Thyroid Dry Skin

Dry Skin and Thyroid Problems

Are you one of the 59 million Americans that have a thyroid problem? If so, you may be experiencing dry skin caused by your thyroid. Both an under-active or over-active thyroid can create problems for your skin and cause the need for a dry skin thyroid treatment.

The wellbeing of your skin depends on the general health of your body. When hormones, like those controlled by the thyroid, are not working properly it can have a profound effect on your skin's condition. A hypothyroid also referred to as an under-active thyroid, slows down the metabolic function and causes skin to become cold, dry and pale. The condition can become more severe and progress into keratoderma. Keratoderma occurs when dry skin becomes so extreme that there is no sweating and the palms and soles become thick. Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion contains a powerful moisturizer that keeps skin soft and hydrated while protecting against the chemicals that can worsen dry skin.

A hyperactive thyroid produces more of the thyroid hormone than a normally functioning thyroid. The skin on the shins gets thick with raised plaques or nodules due to deposits of altered material in the skin. The epidermis thickens and you get an itchy, dry skin condition.

Skin MD Natural is an excellent dry skin treatment for these conditions. Just read what our users are saying about Skin MD Natural as a dry skin thyroid treatment:

"I developed an overactive thyroid in 1990 and the skin on my shins and my feet became thick, dry and itchy. I have tried every lotion available for dry skin treatment, to no avail. I often scratched my legs till they bled. Then I found Skin MD Natural. What a relief! My skin is no longer red and itchy all the time. While I know that there is no medical cure for this condition, with Skin MD Natural my skin is not red, dry and itchy anymore."

"Anyone who has skin worries like I do or who just wants to look their best should definitely cruise around Skin MD's site. It's a great resource for information. I was personally intrigued by the bits they had about thyroid skin conditions. While my skin isn't as bad as the pictures shown, it is still dry and itchy. I've tried so many different lotions and was floored that this stuff actually did the job!"

"I have a tough time finding products that work for me.

Eczema, check.
Sensitive skin + allergies, check.
Thyroid issues, check.
Other womanly issues, check.

All in all, if I'm not careful with what I put on my skin, I turn into a scaly beast with extra oily parts some places and extra dry parts other places. (Whoa. Too much information.)

Skin MD Natural is a full body, hands, and face shielding lotion that is light, yet nourishing, AND no grease. I'm a fan. I really like this lotion and what it does for me. And the 4oz bottle really goes a long way."
