I'm concerned about this connection between vitamin D deficiency and seborrheic dermatitis. My vitamin D levels are at 10.53, which seems low, and I have seborrheic dermatitis. My doctor mentioned there's no link, but I read somewhere that vitamin D deficiency might cause seborrheic dermatitis. I'm confused and would appreciate some clarity on whether there's any real connection or if it's just a coincidence. Could my low vitamin D be affecting my skin condition in some way?

I'm dealing with hair loss and have noticed it's male pattern baldness. I'm thinking about trying Minoxidil topical solution, but I'm unsure if it's safe, especially since there are mixed opinions about using Minoxidil before marriage because it might affect fertility. Plus, I've heard about potential side effects like chest pain and dry skin, which is a bit worrying. How should I approach this? I'm sure others have the same questions, so any advice would really help.

I've been dealing with this antifungal issue for a couple of years now. Every time I use the medication prescribed by my doctor, it seems to help only temporarily, and then once I stop, the antifungal comes back. It's causing severe itching that's really uncomfortable. I'm just trying to figure out how I can get rid of this for good. Any advice would be really appreciated!
