Hypothyroidism Controlled With Medicines, Thyroid Reports Normal, Severe Acne And Hairfall. Reason?

I m 24yr old female with known hypothyroidism for past 8yrs and well controlled TSH/T3/T4 levels with THYRONORM 100mcg and also I have PCOD on treatment with METFORMIN . My periods are regular. But for past 6months I m having more acne and severe hairfall. I want to know what s the reason for hairfall even when my recent TSH reports are normal? I do not have dandruff or any other skin problems.

HARMONAL IMBALACES CAUSE THESE THE HARMONES ARE UNDER CONTROL BUT THE DISEASE IS STILL THERE AND THESE HARMONAL IMBALANCES CAUSES ACNE AND HAIR FALL
THE MOST IMPORTANT IS TO TITRATE THE DOSES OF MEDICINES FREQUENTLY ACCORDING TO LEVELS OF TSH
NO OILY GREESY FAT FOOD KEEP SKIN DRY AND AIRY
NO TOXIC SOAPS SHAMPOO AND OINTMENTS
APPLY CLINDAMYCIN GEL ON FACE BD AND TRETINOIC ACID GEL AT NIGHT AND SWITCH OF LIGHT AS TRETINOIC ACID REACTS WITH LIGHT
BECLOMETHASONE LOTION ON HEAD AT NIGHT AND WASH WITH KETAKONAZOLE SHAMPOO IN THE MORNING
DO FDOR 3 MONTHS AND WITH PRECAUTIONS WRITTEN ABOVE YOU WILL BE COMFIRTABLE
