neck rash with thyroxine meds

[thewendywoo]

I had surgery on my thyroide and the left side was removed in 2009.  I have been on levotyroxine since then starting on 25 mgs then going up to 125mg, regualr blood tests and now on 100 mg I also take selenium and iodine (sea kelp) to help with energy levels.  I have had for the last year on an off an acne like skin rash on my neck both sides and on the jaw line.  It comes and goes can be itchy and red and makes my skin feel rough even when its not visible.  Does anyone else have these experiences and are there any cures or creams or is that the way it is now as I can not stop taking the thyroide medication and when I stop selenium and iodine I get very tired and my hair goes very thin and brittle.  Any ideas anyone?

I had my whole thyroid removed 2 yrs ago. The levothyroxine wasn't absorbing so recently they put me on levothyroxine and cytomel as a booster for 9 days. My vitamin D levels.were very low. Now out of nowhere, I am getting a rash all around my neck. So.etimes very light sometimes not visible either. But the skin feels rough feeling. So I'm thinking it must be a thyroid issue or lack of vitamin D. I'm starting vitamin D today that the dr prescribed to be. We will see what happens. This rash thing is making me nervous

I would see a dermatologist. I would also make sure it is not from taking the Kelp. It takes a while for affects to wear off when having a sensitivity to something. Have you tried an allergy med to see if it is a reaction?
