I'm a software engineer and I spend most of my day sitting. I've noticed I get these boils with white tops on my buttocks and sometimes they pop and hurt a lot. Is there any medicine I can use to treat this?

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 woke up this morning with some bruises on my inner thighs, and it's kinda weird because I haven't been doing any intense physical stuff. They're not hurting when I touch them, though. I usually sit in a funny way at work, like with one foot under my leg, but I'm not sure if that could cause such dark purple bruising. What's going on here?

I'm a bit worried because when I woke up yesterday morning, I noticed some pain at the corner of my lips and a little inside my mouth. Later, I found these small, slightly painful bumps appearing out of nowhere. Could you help me figure out what might be causing these? I've attached a photo for reference.
