Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to Levothyroxine.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application at the rash area.
I recommend to consult your doctor about this side effect of Levothyroxine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards!
