15. You Have Dry Skin

Medical News Today

Another problem that arises due to a low functioning thyroid is having dry skin. This is because a slowed down metabolism also means that skin doesn’t shed as quickly as before, leaving the top layer on for longer than usual. Another reason for dry skin is due to an autoimmune disease which then causes hypothyroidism. If you notice dry, flakey and red skin and don’t have any allergies or other reasons for your skin to become problematic, speak to a doctor about the chances of having a thyroid issue so that it can be treated right away.
