Skin darkening and hairfall
Hello Doctor,
I had a total thyroidectomy 8 years ago and I’m currently taking Thyronorm 150 mcg and 125 mcg on alternate days. I am also taking calcium tablets.
My recent reports show TSH 23.39 with low T4, hemoglobin 10.7, calcium 7.3, and vitamin D 27. I have face puffiness, dull/anemic skin tone, hair fall, acne, and pigmentation.
My skin is extremely sensitive. Even dermatology-tested face washes and acne creams have not helped, and pimple marks remain clearly visible.

Hi there fellow Bengalurean...
I just came across this post.
Your Thyroid issues together with your clinical description, suggest possible involvement of other endocrine system involvement.
Your issues need to be tackled by a Dermatologist in conjunction with an Endocrinologist... for you preferably under one roof.
Since I am an Alumnus of At John's Medical College Hospital 🏥, i always recommend it.
However feel free to contact any multi-speciality hospital of repute preferably a medical college for that aggressive academic approach in your case.
Don't worry about the cosmetic segments... That is easily sorted by one of us in Bangalore especially one of us who have access to an in-house pharmacy that churns up lotions and creams that are tailor made for you.
