A member asked:
If your skin is very thin from prednisolone and hypothyroidism recently diagnosed ~ is there anything that can help thicken it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thin skin: As far as i know being hypothyroid does not cause thin skin. It causes your skin to become very dry . Replacing thyroid horomone will help but some symptoms will continue despite taking medication . Predesione may cause some skin thinning although i would defer that to a specialist . You can avoid taking hot showers and use a very good moisturizer has natural and does not have alot of perfumes ec.
