Oily Skin - Over replaced...

Has anyone experienced oilier skin when you have been over replaced with Levothyroxine? I’m wondering if my suddenly oilier skin is as a result of being slightly over replaced (according to my doctor) or could maybe be hormonal? The other symptom is hair loss. My tsh is very suppressed at <0.005 free T4 is 17.0 (7.00-16.00) and free T3 is now 5.8 (3.9-6.00). When the symptoms started T4 was 16.4 and T3 5.1. Any help would be great!! Bloods all fine, ferritin 108 and I’m on loading doses of vitamin D, 1000mcg sublingual B12 and 5mg Folate xx

Thank you!

If I’m a little over replaced, I’ve noticed my hair gets really greasy which never ever happened when hypo.
