rash on face

I was treated for graves disease several years ago and have since been taking synthroid. the problem is in the last month or two, i have been suffering from an unsightly rash on my face which won't go away. I cannot figure out what is causing it and i suspect it may be related to my thyroid condition. i do not think it has to do with any other conditions other than my thyroid problem. has anyone experienced the same type of problem with rashes?? what can i do to get rid of it??
thanks

Hi there,
I have been taking T4 meds for almost a year now and have developed a persistent red rash/mark across the right cheek area over the past 6 weeks.  It only occasionally itches but I cant work out what is causing it.
Have you had any other feedback since you posted?

Hives and some rashes can be present in patients taking Synthroid. I on the other hand do not know the best treatment do it - That was not an issue for me while I was on Synthroid.
