Hi i think it is atopic eczema.yes it is sometimes associated with thyroid disorders.but i do not think there is any relation of it in the treatment part.use regular moisteriser all over the body twice daily as the eczema occurs due to dry skin.apply steriod cream whenever there is eczema.and apply tacrolimus to decrease recurrence of eczema
