Skin reaction

Hi everyone, the last few times that ive had my period I've had really bad reactions on my hands, once my period has stopped, I just seem to have to help my skin heal with hand cream and then it's fine until the next time I get my period. Has anyone else had this, my gyne suspects I have endometriosis I'm still awaiting a laparoscopy to find out for sure. Is it a strange side effect of this or something? I definitely seems to be hormone related. I hope you can help I feel very alone as don't have anyone that I can talk to that actually suffers from this condition so no one really understands how I feel. Thanks in advance ☺️

This may be autoimmune progesterone allergy. Progesterone is predominant at the time of your period.

YesI get bad eczema on one hand it starts 19 day before my period gets much worse around my cycle unfortunately creams don’t help I have found dairy makes it worse xx

The creams only help to eventually heal the dry skin but don't actually make the reaction go away. The dairy point is very interesting, I'm a lover of cheese so may have a look at a diet Change
