Suggest treatment for skin rash due to food allergy
Patient: Hello.  I have a thyroid problem and since I started with this problem I have nothing but problems with my health.  I now have an allergy to nuts (not the case before this thyroid problem) and other foods and I have developed red, itchy and scaly skin at the forefront hairline, on the temples and on my eye lids and it hurts.  Before Christmas I changed the dose of the thyroxine to 125 mg, because 100 mg was not enough and I was not feeling well and gaining weight.  I just do not feel well.  I will go for a blood test next week to assess the situation, but it does not answer the problem of the red and blotchy skin.  Thank you for any advice you can give me in advance.
