I've been using benzoyl peroxide 2.5 for my acne. Do you think I should also be taking tretiva 10mg with it, or is benzoyl peroxide enough on its own to help clear up my skin? I'm just trying to figure out the best approach to treat my acne.

I've been experiencing severe hair loss lately and it's really worrying me. I did all sorts of blood tests and found out I have a vitamin D deficiency.

What else could be causing such drastic hair loss?
