Get tested: You could have a thyroid condition, causing the itchy skin and hair loss, \. I doubt the vacation had anything to do with this. Please see our doctor.

Darkening of skin: Yes virginia sun exposure in southery climes can darken and dry out skin. A major endocrine problem affecting the skin and hair is adrenal insufficiency. The best established change in skin color with hypothyroidism is a yellowing of the skin from a build up of carotene. Hyperthyroidism does not change skin coloration.
