Suggest Treatment For Body Rashes With Low Iron
Hi. Ihae been diagnosed as being low in iron and have been prescribed ferrous sulphate twice daily.I have had quite a blotchy skin rash with this and I am due to be tested for hypothyroidism.Since I have been on iron my intensely itchy face has got better, but I still have a reddish rash. What do you think? By the way, my iron levels have gone up from 8.1 to 11 now and I do feel much better. Not so cold, not as itchy, and my head was feeling "fuggy"! Do you think Ihave signs ofHypothyroidism? I am due to have bloodtests for this in March. Thankyou.
