Skin getting tanned too early due to hypothyoidism

[rappatils]

Hi,
I have hypothyroidism.... since last 3 years now..... and it's been in control as I am taking ic-levothyroxine 100 mcg .

But since I got hypothyroidism, I started to observe that my skin gets tanned very quickly even in mild sunlight and also with using strong sunscreens which had SPF above 30.

Can any one please answer on, how can I stop my skin's sensitivity to sunlight? and sis any one have this issue already?

Your answers will help.

I am having hypothyroidism since last 30 years. It is our hereditary disease.I have many issues related to hypo, including skin problem. Keep trying to find the solution of the issues related to hypo. I am 87. I have nerve problem as well. I do not foresee any solution. You may replace thyroxine to get proper levels of T4, T3 and TSH. It is an absolute must.Adjust the dosage if the levels deviate from normal range. It is suggested by a web page, try to get an expert who is dealing with thyroid problems. The experienced person can help much better than general endocrinologist.

I have had two stickers on my eutroxsig prescription in the past although the pharmacist hasn't added these stickers on my last few refills.
