 Posted: 01/14/06 - 01:00 Post subject: hyperthyroidism and acne |
 |
|
Hello. I'm 34 year old female and I would like to find out is there any connection between my acne problem and some conditions concerning my thyroid gland.
I'm suffering from acne at least five years now and I haven’t had them since I was teenager then- they again started to show. I have tried at least twenty different skin lotions and anti-acne products but nothing was helping me.
I become desperate! A good friend told me that this acne problem could be related to hyperthyroidism and that this could be the reason why they don’t respond to treatment. Does anybody know anything about this? How to recognize this hyperthyroidism?

Hello. I have just read your post and it has made me thinking about it. I didn’t know a lot about this thyroid condition but I have read some interesting stuff.
Your friend was completely right- among many possible symptoms of hyperthyroidism is also a hair loss, acne and oily skin. Other symptoms include fast heart beats or palpitations, shortness of breath, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, shakiness, tremor, irritability, feeling warm and increased sweating. These acne don’t respond to any skin treatment and that’s why the reason of hyperthyroidism must be cured first I order to cure them.
If you experienced any of these symptoms- contact your endocrinologist.

Recently I was diagnosed with grave's disorder(hyperthyroidism) and unfortunatly I am dealing with acne problems as well.I'm 37 yo and until 10-12 months ago never had any skin prbs or acne of any sort.Just as you ,I've tried different expensive skin care products but none worked so I thought must be some hormonal disorder or so.I went to see the doc and after a few tests voila' it showed that i have an overactive thyroid so now i know for sure that hyperthyrodism could cause acne or other skin conditions.I hope that once I'll be on medication my painful pimples and ugly white heads eill be gone!

| ....thank God. I thought it was just me! I just found out my T4 was "4"!! and I've been having the worst painful acne on my face, back, neck and chest. Does anyone know if it'll go away once my thyroid levels are at a normal level? And is there anything I can do in the meantime? |
