Hello,
These are not usually related to thyroid hormone abnormalities but you should have a check on your androgen levels and also have an ultrasound of your ovaries to know if you have PCOS or not. For the excess hair growth I would advice you to go in for laser surgery to remove the same since other treatment measures might not be that effective. Please note that multiple sessions might be required to get rid of most of the hair growth in these areas.
