What Is The Reason For Red Spots On Chest, Back And Legs While On Levothyroxin?
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!
