A member asked:

Pretibial myxoedema - want to know if you can get it from taking armour thyroid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: pretibial myxedema is a skin disorder associated with autoimmune thyroid disease (typically Graves disease). It occurs unrelated to thyroid hormone levels or medications such as Armour thyroid.
