Psoriasis can flare up with diabetes, thyroid issues, and stress. Itching on face, legs, and forehead may be part of the condition. Keep skin moisturized and avoid harsh soaps. Check sugar and thyroid level imbalances can worsen itching. A skin doctor can suggest safe creams or treatment. Visit the doctor for consultation and further checks.

Please take a look at my blood report. My TSH level is high, but T3 and T4 are within the normal range. I have also been experiencing hair loss.

Hi, This is my thyroid test report. Could you please review it and suggest what course of action I should take? This is the first time I have had my thyroid tested.

I was diagnosed with thyroid issues about a year ago. For the past two months, I have noticed swelling in my hands and feet. I also feel lethargic, always tired, and have difficulty concentrating. Could these symptoms be related to my thyroid, or might there be another cause? Please guide me
