Strange blotchy red areas on skin…pic attached..help..

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi,

Can anyone recognise or tell me what these strange random red skin patches are that keep appearing (then going and returning), mostly torso.

I am suffering with chronic fatigue, chest pressure, spine issues and on/off chest tightness. Possibly hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis .

They dont look normal.

Thanks.image

    They may be related to your possible Hyperthyroidism. Are you having any treatment? Do mention them to your doctor or consultant.

      Hi,

      Thank you for your reply.

      Are they hives? Blotches like the photo that spontaneously show and take up to day to fade. Also 90% permanent on sides of my neck for a very long time.

      I have all the hyperthyroid symptoms but my hormone bloods have previously been what 'nhs' call normal. Recently worsened and effecting my eyes.

      I feel dreadful most of the time .

      GP's and Endo's shy away.

      Diagnosed me years ago with Chronic Fatigue which I have never fully agreed with.

      Ive now requested Endo referral and new bloods. Used to have regular checks on atrophied thyroid and micro pituitary adenoma but useless GP stopped them 5 years ago.

      Hoping bloods will show enough for Dr's to listen .
