My face is so dry not sure if its the summer allergies or something? Or could it be my (supposedly) normal thyroid tsh

Severely dry skin that fails to respond to home treatment requires professional evaluation to rule out an underlying medical cause, such as hypothyroidism.

It could be your thyroid. It would be a good idea to get a copy of your test results and post them here so we can see if it is optimal as opposed to within the very wide "normal" range.

It could also be other things such as vitamin deficiencies, low iron etc.

My skin is better now that I am getting proper thyroid treatment so it is definitely worth looking into.
