Always ask your doctor before using any thing over the counter, and this stuff, is bad for some one with thyroid disease ! i wouldnt use it there are meds for you that he can give you that will not affect the thyroid so please talk to him about this!

Consult with your doctor first, what may seem as minor over the counter medication may possibly interfere with any medications you are currently taking. In the end there may be no cause for alarm, but it always better to be safe than sorry. Depending on your relationship with your doctor, you may be able to just send him/her and email or give them a quick phone call.

The thyroid medication will not interfere with anything topical. No need to consult your doctor or anything.
Good luck!
