Hey guys,
I'm a 27 y.o. male that started to have light acne issues (mostly on the forehead) about 2.5 years ago. Since then, I've been on Doxycycline and Vitamin D to treat it. Depending on my diet and time of the years, I managed to control it pretty well.
About 4 months ago, I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and prescribed Synthroid. I took 25mcg for the first 2 months and I've been on 50mcg for the last 2.
For about the last 4 weeks, I've noticed that my acne breakouts have become a lot more severe. I used to have 1 or 2 pimples maximum at the same time, but nous I have more than 10.
I'm wondering if my increased dose of Syntroid (T4) could explain this? Is there a known link between thyroid meds and acne? Any testimonies?
thanks
