Could Severe Itching In Body Be Due To Hormonal Deficiency?

Hi Dr I have a number problems that are really starting to bother me. I have been to see a doctor but I m entirely sure that the diagonise was correct. The Dr said it was Hormonal. I have a thyroid problem and taking eltroxin 1 in morning 1 at night 1 I ve developed a problem with my skin about 2months ago (April-May). In my neck up to just beneath my eyes and behind my ears, the skin is extremely dry and pulls and itches 2 Suddenly 2 days ago i noticed that I m losing a toenail for no reason.I didn t drop anything on it nor bumped it. There is no discolouration and no pain. I am a vegaterian (5 months) now could it be due to a lack of something. Please help! Terry MEDICATIONS Pharmistist prescribed MYLOCORT CREAM 1.0 g Hydrocortisone acetate antihistamines. Which was stopped by the Hemeopath I saw. Hemeopath prescribed BADIAGA CX LEDUM CX SEPIA CX DERMAHEAL OINTMENT WHICH MAKES MY SKIN FEEL EVEN DRIER

Hi,

You have to check your thyroid hormones level in the blood in the first place, as it can be the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
