General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for asking to healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.
Brief answer:Infection is unlikely,hypothyroidism could be a possibility.
Detailed answer:
If i am your physician,would need some more information to provide a good opinion like
1)any history of drug or food allergy ?--as the inactive ingredients in the medication for hypothyroid condition itself may be causing you the itchiness.
2)How's your hormonal state with thyronorm ?--as hypothyroid state itself can cause your skin dry and itching sometimes.
3)Any associated symptoms ?--can help me narrow down the diagnosis to your problem.
However would suggest you to get basic investigations done like haemogram,urinalysis,liver and kidney function tests to rule out any other underlying causes of itching.Hope this information helps you.Reply me back with the details,try to help you better.Take care.
