[|AI|]  Hello, I think you should check your thyroid hormone levels because Hypothyroidism can cause hair loss and also skin pigmentation. Also, you may need to do a total blood count to check for iron deficiency anemia. Taking iron supplement may be advisable. Also, if you have Hypothyroidism you may need to take levothyroxine. Using minoxidil can help you improve hair quantity.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
