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?
