Is salt made of Iodine?
Regular "table salt" is a compound of sodium and chlorine. Iodine is often added to it before it's sold, as a dietary supplement to protect against the dangers of iodine- deficiency diseases, but iodine is a separate element that's not involved in the composition of pure table salt. But there are "salts" of other elements too, and they include things like silver iodide and potassium iodide, in which iodine is part of the chemical compound.
Will iodine on skin affect throid test?
Probably not, iodine supplements only effect the thyroid if someone is hypothyroid due to severe iodine deficiency - something not usually seen in the US or other developed countries due to iodine found in salt and other food sources.
What disease is caused by inadequate intake of iodine?
Iodine is used to produce the hormones thyroxin and tri-iodothyroxin in the thyroid. With iodine deficiency the body can no longer produce these hormones. These hormones are controlled by negative feedback, meaning that these hormones decrease their own production in the thryoid. So without thyroxin and tri-iodothyroxin there is no longer a signal to stop production by the thyroid and therefore the thyroid goes into overdrive while the body loses its thyroid hormones. This results in a goiter(enlargment of thyroid) and HYPOthyroidism(look up symptoms on wikipedia). Iodine deficiency is extremely rare in all developed nations because we add iodine to salt. Hope that helps.

What is the purpose of the thyroid in the human body?
The Thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck. It has most important part to play in regulating energy production, and also interacts with how fast other hormones are made in the body, and thus how fast the body grows. It is controlled by the hypothalamus and the pituitary. It may suffer from growing too large, or being too small. A common cause of it being too large is a deficiency of iodine in the diet, and the gland grows in an attempt to get more. (ineffective strategy). The same shortage of dietary iodine can also cause cretinism. Countries or locations far from the sea sometimes have an iodine deficiency. This is simply remedied by using iodized table salt. [Iodine is the heaviest element necessary to human nutrition.]

What does vitamin a deficiency course?
Prevalence of vitamin A deficiency. Source: WHO The major cause is diets which include few animal sources of pre-formed vitamin A. Breast milk of a lactating mother with vitamin A deficiency contains little vitamin A, which provides a breast-fed child with too little vitamin A. In addition to dietary problems, there are other causes of vitamin A deficiency. Iron deficiency can affect vitamin A uptake. Excess alcohol consumption can deplete vitamin A, and a stressed liver may be more susceptible to vitamin A toxicity. People who consume large amounts of alcohol should seek medical advice before taking vitamin A supplements. In general, people should also seek medical advice before taking vitamin A supplements if they have any condition associated with fat malabsorption such as pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, tropical sprue & biliary obstruction.
