I recently underwent a blood check up recommended by a dermatologist for skin issues. My blood report states that my TSH is 11. What may be the cause?

TSH of 11 suggests hypothyroidism, which can cause dry skin, fatigue, and hair loss. Thyroid medication may be needed. Please do the required FT4 and anti TPO test to confirm.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Thyroxine (T4, Total), Serum Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test
