I had an on-and-off low thyroid for years. I would paint the iodine on my skin on my arm and it would disappear in minutes so I started painting it over my throat. One of my practitioners decided I needed to have an ultrasound and the nodules showed up. I was told they were probably from painting the iodine over my throat. If you haven't had an ultrasound you might want to talk to your practitioner about getting one before you start painting the iodine on your throat... especially if you are having a reaction. Good luck. PT

I stopped using it for awhile but started up painting on my lower throat area. Had to stop because the skin became really tight and hurt just like a sunburn...now it is peeling exposing fresh soft skin. I am 62 would age factor in since my skin is getting thinner? Thanks in advance, Debbie
