could hyperthyroidism cause skin problems (oily skin, acne, seborrheic dermatitis)?
cmon asked:
im a 23 year old male and have never had skin problems on my face until the past 3-6 months. i’ve gotten fairly bad seb derm on my face and scalp, along with some acne on my face, back, chest, and arms. my skin (epecially my forehead and face) is extremely oily, when i’ve never had oily skin before. i’ve also been feeling fatigued so i got some bloodwork done about 3 months ago. the paperwork got messed up so i didnt get the test results until today, when the doctor told me my throid levels were high. i got more bloodwork and will get the new results soon.

i’m wondering, could the hyperthyroidim be causing the skin problems? i’ve never had skin problems on my face until now. my entire body is also itchy even in spots that look normal.
can a sedentary lifestyle cause skin problems (acne, seborrheic dermatitis)?
cmon asked:
the past 3-4 months due to a new job i’ve been leading a pretty sedentary lifestyle. i stopped exercising around the same time and never get a chance to anymore. i don’t get much sun either because i mostly sit at a desk all day. the past couple months i’ve developed some skin problems on my face, including seborrheic dermatitis, some acne, dry skin, very oily skin/hair (never had oily skin before), etc. i’ve had skin problems throughout my life (eczema on feet, cholinergic urticaria) but for the most part my face has always been clear. this is the most sedentary i’ve been in my life and im wondering if my lifestyle could be a big factor in this. thanks for the help
