I've been dealing with a vitamin D deficiency and I'm taking uprise D3 60k once a week for it. Lately, I've noticed I'm losing a lot of hair and it's not growing back properly. What should I do about this? Can I take a biotin supplement to help? If so, what's a good one to consider?

I'm noticing some dark spots on the back of my neck, thighs, and waist, and my underarms have become darker too. A skin doctor once mentioned it might be related to insulin resistance. Could that be true, and what steps should I take to figure this out?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.
