What are the multi vitamins doing my skin?

I have noticed ever since I started taking multi vitamins for my hair, the skin on my fingers and hands have been blistering and forming calluses all over. Is this normal?

My normal routines and activities have not changed recently, so I don't know of anything else that could be causing this.

I have cracked dry hands and wanted to know what vitamin or mineral dificency that is?

Most of the 6 cracked areas are around creases where my fingers bend.
I may be dehydrated for sure but there must be a vitamin or mineral deficiency as well. This happens to me about 3 times a year and it hurts and it's a bit ugly.

How to nourish dehydrated, frizzy, fried hair?

I've dyed my hair a bit too much, and though it's been 3 months since I last dyed it, I still shed like a cat.
And when I DON'T use a straightener, it's a wavy, curly, frizzy, coarse feeling, MESS.
When I do it's super soft...but I'd rather not keep losing my hair please.
I also try not to straighten my hair much. (not more than 1 or 2x a week.)
And I wash It every 2-3 days.
I use two conditioners, one of which is supposedly a 'deep' conditioner..It's by Garnier Fructis....
Would taking vitamins help?
Or do I need to go get a professional Protein and deep conditioning treatment performed at a salon?
Homemade remedies, or store bought remedies would be useful.
I have thick hair, original light brown, dyed black. Cut about 5-6 inches below my shoulder, and in too many layers to count, starting at the top of my ears.

My hair went from light brown, to dark brown, to black, back to dark brown, to red/blonde, back to black, and then the roots re-dyed black again. All since late October, 2008.
I also went most of late june, early july without straightening it but once.
(it was for about 3 weeks, but no matter what I do, almost enough hair to clog the drain comes out every time i take a shower and run my fingers through my hair. :/ )
OH, I'm also looking to get my hair to grow out..
It was down to my waist early 2008, and i cut it off to my shoulders in march, 2008. :( I miss my long hair.

A good multivitamin that I can buy at a major retailer?

I am 15 years old and I think I may need some more iron, zinc, and other vitamins. My hair has been falling out easier and I have white spots on my fingernails. I've been to the doctor numerous times (except for the hair loss) since I am a complete hypochondriac and he always reassures me there is nothing wrong with me, even though I haven't been back since I started being able to pull out 1 or 2 strands of hair almost every time I run my fingers through it.

I know that eating a good diet is the best way to get vitamins and stuff, but that isn't always possible under my situation. I can't go to a "GNC" or whatever everyone else is talking about to get a good quality multivitamin so I would like to know if there are any ones that seem to work fairly well that I could buy from wal-mart or another major retailer. I have tried the equate one from wal-mart, but i've done some research and it apparently is not absorbed very well, so does anyone know of any better ones?

Help would be appreciated.

Why is my hair falling out?

I'm kinda worried about my hair. It's falling out more than usual. I just run my fingers through it and 5 to 6 stands come out. In the shower and when brushing it, it is worse. I don't have the best diet (ramon noddles and beer =0....) but it's the college diet. I know I need to take more vitamins, What kind should I take? I don't have a lot of money, so the best stuff for the cheapest price would help. Thanks!!!

Manicurists!! Seems I am alergic to acrylic chemicals…?

for the past 3 fills (two weeks between each fill) my fingers itch and swell terribly. I'm pretty sure sure that I'm having an alergic reaction to it, buy WHY after 15 years? Anyway...

I will be taking the acrylics off this weekend but I have noticed that my cuticles are very dry, cracked and HARD and the skin on my fingertips underneath the nail is dry and sensitive. I use vitamin E oil and cuticle oil several times a day and massage it in but I'm not getting much relief. Any suggestions and thank you!
