Strange skin problem

In Dec. i had thyroidectomy and went through the RAI treatment.  I feel I am doing fine, weight gain  is coming off slowly and I am due for blood work and my first 6 mo. endo appt. in Oct.

However, I keep having patches appear on my skin of rough, dry, skin.  It does not flake off but also does not go away. Anyone had this experience?

I found after RAI that I had very dry skin...especially the legs.
I would say that maybe you need an increase in your T4 med as it is a sign of Hypo.
Any other symptoms?
