I am 55 years, female, 70 kgs,158 cm, taking medicines regularly for hypothyroid. No other major issues.(hysterectomy done at 45 years). I have very dry skin. I have a skin infection troubling me for the last 2 years. Initially it was painful boils, which is not happening now. This later started affecting larger areas of skin of course, without the boils. There was itching, discoloration on all folds including in the thigh area, between the legs, behind the ears, in the navel area, in the folds in the bottom portion of my stomach now it is affecting my scalp and I am loosing hair. My eyelashes also seem to have dandruff like powder. I had itraconazole caps200 mg for 15 days, then after a gap of 30 days, another 15 tablets. After another 30 days, I had another 15 tablets now I have been applying a cream surfaz sn for quite some time, which gives me very temporary relief. Please advise.

It can be because of dermatitis/ eczema or allergy or dryness or fungal infection or psoaiasis etc. I need details of case n preferably pics of affected area. In the meanwhile follow this moisturize frequently. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity. Avoid sweating or overheating. Reduce stress. Avoid scratchy materials, such as wool directly in contact with skin. Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, and solvents. Be aware of any foods that may cause an outbreak and avoid those foods. For this homeopathic treatment is very effective for more details you can consult me.

All features are related to hypothyroidism. Dry skin is more prone to infection. Use moistures for dry skin & regular use antifungal shampoo for dandruff &. Proper treatment of hypothyroidism is atmost important. So consult to physician for hypothyroidism & for dermatologist for proper skin care.

Dry skin is a comon condition seen in patient of hypothyroidism. Maintain proper hygeine and use moisturizer for that.(at least daily after bathing. For dandruff use antifungal shampo twice wkly for atleast 2 months. If you are having ringworm infection (diagnosed by a dermatolgist) den take proper course of cap itraconazole and luliconazole cream for atleast 1 month and without ny gap in between. Surfaz sn (triple combination) is not used in ny dermatological disease. It is usually prescribed by a quack when diagnosis is uncertain. So stop it ryt now. Visit nearest dermatolgist .thanks.
