Understanding Dry Skin
Dry skin in hypothyroidism occurs because thyroid hormones regulate skin cell turnover and sebaceous gland function. Low thyroid hormone levels reduce skin hydration, elasticity, and sebum production, leading to dry, flaky, and sometimes itchy skin.

- ⚠️Severe dry skin not responding to moisturizers

- ⚠️Dry skin with other thyroid symptoms
- ⚠️Signs of skin infection from scratching
