I am also having problems with my scalp getting bumps all over that turn to sores. I've been putting scalpitan on my head and that seems to help. I also have really dry skin and REALLY REALLY dry feet. I can put lotion on me feet every night and still get cracks in my heals.. I, too, never had any of these problems before my thyroid went wacky.
Hello,
I too have had problems with various rashes off and on since right before I was diagnosed with Graves (a bad rash on my hands is what sent me to the doctor in the first place - not the heart palps or the brain fog or the hands shaking).
I asked my endo about this last spring at my checkup, he didn't seem to think one had anything to do with the other.
However, I really think one DOES have to do with the other, but I haven't seen anything to prove it. I never had skin problems before my thyroid went all whacky. Now I seem to have problems regularly with a variety of skin problems.
Maybe a call to the endo's office with your question would save you a doctor's visit, or they might want to see it. Just because mine wasn't very impressed doesn't mean your doctor might not want to take a look.
