I've been reading up on vitamin D and its impact on hair health, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm 23 years old and was recently told I have a vitamin D deficiency. My 25 OH hydroxy vitamin D test results show I have about 23ngmL. Could this deficiency be causing my hair loss? I'm pretty worried and would love some advice.

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to hair loss, particularly alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and female pattern hair loss; with a 25(OH)D level of 23 ngmL, you have a moderate deficiency; supplementing with vitamin D (1,000-2,000 IUday) and maintaining a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin may help promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.

View allI'm really worried because my nails have this blackish fungus on them and they're all uneven. I've been looking for ways to clear it up and get them back to looking normal and whitish. I heard about this Grisovin FP 250 mg tablet. Do you think that's a good option for dealing with this? Any ideas on how to tackle this problem?

I've noticed some pimples or bumps on my penis for the past month. They're not painful, but I'm really worried about what might be causing them. Is this something serious, or should I be doing something to treat it?
Without a physical examination, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. However, if these bumps are due to a non-infectious cause such as Fordyce spots or pearly penile papules, no treatment may be necessary. If they are due to a skin condition or infection, topical antibiotics like Bacitracin or Neosporin may be recommended. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.

I have two moles on my face that I want to remove because they're changing in size and don't look good. They also keep getting scratched when I shave. Can you suggest a hospital or doctor I can consult? Is there any way to remove them without surgery, and if not, what's the cost of surgery? How many days will it take to heal, and is there a chance they'll grow back?
Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.
