No. Did you show your doctor? I asked because I am taking Levothyroxine since 2008/9 and never had that.

I have dark blotches with little white scars but I think it's from allergic reactions from my MCAS. I never thought to wonder if something else was the source of the dark blotches. If you ask your Dr will you please share what they say here? I'm curious now.

Have you seen a rhematologist or a dermatologist? It could be your immune system

I have that. I was blaming it on my CPAP mask. Now I'm wondering. Thanks much

I have never had anything like that and I have been on levothyroxine since at least 2007 I think.

I have kind of splotchy skin on my face and have taken levothyroxine for years...I never connected those two things so I'll be interested to hear what Dr. says.

I have dark blotches/spots but mine I believe are age spots from tanning for so many years. I was a sun worshiper!
