During the years of my practice in the treatment of children with autism, I have seen many of them with something called hyperkeratosis pilaris. A hyperkeratosis pilaris is bumpy skin often seen on the back of the hand, it can also bee seen on the upper thighs and cheeks. It is yet to be attributed to heredity as caused by the accumulation of skin cells in these places. Using skin puff pad rub the area with the bumps seem to be effective in treating it. But there is another theory which hyperkeratosis pilaris is really caused by low thyroid function, and that the body can not convert beta carotene into vitamin A.
And we believe that hypothyroidism is another potential factor hyperkeratosis pilaris. If you want to see these questions on a test, you are OK with blood, there are several things you can učiniti.Prvi run TSH test, which stands for thyroid stimulating hormone, and the other is to run free T3 and free T4. And what you see is that the T3 and T4 levels, especially T3 levels to be in the upper two thirds of what is considered the normal reference range for the proper functioning of the thyroid. You can look at the overall functioning of the hypothalamus and pituitary to connect, but your thyroid tests are much more invasive than what can be done only in laboratory settings and more expensive as well. Therefore, a good way to go to work TSH, free T3 and free T4.
It is also wise to connect with other symptoms of low thyroid function. So, if your child has hyperkeratosis pilaris plus they have a lower body temperature, and they tend to always have cold hands and feet cold plus they suffer from constipation, thyroid function can be a problem. You May want to decide if supplementing with thyroid medication option. I like to use Armorthyroid because it is more natural thyroid medication and it is better than using more synthetic form. However, the drug may be effective in boosting thyroid function in children with thyroid problems. Adding to the thyroid medication can help the brain, and overall metabolism. So, hyperkeratosis pilaris is a possible indicator of low thyroid function and to check on something more with the appropriate blood tests.
