Dry and Itchy Skin
Skin cells in your body are characterized by quick turnover. Thus, they are prone to signals of losing growth from the thyroid hormones. When normal cycles of skin renewal are broken, your skin might take longer to grow again. This means your skin’s outer layer will accumulate damage and result in dry or flaky skin. Indeed, nearly 50% of patients with this health issue said that their skin got worse over time. Changes in the skin which can’t be blamed on some common allergies such as new products or hay fevers could be a common symptom of thyroid issues. [4]
