User: Can you tell if someone has hypothyroidism by looking at their face?
Assistant: Quite often, symptoms of hypothyroidism can be seen by the appearance of an individual's face or neck. The first and most common symptom is an unusually puffy or swollen face or neck.  Individuals with hypothyroidism may also have thin eyebrows, with the outer portion of the brow either extremely sparse or missing.  Dry skin on the face and neck, persistent acne around the mouth or chin, tired, swollen looking eyes and thinning hair are also common symptoms of hypothyroidism.  If you or someone you know are experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to be seen by a doctor.
