Hi all, my daughter suffers with this skin condition at the top of her arms, thighs and abit at the top of her back. I've heard before that it's a thyroid thing but never any solutions or advice of what to use on it. She says it's itchier than ever before now.
Hope you've all had a lovely bank holiday weekend! ❤
Vanessa09, Could this be it? skinsight.com/skin-conditio...
It's keratosis Polaris. I've always had it, since childhood. Apparently it's linked to vitamin deficiencies (vitamin A is one of them, I think)
Looks like gluten intolerant/coeliac rash
Look at vitamin b12 level......I had similiar for years but when I went onto b12 jabs it disappeared - I was amazed!
Dear Vanessa09 , I've suffered from many skin conditions in my childhood into adulthood. Not long after learning I have hashimotos I learned of the gluten ( often mostly wheat) and dairy as bad for us. I eliminated both & my skin woes are no more. Perhaps an elimination diet of 21 days would help . Best to you & your daughter 🤗
I had this at the back of my arms at the top. It appeared a couple of years prior to diagnosis and went away completely when I went on thyroid medication. x
I had this I have an under active thyroid and once I stopped eating gluten it went away. My sister had it also no thyroid problems she stopped eating gluten and it went for her also. Worth a try....
Thank you everyone 😀
