A decreased production of thyroid stimulating hormones can cause thickening and swelling of the skin. Myxedema is caused by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the skin. Glycosaminoglycans causes excessive skin swelling, which is the primary characteristic of myxedema. Besides thickening and swelling of the skin, symptoms of myxedema are similar to hypothyroidism such as weight gain, fatigue, depression, brittle hair, and dry skin.
