Hi I did review your concern. Rash can be or cannot be related to the pituitary surgery.
One would like to see the type of rash before commenting on it.
Shingles usually does not cause hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is caused either by toxic nodular goiter or graves disease. you would require antithyroid medication under doctors guidance like propylthiouracil or methimazole to curb the thyroid hormone synthesis.
I hope this helps
Wish you all the best
