Hi,all. I've noticed that my skin seems to be a little drier, my hair grows not quite as fast; little things like that. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I also have a thyroid condition that causes these same symptoms, but they seem to be a little worse lately. Thanks for the responses.

I live in central state of india. Country which faces the problem of lot of heat and pollution . My skin is dry too and I work very hard to keep it smooth and fine as I know my wife will kick me if I won't keep myself upto the mark . regarding my hair they are too soft to handle so I keep them short very short what we call is millitary cut . All I do is take care of them as much as I can by giving them 10 minutes daily and to keep them in best condition.

Better consult a doctor now. If it's one of the symptoms of thyroid enlargement you should have take medicines by now. There were some complications brought by elargement of thyroid gland (if this is the case) that you can't imagine. Some have effect on our internal organs expecially the heart.

I've been on thyroid medication for years. I think that some of the physical symptoms(dry skin,etc.) are from that, but I do think they've gotten worse with menopause. Thanks for responding.
