What causes unexplained rashes after having pituitary surgery?
Patient: I have had unexplained rashes after having pituatary surgery for five years. Had shingles in July this year. Just found out I have hyperthyroid. Getting a 24 hour scan and uptake next week. Could the shingles have caused hyperthyroid? Also could the rashes be related to the rashes? Doctor: 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 hyperthyroidismHyperthyroidism 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 helpsWish you all the bestThank you for using healthcare magic
