Hello Doctor,
I am a 29-year-old male.
For the last few months, I am experiencing:
• Hair fall
• Mental confusion / brain fog
• Dry skin (started suddenly)
I want to know:
1. Do these symptoms suggest a thyroid problem?
2. Should I do a complete thyroid test?
3. If not complete, which thyroid test is necessary first (TSH, T3, T4)?
Please guide me on which tests are needed.
Thank you.

Many things can cause your symptoms including the weather combined with stress etc.
Have routine tests- CBP, ESR, TSH, Vit D, Liver Function tests and Kidney Function tests
Use moisturiser for your skin.
All the best.

Yes, they can, particularly hypothyroidism.
Hair fall is common in hypothyroidism, Brain fog / mental confusion is very common and Sudden dry skin is a classic hypothyroid symptom.
Next Steps
No need for full thyroid panel initially
Start with TSH
Also check iron & B12 (very important)
