How To Treat An Itchy Rash On The Entire Arm?
My daughter had papillary thyroid cancer and thyroid removed 5 months ago. A day after surgery a small rash on arm and was on synthroid 100. Dr changed it to tirosent . They went up on medication to 150 because was so very tired & bad hair loss. The rash is getting worse and is on one arm from wrist to shoulder. Very red and very itchy. What could this be? Thank you !

Thank you for your queries.
Skin rashes are most probably due to hypothyroidism. You may need to have increased dose of thyroid replacement. Consult your treating physician
