Is the rash just on your neck Geegee777? Have you changed face cream/shampoo/bath products at all? When did you last check your thyroid levels/ key vitamins?

[Geegee777 in reply to Buddy195]

Hi, everything is the same as in soap and care products. My ladt post showed recent bloods. Vit d ok and b12. But folate and ferritin have to be redone due to fault on blue horizon side.

Did the rash appear after the blood test/ when you’ve increased your Levo dose?

Ask a pharmacist. They may be able to suggest something to help

It looks like contact dermatitis - but you need to get a rash diagnosed and treated by a GP. You might need allergy testing (though in my area there are big waits for that at the mo).

You may have a condition called 'Vitiligo.

Your rash looks a lot like the rash Ive been dealing with on and off since having thyroid removed…. Does it itch?

[Geegee777 in reply to Batty1]

No it doesn't itch. Im going to my gp incase a topical cream may sort it

[Batty1 in reply to Geegee777]

That’s good… it could be hives

I'm just back from the GP about a very similar rash on my neck, but mine has gone to abdomen now. Also not itchy, but just comes and goes. They think it is hives and have given me some strong antihistamines to try.

Hi Geegee777

Could it be a reaction to the excipients/fillers in the levo?

I react the same way to corn maize, which is a filler for most (all?) levo brands.

That's why I have mine compounded with sugar filler.

Hope you find a solution.
