What Is Grave's Disease?

I was just diagnosed with Grave's Disease. I have had an issue, for a year now, with persistent tiny, itchy, stinging bumps all over my scalp. I have been to five different dermatologists to find put what is wrong. I just read about a condition associated with Grave's called " Malaria Bumps." could this be my problem? Or, are there other skin conditions associated with Grave's that could be causing this problem??

Hi,
Grave's disease is a lesion of thyroid, characterized by excessive production of thyroid. It is a autoimmune disorder. It can result in bilging eyes, weight loss, always feeling hot and diarrhea etc.
Miliara bumps is due to heat and graves disease can cause it. It results in excessive itching in skin and scalp, also called as sweat bumps. These are red bumps and itchy in nature.
There are other skin conditions like shin dermatosis, but a rational explanation with heat bumps and grave disease is possible.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
