Have Pigmentation On Both Cheeks. Not Reducing Despite Peeling And Home Remedies. Taking Thyronorm, But Test Was Normal
Question: i have pigmentation on both cheeks . doctor asked me to take thyronorm 50mg which i am taking since 2 years now.thyroid function testwas normal but still medicine is continuing. the pigmentation however is not reducing despite peeling done at a clinic and home remedies.please suggest accurate remedy to get back blemish free skin .
Hello,
I am Dr.Omer and I am here to help you with your query.
As you have said that you are taking thyronorm for hypothyroidism ( now normal thyroid profile) , having cheek pigmentation , used all clinical treatment + home remedies but no improvement.
You also have osteoarthritis with osteoporosis ( clamag D) , IBS , Migraine.
The most plausible cause to your skin pigmentation can be XXXXXXX disease.
XXXXXXX disease is a sistern disease of hypothyroidism( autoimmune diseases) , which shows with low blood pressure ( 90/60) , pigmentation resistant to clinical treatment( cheeks , elbows , knees) until and unless you get XXXXXXX treatment.
Other cause can be MALESMA , black brown / pink discolouration on cheeks and forehead , can occur at any age most in young age or in perimenopausal years.
The treatment of hypothyroidism depends upon the cause of your hypothyroidism , for example for thyroiditis , thyronorm treatment is for 6 months , while for hashimotos it is life long , you need to go to your treating physician to know the cause of your hypothyroidism.
I know your skin is oily , sensitive to creams , but most probably you will be having the above cause , for XXXXXXX get short synacten test , and malesma will be reviewed by skin specialist.
I hope this solves your query.
Feel free to ask any further question.
TAKE CARE,
