Itchy skin & prolonged menses

I'm writing on my sister's behalf who is 45 years old with brown eyes and black hair, with mascular built. She is experiencing itchy, dry, red, and scally nose, dry lips, and breakout on her her face, skull, and chest with small white pimples. She itches mostly when the weather is damp. Especially bothersome is the itch of the nose and armpits.
Her vagina lips also itch, usually at night when wet.

She is also experiencing prolong and heavy menses. She often feels depressed, irritated, feels guilty, and worry about the future.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I forgot to mention that she is taking carbonicum calcarea 30C, 1 pellet a day, for 2 weeks with little improvement.

Thank you very much!

My sister while taking sepia reported to be very sleepy that day. Just wanted to check to see if that is a normal reaction.

Thanks!

This is normal. There is nothing to worry.

Reporting back. My sister's last period finally was normal after a long time. She is not sure if it's due to the remedy or the procedure she had done on her. She still feels itchy, depressed and aggrevated, though. Thanks!
