RE: Anyone have acne when thyroid disease reared it's head????

The same time I went hyper/hypo I developed something similar to cea. I

have been on tetracycline for years to control it.

-- Anyone have acne when thyroid disease

reared it's head????

Anyone out there get pimples along their hairline/scalp, back, and

face (mainly forehead) when their illness started to make it's

presence??? I have had very nice skin until this whole hypothyroid

problem surfaced about 6 months ago (not to say I didn't have

hypothyroidism before, but it got really bad starting 5 or 6 months

ago. I was newly diagnosed in November). My endo (a total jerk) said

it was not from hypothyroidism. So where is it coming from then???

It's so depressing. I have to spend an hour just to cover up the zits

with make-up if I am going out (which is not often). HELP???

Suggestions? Is it related to the hypothyroidism? Thanks!!!

Yup struggled with horrible acne (boils basically) all my adult

life. Hope to get better with thyroid medicine.

I had had boils in uncomfortable places -they cleared considerably

with a

low carb diet but now that i'm hypothyroid again i have had more of

them appear and refuse to heal

I think I've been subclinical hypo just about my whole life. Still get

breakouts and I'm almost 50!

I remember when I first was diagnosed with it, I new a lady who also

had it, she said that she had some sort of allergic reaction, either

to her medicine, or just her body having a reaction to her condition.

She said she broke out on her face really bad, red spots all over,

and her doctor told her to use cortizone creme.

Well a couple of years ago, I started to get these red bumps that

itched really bad, like a bunch of little pimples, on my nose and

upper cheek area. I started using cortaid on it and it totally

controlled it. I have asked doctors if it's ok for me to use

regularly and they have said it should be fine, if anything might

make it a little oily. I have used it every morning on my nose and

cheek area for a couple of years now. If I stop I do start to get the

red itchy bumps again.

So my guess is our skin does react to something that is going on in

our bodies concerning this disease.
