Hi! I'm an 18-year-old male with rather oily skin, large pores, acne, and non-Rosacea flushing. These conditions ONLY affect my face. Both of my parents had severe thyroid disease (mom: cancer, dad: thyroid no longer functions) and my own TSH level is at 0.25. I know this is hardly life-threatening, but it is hyperthyroidism. For years, my skin has been oily and slightly flushed (not my neck, or anywhere else). If I even so much as look down at the ground, my face fills with blood and swells slightly. I would love any responses to the possible link between my thyroid function and my facial skin. Responses from those with endocrinological experience or those suffering from similar symptoms and hyperthyroidism would be even more appreciated!
