I'm dealing with ichthyosis, and I just found out about it. I'm 24 and really worried about my super dry, flaky skin. Can you provide some advice or solutions for managing this condition?

Question

I've been experiencing severe hair loss lately and it's really worrying me. I did all sorts of blood tests and found out I have a vitamin D deficiency. My doctor suggested taking D Rise 60k, but I'm wondering if that's the only thing causing my hair loss. Should I consider seeing a homeopathic or Ayurvedic specialist for this? What else could be causing such drastic hair loss?

Question

I've been dealing with a really red and irritated rash along my mustache line, and it's super dry and itchy. Recently, I also noticed a lump on the right side of my jaw, and I can't figure out why it's there. Plus, my acne seems to be getting worse. I've been using moisturizer and washing my face with 10% benzoyl peroxide, but I've avoided using it in the rashy area for months. I first noticed the dryness and flakiness around the start of the year. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?
