Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to be suffering from hair fall and skin changes related to hypothyroidism, as you mentioned. This causes hair loss on scalp as well as body with dry skin and dullness. Continue your medication and check your levels regularly. When the hormone levels are normal, slowly these changes can be improved.
This can take a few months to improve as the hair has to get back to its regular growth cycle. The overall hair growth and rate of growth may be affected due to other preexisting causes as well.
Thyroid disorders may be associated with menstrual problems and hormone changes, which also need correction.
Medication to lower cholesterol and can slightly reduce the oil content of skin and cause dryness too. Genetic or family associated hair loss and receding hair line/female pattern hair thinning can make you prone to the same.
Other factors, as well, such as poor nutrition, stress, lack of rest, low iron, and hemoglobin levels, dandruff, chemical treatments, and dyes on hair can also aggravate hair fall.
For your hair to grow well, it needs sufficient nutrition.
Fever, typhoid, recent illness, water change, work stress, pollution, etc., are the factors. Any illness or course of medication, application, etc., could slow the growth. These causes need to be considered, as well, and treated as they affect hair growth.
For now you may start with vitamin supplements for hair, such as Follihair or Keraglo Eva capsules daily. Ducray Anaphase shampoo. Apply almond oil or Recute hair oil to stimulate new growth. This needs to be continued at least for 2 to 3 months to see results. Evion will also help overall. Always keep your skin moisturized and use a mild soap.
Do start with the treatment as advised and see a doctor for follow-up. But do keep in mind it will take time to improve. Also, get a good nutritious diet, avoid stress, pollution, and get good rest which are required for healthy hair and skin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
