I developed a terrible itching on my torso & after 3 months noticed what looked like chigger or flea bites (scabs that kept pulling off causing bleeding.). I went to a Dermatologist who immediate said the skin problem was a side effect of Graves Disease. I had never heard of this before. He prescribed a lotion & it has definitely helped but the itching continues. I don’t think the lotion can cure the problem, only help it. Has anyone had this skin problem diagnosed as Graves Disease? I am a Senior Citizen & never had a problem with skin before or thyroid problems.
