I'm currently using minoxidil 5% for my male pattern baldness and getting PRP treatments too. But the minoxidil is giving me dandruff, and I've been washing my hair every other day. I'm wondering if it's okay or even beneficial to wash my hair every day instead. Any advice on this?

I'm a 32-year-old female with medium fair skin, and I've been wondering about sunlight exposure since I've been spending much more time indoors because of the pandemic. If I'm planning to take a walk outside to get some sunlight, when is the best time of day to do this, and when should I avoid it? Also, how much time should I spend in the sun each week or day, while wearing regular clothes, to make sure I'm getting enough Vitamin D?
For vitamin D production and minimizing skin damage, aim for short periods of sun exposure, specifically between 10am-4pm, with peak hours being 10am-11am and 3pm-4pm, and limit daily exposure to 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a week, with regular clothes on, while avoiding prolonged exposure during peak hours, especially for fair skin,
