A member asked:
Why i have bilateral dark skin papulomacular hyperpigment ed lesion on tibia or shin with abdominal obesity? is it subclinical hypotyrodism?

Need more info: I'd like to know how long the lesions have been on your shins. I'd prefer to see a picture and take a history. One possibility is a panniculitis or maybe even erythema nodosum, which may be associated with a streptococcal pharyngitis. It may be idiopathic, though. In less developed parts of the world, sometimes this skin finding can be associated with primary tuberculosis.

Lower section of tibia on both legs in the same spot is very dry. Not painful but itchy on occasion. My lotion will not absorb into these areas anymore. The lotion just sits on top of that skin. Is there something I can use to get better absorption?
