Hi Badarishisha,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum,
For you the best advice is to consult a very good endocrinologist/gynecologist and take the medicines regularly. The pigmentation is common in hypothyroidism. Th endocrinologist whom you are going to meet can help you regarding this.
Take care
Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar
