Weight Gain, Flushed Skin, and Thyroid Prominence

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello,

For the past year, I've been aware of splotchy redness at the base of my neck, like a lingering blush.  Additionally, it seems that my thyroid is a bit larger or more prominent than it used to be.  I have also gained 10 pounds or so over the last five years. 

Does weight gain affect the size of the gland?  Does anyone else have splotchy patches on the neck?
