Rash

[quiltedhills]

I was on Synthroid for 15 years.  Seven months ago I was taken off.  My antibodies reading is slightly elevated but the TSH is normal. I have three nodules, 3cm, 1 cm and 1 smaller than one cm. The endo mentioned Hashi.  I've colored my hair for many years.  In the past year I switched to semi-permanent coloring (should be more gentle.)  I never had any problem until the last two times I've gotten it colored (within the last six months).  My head has broken out in a terrible itchy rash, and also it's on my forehead, neck and around my ears.  In August it happened for the first time and like an idiot I allowed the stylist try it again.  She thought maybe it was a fluke the first time - it wasn't-this time the rash is worse.  Could it have anything to do with being off of the Synthroid that this could be happening or is it a coincidence?  Any ideas?

Thanks!

It could mean you are falling into hypothyroidism - Have you had blood work recently done to see how you are doing being off medication?

Why did you quit Synthroid? And what are you taking now?

Thanks!

It honestly sounds like a coincidence. Perhaps you are allergic to an ingredient in the hair dye. That's probably why your rash is located all near your head.

I hope you stop itching soon. Just a tip - preparation H worked well the last time i had hives, they stopped the itching and took the swelling down.
