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.

I have been experiencing a low grade fever for the past 15 days, mostly in the evenings between 7 to 10 PM, and sometimes after 4 PM. The temperature varies between 98.5F and 99.5F. I have taken Dolo 650 twice. I sometimes feel heaviness in my eyes, but it improves after eating. I have done a Widal test and CBC, which showed only a mild increase in ESR. I am unable to understand the cause of this persistent fever. What could be the reason, and what treatment should I follow?

I am 29 years old and 15 weeks pregnant now. I am using 137.5 mg Eltroxin tablet from one month. Today I got results of TSH 0.3, Total T4 19.9 and Total T3 1.96. Why does my total T4 level show high? Is there any problem for my pregnancy and my baby?

My thyroid function test shows TSH of 4.90?microIU/mL. I have been experiencing hair loss for the past two months, and my hairline has receded significantly. Could this hair loss be due to my thyroid levels?
