Dermatologist’s Guide to Intimate Aging Skin Care | Dr. Sam Ellis

Itching, burning, dryness “down there”? You’re not alone. In this dermatologist-led guide, we explain vulvar/vaginal skin changes with age—from perimenopause through postmenopause—and what actually helps: everyday care, OTC options, and when to ask your gyn/derm about prescriptions.

What you’ll learn:

Why estrogen decline affects vaginal dryness and vulvar skin thinning (aka GSM: Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause)
Safe, gentle intimate skin care routines
OTC vs prescription: vaginal estrogen, DHEA (prasterone), ospemifene
