eczema and hypothyroid connection

[asantemingi]

Between 1985 and 1988 had eczema oozing eczema on my fingers on and off. Am a lab. tech and it was embarrassing.

GP treated with steroid cream. Used to feel irritable and tired. The skin specialist did the same The Eczema kept on coming back with more infection..BUT did not send me for TSH.

Did my own TSH in 1975 my TSH was 20.

Am now on Eltroxin 100 micron. Am a lot active and not sleepy and tired anymore.No more Eczema happened. Totally free

My TSH is below 5 always.

SAD that skin specialists are unaware

It's sad that dermatologist can't treat skin diseases better. I have psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis and no thyroid.
