Brief Answer:
Thyroid profile is normal

Detailed Answer:
Thyroid profile is normal
So continue same dose of thyroxine.
There is nothing in otjer reports to explain facial hair growth. I mean androgen levels are noal
So no hormonal treatment can be given for hair growth. You can try local eflornithine cream. It will prevemt further hair growth. Laser may also be required depending on the extent of growth and its cosmetic implication.
