Spots and Levothyroxine....

[beligo]

Hi - really hoping someone can give some advice.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in February and have been taking 50mg of levothyroxine since the end of February. The last 2 weeks I am waking up with 5-10 new spots every morning. I previously had very clear skin.

I know this isn't really the end of the world but it's still starting to get to me as my skin was probably the one thing that I didn't previously have to worry about!

Has anyone else had spots on levothyroxine and/or is it more to do with getting the dose right?

One thing that is confusing me slightly is that the spots only started a couple of weeks ago whereas I started the tablets months ago. Can it be the drug/thyroid?

Thanks!

Hi

I know the problem I wrote about it here

Mine have got a bit better so hopefully yours will do too.

Thanks! did yours get better while you were still on levothyroxine?

I feel as though I've turned back into a teenager...

Yes it seems to have cleared up a lot, still on levo so maybe it is just whilst your body is adjusting to the new medication.
