Hmm, I was tested for thyroid problems when I was younger because I was overweight and had a flaking skin condition they thought was ichthyosis vulgaris (sp?) which I now treat using omega oils and lotion. I lost the weight and with the omega oils my skin is doing much better. The thyroid test came back negative back then but it sort of makes sense that I may have a problem there. I will mention that next time I see a doctor.
