Skin Problems due to Hyperthyroidism?
lissa cervantes asked:
Hi,
I’ve been diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism about 2 years ago, I have developed what it seems to be an allergy to sun after a few hours of exposure, I get a severe itch and rash, is this due to my hyperthyroidism? I took radioactive Iodine a month ago but still having skin problems, any idea?

the rash is no due to your hyperthyroidism. its due to the drugs you are using to treat your disease. this is especially true if you were just recently treated greenmay
My Mum suffers from Hyperthyroidism and does not have skin problems. Everyone is different though and so symptoms are always different for different people. It could be your medication causing it rather than your illness though. Missy Em
