Are Peeling Skin Between Knuckles, Losing Scalp Hair Caused By Thyroid Medication?
My skin is peeling between my knuckles & I reduced my thyroid medicine a little. I am also losing a bit more scalp hair. Should I go back to my previous thyroid medication dosage when I wasn t having those symptoms or go by the tsh blood work. Problem is I feel best when my tsh is slightly too low.
