Hypothyroid leads to yellow/orange discolorations of the palms and soles of the feet. This is from poor conversion of betacarotene from vegetables, that happens when thyroid hormone is low. Betacarotene is converted to Vit A in the liver with the help of thyroid hormone. So this discoloration is one sign pointing to the thyroid.

The tests will tell more.
