Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Increased TSH with symptoms like dry skin and and hair loss suggest that you might be having hypothyroidism.
But to confirm it you will need to do further study for free T3 and free T4.
I suggest you to get these above tests done and then with all the reports you can consult a endocrinologist who looks after matter related to thyroid related problems.
I hope i have answered your query well.
Thank you
