Sky King - I can see me in a Muu Muu on the mtb trail

When I was trending toward over-suppression with my anti-thyroid medicine, i.e., when I was trending towards mild hypothyroidism, I had a somewhat persistent itchy rash on my lower stomach. It's not an uncommon side effect of being hypo. Is it possible that your levels are off?
No apparent rash, lots of redness, raw skin sometimes, sometimes it itches terribly, sometimes not at all. It comes and goes but never goes all the way. It was painful and quite aggravated in the shower Sunday after my 2 hour mtb ride so I suspect that some portion of my shorts or perhaps the upper edge of my chamois was hitting it. I am more bent over on the mtb than on my Gunnar.

Thanks Westtexas, I don't think I am allergic to it. I have a VERY strong cortisone cream I use for psoriasis but I would visit my doctor before considering using it down there It is too close to my girly bits...If the anti-fungal I just picked up doesn't really help I will head to my doctor...
