Does Taking Hypothyroid Medicine Cause Smelly Palms?
I currently have a smelly odor on the palms of my hands that transfers to my pillow. This has also happened in the past. I wash my hands to no avail, use hand lotion, Tec. I recently had my hypothyroid medicine increased from 50mg to 75 mg due to tests indicating the need and the fact that I have been battling excessive fatigue and day time sleep requirements. Is there any correlation?
