Welcome to the forum

Could be dry scalp, psoriasis or thyroid levels not optimal, or gluten intolerance

What are your most recent thyroid and vitamin results, are you on gluten free diet

I now have permanent under active thyroid due to radioiodine treatment. I have mild itching all over my body though I’m not sure if it’s just the thyroid responsible

I am SO itchy especially my scalp, hair falling out like crazy, hairdresser mentioned back in 2006 that he had not seen any new hair growth on my scalp, just the length grew. I have had a spot on my back that is one of the worst places, but I am sure I have made many people uncomfortable because I can't stop scratching my scalp. I have tried all different kinds of shampoo, expensive all natural, no Sulphur, no this and no that, nothing helps and all I know is it is getting worse and worse. Since moving to France 5 years ago the docs here have done nothing but lower my thyroid meds and of course I had to give up NDT as they do not sell it here - I take Euthyral which is a synthetic T4/T3 combo but they never like my numbers after blood tests. Plus I have a pituitary tumor which makes my tsh test come out at .001 which really throws them into a frenzy. But years ago I read that people with hypo and Hashi's often have itchy spots in certain places - no idea why though,.
