Brief Answer:
Takes time to return to normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
Levothyroxine dose adjustment done based on TSH level. Regular monitoring of TSH level should be done to adjust thyroxine level.
Skin changes do take some time to return to normal. you can apply moisturing cream to your skin. With proper dose of Levothyroxine it may take 3 to 4 weeks for skin to return to normal.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
