Hi,
This is a strange problem that you have here. You said you checked your thyroid and that it function is normal. What are your TSH levels? Do you have these numbers maybe? Usually if the bodies lymphatic system is not functioning regularly body tend to lose weight. Have you considered that this could be related with your spleen? What kind of medication have your been taking? Can you tell us if doctor did any more tests?
Usually if there is some infection in the body lymph nodes get enlarged, and it’s not that uncommon that skin gets infected as well. So then there is noticeable swelling on the skin. They can then compress other body organs and there for cause them to malfunction.
