Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
Levothyroxine tablets very rarely cause allergic reaction and you have noticed that the skin allergy is still present, even though you stopped the treatment.
So i would recommend to continue with levothyroxine and consult a physician in person to give treatment for the allergy.
Or you may attach a picture of the lesions to give you a more accurate suggestion.
Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta
