Loose hanging skin on body

Hi everyone, Can I ask please - does anyone get a problem with their skin becoming loose with thyroid meds - I look like the Michelin Man some days - does anyone else experience this and know what causes it. I am on steroids by the way but it isn't that - they seem to help - it is a collagen issue but not sure how to get round it. The more thyroid hormone I take the worse it gets.
