Changes to skin?

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed changes to their skin?

I had a C-section and the scar that formed was a keloid scar, it's not a problem I've ever had before so put it down to the fact that it was a surgical scar. Surgeon for my second c-section 'tidied it up' and that also went keloidy. Again, assumed it was because it was a surgical scar or perhaps sensitive skin.

I haven't worn suncream in a decade, even on holiday I'd put it on in the morning and that would be it and I never burnt.

I started levo in June 2020.

I noticed a few months ago that the keloid scar has started to heal and looks like it will totally heal.

This weekend I have very badly burnt my back.

I feel like these things are connected to levo either directly or indirectly and just wondered if it was something anyone else has noticed?

For years I did not need any cream, but this year I do, my skin has always been quite dry but I did not burn. I am 72 but I do not know if it is anything to do with my under active thyroid.
