalance because of perimenopausal age.
2. Skin allergy.
So better to consult gynecologist first and get done hormone study to rule out hormonal imbalance.
If this is normal then consult dermatologist to rule out skin allergy.
You may need antihistamine drug.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
