Hi. I was just wondering if eczema was a symptom of hypo. I just found out that I have it on my elbow. At first I just thought I had really dry skin there. It's probably been there for about a month now.

Hi - I haven't seen anything about eczema ebing related to hypothyroid but it is related to stress. So perhaps the stress of the thyroid condition has brought on the eczema? Cathy
