Most women, but almost no men, have a defining crease right above their collarbone and just above their Adam's apple. And that defining crease is from a low thyroid? Yeah, because at puberty, the thyroid gland naturally enlarges to overcome the effect of estrogen. And that makes a fullness so that the bending of the neck causes those creases to outline the puffy area where the gland is. And is that something that's completely normal? Yeah, that's part of what makes women look attractive because it corresponds to the years between puberty and menopause.
