Skin problems and your Thyroid???

[Guest guest]

Hello,

QUick follow up - I had blood work done last week 3 weeks after a

left thyroidectomy and all results were normal, not even close to

borderline. Over the last 18m I have had on/off adult acne bouts. It

has gotten really bad the last 4 months, then I finally had it under

control. Now, 4 weeks post surgery, the acne flare ups are starting

up again.

Are skin problems related to thyroid issues? I was diagnosed with

Hashi's 4 years ago. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks!

Hi Diane! A big yes as to skin problems and thyroid disease. I have had

so much trouble especially in the past two or three years with skin rashes,

and they are more than one kind all at once. Now that I am on armour(about 5

weeks)My rashes have been clearing up!

Can you post your results of the bloodwork? What is called normal may not

be normal for you! Symptoms should be a major part of seeing how well your

thyroid activity is.Are you on anything now for thyroid?

Keep us posted, please!
