I have been getting frequent bumps on my skin with allergies on them. I was initially diagnosed with scabies and took treatment, but it never fully cured, and this problem has been continuing for a year. I also have thyroiditis and was not prescribed any medicine, but my recent TSH test result came back as 14. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Bumps may be allergy/post scabies rash. Avoid scratching, use moisturizers, cotton clothes. TSH 14 is high, needs treatment. Do Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4). See doctor for thyroid meds and dermatologist if rash persists.

My thyroid was removed at the age of 20 (seven years ago0 and my TSH is normal. In this situation, would there be any problem with pregnancy, and would there be any problems with the health of the child before or after delivery?

Question

My mom has had a lump in her neck for the past 20 years. She does not have any problems with the lump. We showed it to 2 to 3 doctors before, but they said there was nothing to worry about. Yesterday we went to an ENT specialist, and he said that her thyroid is swollen. He prescribed several tests. I am attaching the reports. Please tell me what they mean?

Question

I took a thyroid test for the first time. My results are: T3: 120 T4: 9.2 TSH: 4.16 The report comments mention suggesting thyronormalcy. Are these values within the normal range? If not, what treatment or steps should I consider? I have attached my report for reference.
