Symptoms Of Graves' Disease

Thick And Red Skin

Although not all patients with Graves' disease develop thick and red skin, this symptom is very specific to the disease. The skin over the tops of the shins and sometimes the feet thickens and becomes distinctly red in color. The thickening and redness may be spread uniformly or may be present in only patches scattered throughout the area. Oddly, only the skin on the shins and tops of the feet are affected by this peculiar symptom, which makes it so helpful in diagnosing Graves' disease; if a person presents with skin symptoms affecting other parts of the body, it is unlikely they have Graves' disease.
